The Barrio’s Social Center of Comunità Nuova Onlus is located in the Barona neighborhood of Milan. It represents a place of aggregation, but also a space where projects aimed at the community are carried out to prevent phenomena of hardship and marginality.
In this context we offer minors and young people in the neighborhood and the city a range of activities aimed at social integration, in particular:
- school support and after-school activities for children and young people in primary and secondary schools to encourage the inclusion of Italian and foreign minors in society and prevent school dropout
- Summer Center between June and July for children and young people, to provide playful-recreational experiences with moments of play and outings in the city to promote peer relationships and intercultural
- learning Italian workshops for “newcomers” to strengthen their skills in the Italian language and guarantee them equal access to the right to study
- cultural activities at Barrio’s, such as theater, music, literature and visual arts, with the aim of stimulating the curiosity of children through outings and experiences
Objectives:
- Improve the academic performance of young people, decrease school dropout and offer support to families in guiding their children through the school career
- Provide opportunities for socialization and knowledge of the area and improve the quality of the range of activities during the summer period
- Facilitate second language learning and enable the achievement of academic success
- Encourage artistic paths, sharing, group work, cultural activities and workshops to establish relationships and ensure social inclusion
Beneficiaries: children and young people aged 6 to 20 years in the Barona district and the southwest area of Milan..
