The Young Me project, promoted by the Department of Youth Policies of the Municipality of Messina with the support of the Special Company Messina Social City, takes a concrete and visible step with the opening of the first info point dedicated to young people in the area. The inauguration will be held tomorrow, Wednesday 25 June, At 18.30, at the Central Kiosk of Piazza Cairolione of the symbolic places of the city and daily meeting point for many boys and girls.
The space was born with the aim of guaranteeing a stable and accessible garrison, where young people under 35 will be able to receive information, orientation and concrete support to build their personal and professional path. But it will also be a listening point, capable of intercepting the real needs of the young Messina and return useful data to the design of targeted policies and actions.
The info point will be managed by a multidisciplinary team of Messina Social City, made up of professionals qualified in the education, orientation and social inclusion sectors. The goal is not only information, but also educational by guaranteeing young tools useful for conscious personal growth, strengthening transverse skills and stimulating active participation in the life of the community. Piazza Cairoli, always a place of meeting and sociality for young people, thus transforms itself into a stable point of reference, which wants to speak to children in their language and in their spaces, building a direct and daily bond between institutions and youth citizenship. The opening of the first info point represents only the beginning of a wider path, in the coming months further openings are planned in the different municipalities, to guarantee a widespread presence in the area and reach young people more effectively wherever they are. The Young Me project proposes itself as a concrete tool to combat youth discomfort, encourage inclusion, stimulate educational and professional growth and create new opportunities for young Messina, starting from their real needs and potential.
