There is also the analysis of the escape of young people from our Polesine and the strategies to stop it, among the works included in the 2024 co-planning path of the CSV of Padua and Rovigo, culminating in the signing of the agreement which will allow the transition from the didactic and laboratory plan to the operational one. In fact, to support the entire process, which includes nine projects spanning the two provinces, the CSV board of directors has allocated 200 thousand euros.
Now the 44 associations involved have 12 months to materialize their proposals. Of these, 25 organizations from Polesine have signed for five project actions focused on social fragility, elderly people and loneliness, youth problems and transport of weak and fragile subjects.
In detail, the fragility group, “Together in Polesine”, faced with a lack of knowledge of the problems relating to hardship and social welfare, will develop an action plan capable of carrying out activities aimed at vulnerable and more fragile segments of the population.
The elderly group, “Elderly at home: nonpiusoli ”, will implement a series of projects to help elderly, lonely and fragile people, to create socialization opportunities that go beyond the family network, offering psychological support, moments of meeting and more generally opportunities for psycho-physical well-being.
The culture group, “Where do you come from? Where are you going?”, aims to analyze the choice of young people to move from Rovigo, and more generally from Polesine, due to a lack of socialization opportunities, stimulating prospects and in some cases adequate services. The situation is particularly accentuated among the foreign population, who often feel marginalized and poorly integrated. For this reason, cultural moments of leisure and integration will be created.
The minor group, “Young people in the mirror”, will instead focus attention on the inability to understand emotions, the lack of places to meet, the use and abuse of social media and the lack of emotional awareness of young people between 13 and 17 years old. The project will try to convey principles such as the conscious use of technology, emotional literacy, empathy among young people. Psychomotor activities will be organised, including with animals, theatrical and artistic workshops, guided meetings for parents with the setting up of a listening desk also open to minors, and finally a training course will be created on the consequences of the abuse of social media.
Finally, the socio-health group, “Giving autonomy to the sick person”, starts from the observation of how in the Polesine there are objective difficulties in moving due to inadequate transport, to which is sometimes added poor physical and psychological support for the family and the person sick. For this reason, the group will organize moments of meeting and leisure, as well as physical and therapeutic activity. At the same time, we will try to create a network between subjects involved in transport to facilitate travel from home to hospital, home to gyms and home to leisure. Finally, we will try to offer psychological support to sick people and their caregivers.
“I have been in the world of volunteering since I was little, but I always discover new things and this continuous innovation leads to beautiful and fruitful results”, says the president of CSV Luca Marcon. “Moreover, the aim is common to all – he continues – that is to increase the level of quality of people’s lives”.
“The path of co-planning and co-programming is not always easy – underlines vice-president Marinella Mantovani – but once undertaken it has the power to be enriched with ever new and different experiences, as well as the contributions of people capable of creating new synergies between associations that, in the end, often deal with topics that are even opposite to each other. The results often go beyond what we could even imagine.”
