CARPI – I give care. The challenge of participation: this is the title of workshop of active participation of young people which, promoted by the Presidio Libera ‘Peppe Tizian’, Carpi 2030, Azione Cattolica and the Diocese, with the patronage of the Casa del Volontariato Foundation, a social organization of the CR Carpi Foundation, will take place Saturday 25 May in Carpiin the area of the bus square in via Peruzzi.
It has now become almost commonplace, in the political debate at all levels, as well as in the world of information, the idea that the young generations are increasingly distant from politics, understood both as a first-person activity, as militancy, as well as in terms of knowledge of the issues and debates underway. But is it really like that? Isn’t this also, perhaps, a cliché, combined with the fact that young people are interested in issues that concern the community, but perceive the issues that are close to their hearts as difficult to be taken up by the traditional political agenda? What, then, are the concrete initiatives to counter the real or presumed distance of young people from politics?
Saturday’s initiative, to which all people under 35 are invited, seeks to represent, at a local level, an alternative to the phenomenon: together with the participants, the topics of environment and sustainability, the future of Europe and the upcoming elections will be discussed . To the organization of the event Dozens of young people worked, belonging to various associations, who actively act as spokespersons for important values.
The initiative will start at 1.00 pm, in a picnic area set up for a picnic lunch in the open air with food offered by the organizers. This will be followed by group activities, during which the participants will divide into different discussion and work tables, where they will prepare food for thought for the next moment, at 4.30 pm, when mayoral candidates will speak at the event to deal directly with these young citizens.
