Fostering equality and young people involvement through cultural activities

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), which sets objectives to be achieved by 2026, includes in Mission 1 an investment of €300 million aimed at removing physical and cognitive barriers in museums, libraries, and archives, to enable broader access and participation in culture.

The Plans for the Removal of Architectures Barriers (P.E.B.A.) serves as a strategic planning and policy document, set up to monitor, design, and implement interventions that ensure full accessibility to public spaces and buildings for all citizens, with particular attention to people with disabilities.

As part of Mission 5 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), focused on "Sport and Social Inclusion," the Department for Sport of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers launched initiatives to develop parks and equipped recreational pathways in disadvantaged areas of the country, in collaboration with municipalities as the implementing entities. Among the required commitments, implementing entities must comply with PNRR cross-cutting principles, including gender equality, youth protection and empowerment, and the reduction of territorial disparities. 

Combating discrimination and poverty through cultural activities

The National Coordination of the New Italian Generations (CoNNGI) (Coordinamento Nazionale delle Nuove Generazioni Italiane) aims to promote the inclusion of young people from diverse cultural backgrounds who were either born or raised in Italy. The National Coordination brings together associations formed by young people with a migratory background and fosters opportunities for cultural exchange through dedicated events. Among the key points of the CoNNGI Manifesto for New Generations, culture, sports, and active participation are promoted as fundamental elements to support youth associations and equal opportunities.
