Descrizione dell'organizzazione

plans and promotes all kinds of social services aimed at the population, to ensure its social, cultural and economic
development. Comune di Prato has always paid great attention to youth policies with avant-garde projects aimed at young

where young people can:
• exercise active citizenship and active participation in activities that meet their interests;
• develop creativity;
• foster their autonomy and self-management;
• exchange experience and cooperate to carry out projects;
• attend courses and improve their competencies:

Great attention is paid to youngsters with less opportunities. The aim is to support them in reaching independence (work, life

associations and self-employment projects
