Project Summary

The economic and social scenario of the EU countries has undergone profound changes in recent years. Some are the result of the crisis of the years 2008 and following, others
it is the unraveling of the progressive de-industrialization of many urban areas of the continent. This new context has led to the mutation of the
urban landscape, where often unused and abandoned areas at the end of their manufacturing life meet, especially in the suburbs. Yes
it supports a growing youth unemployment, fruit of that same process of abandonment and change of the development model born with the
industrial revolution. The disused industrial areas and the difficult inclusion of young people in the labor market are elements of the same dynamics and
they pose, among the many possible, two questions: a) how to rethink the cities and enhance the unused production areas, improving the livability of the neighborhoods and
reducing the environmental impact, b) how to ensure, in the light of the economic changes taking place, that the valorisation and reconversion of these urban spaces
generate unprecedented employment potentials (not contingent and only related to project activities and infrastructural adaptation), able to respond to new
needs of goods and services. In the perspective described, it is considered essential to promote, as a strategic action for the development and governance of the territory, the
modeling and systemising these experiences, with the aim of encouraging the recovery of abandoned industrial plants and re-reading in a new way the
their social and productive function, welcoming the needs of the communities and the current needs of the labor market. The actions indicated in this project are
in particular, they set out the following specific objectives: a) to compare and model successful experiences in the redevelopment and management of spaces
industrial companies that have assumed a new cultural, social and recreational use, b) define the professional skills needed for the management of the structuresaccompagnamento al lavoro. I partner hanno una esperienza specifica nel settore della produzione e gestione di eventi culturali e di professioni legate al
settore arte e spettacolo.L’implementazione del progetto prevede la realizzazione delle seguenti attività:a) Analisi delle best practice presenti a livello europeo
sul riuso di aree industriali dismesse a fini sociali e culturali b) Realizzazione di un virtual workspace c) Realizzazione delle attività di short term mobility d)
Realizzazione di una mostra fotografica e) Definizione delle linee guida per la progettazione di attività artistiche e culturali in aree industriali dismesse. Il
progetto intende offrire un contributo concreto nella valorizzazione delle aree dismesse di origine industriale e generare iniziative di natura culturale e sociale
in grado di creare un indotto professionale qualificato e offrire una risposta alla mancanza di opportunità occupazionali per i giovani.Un ulteriore impatto
atteso è rappresentato dalla costruzione di un network stabile di partner europei che possa contribuire in modo significativo alla qualità dei progetti culturali
già attivati nelle varie realtà e consolidare ulteriormente le opportunità di lavoro e coinvolgimento delle comunità locali.
