About the event
YOUTH UP is a project born from the Tenrock social cooperative, engaged in social circus activities for the purpose of including young people in disadvantaged areas through the enhancement of their relational and artistic skills. The project idea was born as a result of the awareness of how much children who find themselves in social isolation, without basic emotional skills and valid relational references, risk depressive states or even worse suicide. Indeed, the data reported by the World Health Organization according to which suicides rank second among the causes of death in the 15-29 age group is alarming. YOUTH UP foresees the involvement of 5 organizations committed to vulnerable young people from different European countries (Italy, Romania, Lithuania, Spain, Albania) motivated to activate social inclusion processes with non-formal and informal methodology. The aim of the project is the enhancement of resilience factors such as irony and social connectivity, through both the training of youth workers / educators, and the creation of opportunities for young people themselves in which they can discover forms of energetic activation through culture. of social circus and games that lead to stimulate processes of positive reactivity.
