The projects
The new edition of the project, spanning four sports seasons, takes place in the cities of Catania, Milan, Naples, and Palermo and is structured into two complementary pathways: one aimed at young people undergoing probation within the framework of external penal execution and the other targeting youths hosted in Juvenile Penal Institutions (specifically: IPM Bicocca-Catania, IPM Beccaria-Milan, IPM Airola-Benevento, IPM Malaspina-Palermo).
On one hand, the initiative aims to strengthen probation* pathways by integrating sports activities and professional guidance experiences, thereby facilitating the social reintegration of young people involved in the penal system. On the other, it enhances the existing sports activities within the IPMs, offering participants the opportunity to attend a training course to become assistant coaches, a qualification valid even after their detention period, to support their reintegration into society through sport.
This dual approach provides all participating youths with a valuable opportunity for personal growth, reflection, and guidance in building their future.
The Juvenile Social Service Offices (USSM) and the Pedagogical Areas of the IPMs play a key role in selecting participants, identifying young people between the ages of 16 and 20 who can embark on this type of journey.
*Probation is an innovative judicial measure that suspends criminal proceedings and entrusts the minor to social services for an educational and reintegration program.
The primary goal of the project is to provide young people with a concrete opportunity for personal growth and social reintegration through educational and training activities. The integration of sports education and job inclusion allows for the creation of effective pathways that enable young people referred by social services to positively transform their life prospects.
For the first season of activities, the project involves:
