Urban moving

The project "CONTAMINATION" is supported by grants from the Regione Toscana APQ 2010, and is intended to encourage young people to participate in the community, assume leadership roles and foster an interest in multiculturalism by promoting sports and other entertainment events throughout the urban area.

“CONTAMINATION - Youth productions in the city” is a pilot project in the metropolitan area of Florence that incorporates a variety of activities to promote accountability and involvement for young people in the affairs of the city. The aim is to instill a sense of civic responsibility for young people.

The project's main aims:

• Provide activities for youth to keep them actively engaged by avoiding the risks of social exclusion.
• Provide programming for areas that are considered "at risk" throughout the metropolitan area.
• Interact with larger associations to incorporate the youth into all aspects of the community.

Specific activities:

• Music workshop
• Rollerskating workshop
• BMX workshop
• Graffiti workshop (to discuss appropriate locations for graffiti and respect for the city)
• Photography workshop
