Milan, 16 August 2021 - Welfare: a handbook to ensure that minors are creators and evaluators of the projects dedicated to them. Encouraging the involvement of children and young people to build proposals that are increasingly tailored to their real needs, this is the objective that the municipal administration has set itself: the departments of Education and Social Policies, with the collaboration of the Guarantor of Rights for childhood and adolescence, they shared a guide to support the offices that will deal with tenders for the use of economic resources (the investment forecast is 13,8 million euros). Attention was focused both on some operational aspects linked to specific scores and reward mechanisms for those who encourage the active participation of boys and girls, and on the promotion of youth volunteering.
