Between the days of Friday 29 November and Sunday 1 December , the Residential Workshop of the “Be Active, Shape Europe” project was held in Chiavenna, the main objective of which is to bring young people and political decision-makers closer together.
On the occasion of this second phase of the project, moments were dedicated to identify some of the common needs and problems among the young people of the city of Cinisello Balsamo, which led to a sharing of ideas and projects on active citizenship with the councilors Riccardo Visentin and Daniela Maggi.
