The need to carry out this project stems from the need of SCI-Italy to support young people in order for them to create opportunities and build their own future and become protagonists of a society anchored in the European values ​​of social inclusion, justice and participation in the democratic life despite the economic crisis and the social disintegration.The project captures many of the goals and priorities of the Erasmus + Programme and the “Inclusion and Diversity Strategy” in particular:- It aims to promote the social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, specially refugees and asylum seekers, but also students, unemployed and minorities.- It aims to raise awareness about the European Citizenship in order to increase the participation of young people in democratic life.- It allows the growth of the ability to use digital communication tools and new media.The project develops around a local project of SCI-Italy named “La Città dell'Utopia”, which was entrusted by the Municipality VIII in Rome, San Paolo neighbourhood.
