Over the past 20 years, the development of gathering spaces in our country has occurred in connection with that of youth policies. From the enactment of Law 285/97 ‘Provisions for the promotion of rights and opportunities for children and adolescents’ (and the related Fund for Children and Adolescents) we then moved on to the establishment of the Ministry of Youth (2007) and the Fund for Youth Policies, with the development of regional framework agreements that always included a boost to the start-up and/or support of these spaces.
Law 285 of August 28, 1997 is part of a complex and fundamental legislative framework aimed at promoting the rights, quality of life, development, individual fulfillment and socialization of children and adolescents.
Aggregation, therefore, is now recognized as a fundamental need of young people and adolescents and as a privileged area where they can experience the game of life.
Therefore, the Youth Aggregation Center is not understood as a service specialized in a problem and aimed at a predefined target group, but as a meeting place where, with the help of trained operators, one gets to know oneself and others within a protected environment and in creative ways.
CAGs are a real opportunity to use one’s free time with the support of educational, adult and positive figures. In fact, a notable change in the culture of CAGs is the shift from the perspective of preventing youth distress and marginalization to that of promoting well-being and growth.
