“We must address young people not as subjects but as protagonists of their own life path”, says Minister Fabiana Dadone, Minister for Youth Policies of the Draghi government. He is a guest of Riccardo Luna for the Italian Tech TechTalk, where he comments on the first research commissioned by the new hub of the GEDI Group to the SWG company that analyzes the needs, desires and feelings of Italian children under thirty.

The marked sense of uncertainty and mistrust that accompanies young people is striking, but it is nothing new, especially after the period of the pandemic ”, comments the minister. “To this is added a significant sense of helplessness, girls and boys feel that they are subjected to the choices of others, especially adults, and that they cannot guide their own destiny”.

In addition to commenting on the data, however, the minister made some proposals: “I immediately launched a triad of objectives: work, home, business. As also emerges from the research, these three objectives are not ends in themselves but must be a lever in order to become autonomous and independent, in order to guarantee stability and certainty. Put them in the conditions of being able to emancipate ourselves, concretely, is our mission “.

Dadone lists the measures already taken and the next ones:

  • The strengthening of the Fund for the first home.
  • The reform of the Youth credit fund (5 million) to adapt it to the needs of young people and extend it to self-employment, leasing (rentals) as well as training.
  • The relaunch of the connection between the world of school and that of work with the School of Trades for the development of the Industry Academy.

In addition, there are also projects outside the regulatory process, such as Open Doors, launched last March, which will begin with weekly webinars on 7 June. Where, live on the web with the CEOs and managers of the largest national and international companies based in Italy, young people will be able to discuss experiences, study paths, work and life. Not lessons, but examples: “We implement the model role as I think it is appropriate to do it also in school and training courses”, explains the minister, citing gamification and informal training.

“It must be clear that young people in Italy are not alone”, He adds. Not in words but in deeds: “We have foreseen more 30 million on the Fund for youth policies to support young people in the post-pandemic phase, in particular with regard to the prevention and contrast of youth problems, as well as for personal, professional and social growth “.

More generally, the one proposed by Dadone is a serious commitment to define strategic youth policies and measures. “This is why I believe it is necessary to organize a think tank that works concretely on the evaluation of the impact of measures that directly or indirectly affect young people”. The decree, which could arrive by June (“I closed the preliminary work today”) will involve associations, experts in the sector but above all the National Youth Council and the National Youth Agency. “A fluid work group, which includes those who take care of young people”.

Video games
Dadone takes it very seriously too video games, and has long been conducting interviews on Twitch with the protagonists of this world, But he did more: i
On May 21st, the notice was published to access the financing of video game development projects. A fund of 4 million strongly wanted by the Conte bis government to relaunch the sector and above all to allow young programmers to be able to develop an entrepreneurial and working path with the support of the State. The fund will support 50% of the non-repayable costs, with the completion of the work in 18 months. “It’s not a lot of 4 million, I know, but if there are so many questions, if they will be exhausted soon, it will be easier to get a refinance”.

There is also this on youth 2030, the site that gathers information for all calls for young people, the most recent and those that have been active for years. “There are a lot of them, there is also a ban on the digital civil service,” he says. “It was launched on 12 May with a clear indication of the certification of the skills that the 1000 volunteers will acquire. In the PNRR only another 60 million is expected “.

The minister for youth policies, consistent with her role, frequents the social platforms most loved by young people: a little Facebook, a lot of Instagram and Twitch. And TikTok? “I try, I think it is an important channel to reach the boys: we communicate issues that are not light in a light way”. On TikTok a guy from Chivasso is the fourth creator with the most followers in the world: over 60 million: cWhat does his story teach us? “That with irony you can manage to find a job“, says Dadone. He lives in Italy, studied in Italian schools, but does not have Italian citizenship:” For me it makes sense to review the criteria for assigning Italian citizenship. If we fall again on ius solis or ius culturae, we end up in inappropriate polarizations. And to the citizens’ requests, the Public Administration must give answers in certain times “.

The future
The boys “are the vital impetus of the country, they have always brought about changes, and it is right that they make their need to be heard strongly appear, especially on issues as important as the Zan Bill. Which” MUST be approved, it is not a need of the right or the left “, says the minister. But what is her idea of ​​the future?” Children must be involved in active policies, but not only them. I would like a greater movement in terms of direct democracy, I expect interconnection, interoperability of databases, the possibility that the collection of signatures for referendums and popular initiative laws can be done in digital format. But also that it is possible to teach in a different way, learn coding, know how to value collaboration and manage stress.
