No walls
Slovenia’s entry into the European Union requires exchanges and cultural-social integration, in order to overcome any physical or mental border, thus fostering the growth of Gorizia and Nova Gorica, providing them with the opportunity to tackle even their most contradictory and uncomfortable aspects. Against this background, the project fosters young people’s aggregation and socialization, with special regard to youth at risk of emargination, by ensuring suitable environments and initiatives to carry out cultural, sport and musical activities whilst setting up a network and preventing young people’s unease. In particular environmental renovation activities are going to be carried out in a historical area - the Basaglia park (former psychiatric hospital in Gorizia); the construction of a music rehearsal studio, a musical video recording studio and a gym is envisaged by the project. These areas - located on the border between Italy and Slovenia - will lay the basis for the development of young people’s activities, thus turning a place of suffering and treatment in a meeting and aggregation centre.
