If the international cooperation projects have been cut and the criteria have undergone substantial changes ( Here article ), the global citizenship education projects are completely eliminated from the provincial programming. The cut of the Province of these initiatives, which in recent years have been carried out by numerous associations, is clear cut.
Initiatives such as ” We tell you a story ” carried out by Acav , together with the Provincial Federation of Kindergartens , Canossian Kindergarten and Canossa Fashion Center, Tuttopace Table, Pavonian Artisan Institute and Friends Association of the John Paul II Foundation, are no longer of interest to the new provincial council.

Savings ? Approximately 250 thousand euro of appropriations per call per year on projects in turn co-financed by the associations. Loans canceled, even if they concern Trentino and take place entirely on the territory.

The priority must be towards our citizens “, here are projects that could perform this function, which come closer, jump.
The project ” We tell you a story “, one of the last financed by the junta Rossi , started last year and the cost of the operation is, as anticipated, around € 20,000 per year.

Projects set up to promote an open and dialoguing school , to share and give value to everything that each institution puts in place every day. Plans and initiatives that also see the contribution of volunteers and local associations to weave ideas and paths with families , communities and institutions , without barriers.
