Description
The PGZ is a tool used by an area to promote, co-construct, enhance and foster local and provincial youth policies and a shared culture about them:
- by encouraging initiatives in favour of young people or organised by young people themselves
- observing the condition of young people in the area;
- becoming a stimulus for institutions and active citizenship;
- working on building personal and social autonomy;
- opening up to the global dimension without forgetting the local and its roots.
The Zone Youth Plan, abbreviated PGZ, represents a free initiative of local autonomy, implemented by a territory of at least 3,000 contiguous residents, homogeneous in terms of culture, tradition, geographical structure, settlement and production, and interested in
- developing active policies aimed at promoting actions in favour of the world of youth, understood in its broadest sense as pre-adolescents, adolescents, young people and young adults between the ages of 11 and 35
- sensitising the community towards a positive, welcoming and proactive attitude towards this category of citizens.
The PGZ is a tool for developing the area's interest, strategic vision and investment in the young people who inhabit it, by organising opportunities capable of providing space for and supporting local energies, ideas, resources and skills in youth policies.
