Today at Casa Moggioli in Trento the Euregio Tuesday event dedicated to paths from school to the world of work took place, with the presentation of the intermediate results of the project "Euregio Transitions: the world of youth between transitions, challenges and opportunities", which involved about 9,000 young people from Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino and conducted 70 interviews with students, teachers and guidance practitioners.
The Vice-President and Councillor for Education of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Francesca Gerosa, welcomed the participants at the opening of the event, emphasising that "for young people, important choices for their future, linked to schooling or the decision on which career path to take, require constant and customised guidance, which integrates the passing on of information, specific training and practical experience. The 'Trentino system' favours this synergy, through network policies and initiatives that help and support young people in understanding how to develop conscious and autonomous choices, in order to be active players in their growth and in the changes that these important phases of life entail. The presentation of this project is particularly important for its research character, but also as an invitation to compare with good practices and innovative models that the Trentino, South Tyrol and Tyrol territories put in place to be at young people's side in those delicate decision-making moments that are the transitions between school, training and the world of work'.
Among those present were the school superintendent of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Giuseppe Rizza, and Trentino's representative in the Euregio General Secretariat, Elisa Bertò,
As Bertò explained, 'the project aims to analyse and improve young people's transition paths between school and the world of work. At the same time, it aims to support the administrations of the three territories in implementing effective measures and to strengthen networking'.
The data collected offer a significant insight into the challenges faced by young people in the three Euregio territories, highlighting differences and similarities in the guidance and support systems.
