A Case Study in Friuli Venezia Giulia: La Viarte and San Luigi, Socio-educational-training Ecosystems

Abstract

Italy is recording a higher school dropout rate than the rest of Europe. The pandemic context is increasing the problem, highlighting a probable weakness in the solutions in favor of the motivation to study, especially with respect to the more fragile segments of the population. This over time translates into a greater difficulty of the new generations to enter positively in the world of work with a consequent increase in juvenile deviance. The article aims to present the ways in which two Italian structures in the context of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region are responding to the problems set out. The question to be answered is: are there alternative training methods with which the difficulties of the current school system can be overcome in including the groups of young people with greater fragility?
