The proposal targets MVNGO’s need to expand its educational offer in the Adult field to the empowerment of a specific sub-category of the Adult population (low-skilled Adults) substantially represented in the geographic area (North Sardinia) and in the urban reality (Historic Center of Sassari) where in MVNGO has the most direct outreach in its regular activities.
The thematic focus, inspired by the social and urban challenges the organization has observed as the most impacting on the wellbeing of the area and of the Adult categories established therein, is placed on the empowerment of low-skilled Adults’ citizenship and participation in the digital arena and in community-building efforts based on a citizens’ journalism approach.
In terms of overall rationale, we wanted to empower concrete exercises of the rights of citizenship and participation in disadvantaged Adult categories by means of aware and impacting use of Social Media and digital communication instruments and, in a complementary fashion, empower and orient participation of disadvantaged (low-skilled) Adults towards concrete community building activities employing citizens’ journalism as a tool to gather insights and brainstorm solution over the challenges that most affect them as citizens of their own communities.
