CRESCO is the new network of municipal spaces dedicated to boys and girls: an integrated system of 32 inclusive, multifunctional spaces, with free access and accessible to everyone, distributed in the six districts of the city.

The CRESCO spaces are one of the projects of Radically Adolescents, the new municipal administration strategy defined for and with adolescents, created in collaboration with the IU Rusconi Ghigi Foundation.
CRESCO spaces are presented as transversal places, which are modified according to need and users, welcoming both boys and girls from 6 to 11 years old, and girls and boys up to 18 years old based on spaces and different time slots.
In each CRESCO space there is an educational team consisting of an educator and an educator, for a total of about 80 educators throughout the city.

The presentation

The CRESCO spaces will be presented to the city on Thursday, February 27, 2025 from 4 pm at the Opportunity Space in via Demetrio Martinelli 18.

The presentation will be attended by the mayor Matteo Lepore, Veronica Ceruti director of the Education, Education and New Generations Area of the City of Bologna, Michele d'Alena of the IU Rusconi Ghigi Foundation, Giulia Casarini, president of Scu.Ter and Mario Nicoletti, citizen coordinator of the services managed by Scu.Ter. There will also be Super Porto, the communication agency that edited the communication campaign and, of course, accompanied by their educators, the boys and girls of the city.

It will be an afternoon to learn about the spaces and activities of these places of sociality open to everyone.
