Active citizenship and environmental / social sustainability in Milan

PuntoSud selected, financed and promoted 12 events that dealt with the issues of environmental and social sustainability, encouraging 12 events were an active participation of the inhabitants of 6 Social Housing residences and 6 university residences managed by the benefit company Redo Sgr, during the Pre-COP 2021, held in Milan, where delegations from about 40 countries arrived.

The initiative aimed to create a schedule of events which, in addition to being in line with the topics covered by the pre-COP26 in Milan, had an inclusive approach to sustainability, paying particular attention to the involvement and awareness of youth, people in vulnerable situations and those living in a peripheral context.

The objective of selecting, financing and promoting events that dealt with the issues of environmental and social sustainability, favoring the active participation of the inhabitants of all the residences of Redo SGR, has been widely achieved, and also the objective of creating relationship between inhabitants of the residences and people of the neighborhoods in which the residences are inserted, as well as with the associations of the territories.

In line with the objectives, the initiative supported the active commitment of third sector entities, which were able to promote effective actions in climate change and sustainable lifestyles and to animate, motivate and involve the target groups. The expected results – selection of at least 12 CSOs entities for the implementation of events in the Redo residences involving at least 75% of the inhabitants of the residences – have been achieved.

In July 2021 PuntoSud launched a call for events (in addition to the direct invitation for 2 entities) open to CSOs operating in Milan; the application form has been drawn up in a very simple but rigorous way in order to allow candidates to access this opportunity, obviating the disincentive mechanism relating to the classic complexity of applications and, on the other hands, to allow the evaluators to have enough elements to evaluate the proposal. All CSOs were eligible for participation and all events were deemed eligible and then funded. In particular, the initiatives highlighted the character of innovation and originality, were consistent with the general schedule of the initiative, involved in the implementation not only the “social managers”, the tenants of the residences services, but also the inhabitants of the neighborhoods, created connections with the territory and above all with the actors who insist on it and have carried out good communication of the event to maximize participation.
