Culture that heals

Associazione degli Operai - Società di Mutuo Soccorso runs a cultural space in Settimo Torinese (TO) where young people not currently in education, training or work take part in relational theatre and hands-on craft activities, alongside older residents and local schoolchildren. The project gives these young people a route back towards learning and work, building self-esteem through theatre and practical skills such as bike repair, furniture restoration and food logistics, while also supporting local food solidarity.
