Welfare in action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With the Welfare in Action<\/strong> programme, launched in 2014, Fondazione Cariplo has experimented with new forms of local welfare<\/strong> based on the strengthening of the community dimension<\/strong> and therefore on the engagement of society and citizens in participatory processes <\/strong>to respond more effectively and efficiently to existing and emerging social needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-seven projects<\/strong>, currently all completed, have been supported in the four editions of the call for proposals, with a total of 352<\/strong> public and private social partners involved (as well as hundreds of other entities in the connected networks), \u20ac36.5 million of grants approved <\/strong>against a total cost of \u20ac82.7 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with the methodological choice of leaving the identification of the issue for focus to the project networks, in recent years a cross-sectoral process of rethinking local welfare in many funded areas has been launched in the communities. Many topics have been addressed with transformation and innovation in mind: from vulnerability<\/strong> to care and conciliation services<\/strong>, from local policies for young people<\/strong> to how to meet the needs of people with disabilities<\/strong>, from mental health<\/strong> and corporate welfare<\/strong> with connections to local care services to the widespread integration <\/strong>of asylum seekers and restorative justice<\/strong>. The projects were supported at various stages in their monitoring<\/strong>, communication<\/strong> and fundraising<\/strong> activities, including by encouraging practical meetings in the community, as well as encounters and in-depth analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project and the various actions supported have been reported in articles on the website WelfareinAction<\/a> and at several public events, including ones held on 22 September 2017 at the Teatro Elfo Puccini<\/strong><\/a> and on 28 March 2019 at the Palazzo delle Stelline<\/strong>. Fondazione Cariplo also believes in the importance of conducting in-depth analyses of the learning and outcomes arising from the projects, made possible by the collaboration of research institutions, resulting in publications and articles on relevant websites.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n
