Civil society and social agriculture: regenerative factors in marginalized young people

Abstract

Social agriculture is one of the areas of intervention of the civil economy. In this field, Inapp has carried out a research project: "Prevention is possible: analysis of the accompanying measures for the school-work transition of young people with mental distress". This project has made it possible to highlight some of the most innovative paths implemented by schools to promote the school-work transition for young people with mental disabilities in conjunction with social farms that practice social agriculture. Although not yet widespread, these experiences show that it is possible to provide opportunities for professional development and inclusion through rehabilitation and educational programs aimed at promoting full autonomy and the acquisition of professional and relational skills that allow an opportunity for job inclusion.
