Studenti per la città: University life and community

Here it is a little newspaper article taken from "La Nuova Sardegna", a famous local newspaper.
It is about the conference that took place in Cagliari about students' associations "associazioni  studentesche a favore degli studenti" and especially  focuses on the different possibilities that students may have to form themselves in a  local as well as in an european  context. The idea, developed by the association "Studenti per la città" in cooperation with "Tdm2000", brought to the formation of an online portal called "Lpf - La prossima fermata" (the next stop); this new online activity gives the students - and not only students- the possibility to know the different offers of italian Universities as well as to have a real job interview and to understand and participate to international projects for young people.
There are several opportunities that the students can find, but great part of them don't know their existence. Let's have a look!

CAGLIARI 
La vita da studenti universitari non è così facile come può sembrare ai più: alcuni necessitano di un lav oro part time che li consenta di mantenersi Agli studi, altri vorrebbero poter  studiare all’estero per accrescere il proprio curriculum, o fare uno stage. Ma non è affatto facile    raggiungere questi obiettivi. Più spesso le difficoltà si trov ano anche nelle piccole cose di tutti i giorni,  di vita da studente quotidiana. Molti, infatti, ancora faticano a trovare un alloggio con un contratto  regolare e ad un costo accessibile. In loro soccorso, e non solo, arriva “La prossima fermata” (Lpf), il  portale online che offre ai giovani l’opportunità di conoscere l’offerta formativa degli atenei italiani, di  proporsi per un reale colloquio di lavoro e partecipare a progetti giovanili internazionali. L’idea è nata  dall’Associazione studenti per la città in collaborazione con Tdm 2000, che con una semplice  registrazione consente ai giovani di semplificare le numerose ricerche su internet: al posto di “viaggi”  estenuanti basta un semplice click. L’iniziativa è stata presentata nei giorni scorsi, nella sala Cosseddu  della Casa dello studente di via Trentino, durante la conferenza “Associazioni studentesche a servizio  dello studente”. In primo piano l’orientamento formativo e professionale per i giovani a livello locale ed  internazionale e start-up d’impresa. Ad oggi sono diverse le opportunità alle quali è possibile accedere a  seconda delle necessità, anche se la maggior parte degli studenti non ne è a conoscenza. Da pochi mesi  ad esempio è attivo lo sportello di Consulenza legale per gli affitti e il servizio di assistenza sanitaria per  gli studenti fuori sede. Da tempo invece è attivo Student Jobs, lo sportello polifunzionale– interistituzionale che fornisce informazioni ed eroga servizi di competenza di uffici e di enti diversi,  pubblici e privati operanti sul territorio, che si occupano di istruzione, formazione ed inserimento al  lavoro. Anche l’Ersu, l’ente per il diritto allo studio, organizza seminari, conferenze, utili in ambito  professionale. Di prossima apertura invece il Welcome Day e lo sportello casa.

Youth in Action: Discovering our Europe




What does "Yia" mean? Is it the name of a new Spy agency? Is it the new code To enter your e-mail address? No: are the young people moving all around Europe.
Youth in Action is the Programme the European Union has set up for young people. It aims to 
inspire a sense of active European citizenship, solidarity and tolerance among young Europeans 

and to involve them in shaping the Union's future. A new kind of mobility, based on non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue, investigating into our social and cultural background.
The Youth in Action Programme aims to respond at European level to the needs of young people from 
adolescence to adulthood. It makes an important contribution to the acquisition of competences  supporting
the new youth policy framework for European Cooperation in the youth field adopted in 2009, which
outlines a cross-sectoral approach to youth issues with a view not only to creating more and equal opportunities for all young people.Making young people aware that they are European citizens is a priority of the Youth in Action Programme. The objective is to encourage young people to reflect on European topics and to involve them in the discussion on the construction and the future of the European Union. On this basis, projects should have a strong "European dimension" and stimulate reflection on the emerging European society and its values.  
The priority of the Youth in Action Programme is the active participation of young people in their daily life. What does it mean? It means to be active citizens in European reality, into the dimension that shows us that we are part of the european consciousness, and we mhave to take part at this project; only understanding and respecting our cultural differences we will able to appreciate mthem and increase our baggage of knowledge with a larger sense of being citizens.

Studenti per la città: About us- Our project





This project is promoted by the association Studenti per la città: a reality made by students coming from high school and university, as well as young graduates.
The main objective of the association is to foster active participation in youth from all over our island, Sardinia. Meetings with students, workshops, information campaigns and university conferences as well as sports and leisure time activities are the main activities proposed and developped by our association. In doing that we rely on other partners association such as:
  • Omeath Youth Group (Ireland)
  • Association of Initiatives and Cooperation "YARD" (Latvia)
  • Krajove Towarzystwo Autyzmu Oddzial w Krakovie (Poland)
  • Kulturno izobrazevalno drustvo PINA (Slovenia)
  • Association Cazalla Intercultural (Spain)
  • Utbildningsforvaltningen Lidkoping (Sweden).

Despite the fact that "Associazione Studenti per la Città" has been recently established we have been experiencing theYouth in Action program as an informal group. As a group and especially as individuals we have taken part to many YiA projects, also supporting the organizers in implemnting the activities.Therefore, we have developed a good expertise and we have decided to host an activity to enlarge our capacities and to facilitate the participation of the young people of our local community to this kind of projects. We have grown up a lot by participating to these projects both on the personal side but also we have achieved some skills and competences that cannot be acquired at school or in daily life if there isn't a challenge and a comparison with other habits and experiences that come from the fact of belonging from a different
culture. At local level we have organized many activities to promote intercultural understanding and we cooperate with the youth organizations to be effective in our local community.

SARDINIA DREAMIN'....




Sardinia is the second largest island in the mediterranean sea with a total surface area of 24.090 km2, 1850 kilometres of coastline and about 1.600.000 inhabitants. It is located 187 km from the italian peninsula and the territory is mainly made of hills and highlands. In September summer weather i still going on. The average daily temperature in Sardinia during this month is between 28°c during the morning and 19°c during the night.








The sea reigns over this region with its colours and its shapes; from Costa Smeralda to Costa verde, east coast and west coast, Sardinia offers a great variety of beauties and fantastic landscapes. 











Those who prefer the mountain to the sea can explore the area of Gennargentu, the greatest mountain range in Sardinia, with its peculiar landscape, where Man and Nature joined one another and decided that the latter should have the priority. This region is rich in flora and fauna, with its mouflons, golden eagles, Sardinian deer and several species that are now threatened with extinction. 


However, the presence of man does not seem to affect this territory; great surfaces still preserve their natural composition, luxuriant woods with even millenary trees, small desert areas and marshes inhabited by deers, wild horses and rapacious birds.
