PUNTO LUCE AND THE 0-18 EDUCATIONAL HUB
One of the most significant examples of this collaboration is the 0-18 Educational Hub opened in 2022 inside the Punto Luce [Point of Light] in the Vallette district of Turin, 800 metres from the Allianz Stadium. ‘Punti Luce’ are educational spaces promoted by Save the Children Italy; they are located in disadvantaged areas and work to offer children and adolescents educational and cultural opportunities.
Juventus’ support made it possible to upgrade and expand the Punto Luce, which now covers 1,000 square metres, offering support to children and families in economically and socially fragile conditions, who thus benefit from educational opportunities that are indispensable for their development, including: study support, the promotion of reading, art and music workshops, access to new technologies, sports and motor activities.
This centre is a key reference point for families in the area: more than 840 children and adolescents (aged between 6 and 17) participated in the activities of the Educational Hub in the period January-June 2024. Of these, more than 250 regularly attend the summer centre, which opened in June at the end of the school year.
The Spazio Mamme [Mothers’ Space] that was initially a separate facility was also integrated as part of this project. Spazio Mamme is a Save the Children project that offers support to mothers and families (with children between 0 and 6 years old) in vulnerable situations. Mothers receive practical and psychological assistance in these centres, as well as participate in job training and orientation; they can also access support services for their children’s growth, such as paediatric counselling and childcare. The project aims to strengthen the role of mothers, promoting the well-being of children and their families.
