Book Bazar in Italy

The “Book Bazar” event in Italy has been organised by Co&So, the Italian project partner, in collaboration with its associated cooperative “Intrecci”, which provides services, including the management of youth centers, to disadvantaged youth in Pistoia.

The event was advertised through social media (Instagram) and a flyer, created precisely for the event, has been sent through Whatsapp messages to the young girls and boys who regularly attend the cooperative’s youth centers. Educators have even urged personally young people to attend the event and to spread the word about the event among their friends.

The event took place in Via dei Macelli 13, Pistoia, where the cooperative’s “Workshop of opportunities” community hub is based and it was attended by 26 young people aged 14-17 years. The books for the event were both brought by the young people themselves (mainly fantasy and narrative books) and the educators who selected specific books for the age range of youngsters.

Young girls and boys were very happy of the event, they had fun and they commented that they would be happy to attend more events like this.

The event was a great success and served as a key opportunity to promote important values such as recycling, redevelopment, and environmental sustainability!
