TORINO (ITALPRESS) – Understand the transformations that are affecting the new generations by woven voices, data and experiences to build effective interventions. This is the goal of “Alonging to the Future”, a project of the Probable Future Association realized with the support of the Foundation CRT, together with Fondazione Cariplo and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo and with the patronage of the Ministry of Education.
The initiative develops through a field research that directly involves over 500 young people between 6 and 16 years, distributed in about 100 territorial units of the North-West, among neighborhoods and municipalities: primary, secondary schools students and a share of minors outside school courses.
Each young person is dedicated a work of observation and video interview aimed at investigating habits, relationships and modes of use of time, with particular attention to the relationship with school, family and digital environment.
The research is characterized by a wide production of documents: altogether there are approximately 1,500 hours of filming, to which the contributions collected by teachers, school managers, parents and operators of the Third Sector are accompanied. The material will be reworked in a structured multimedia production, consisting of about 300 minutes of total content, articulated in 15 thematic docufilms, dedicated to the main directors of research.
“Projects such as ‘Learning to the Future’ are an important part of our commitment to understanding and addressing new forms of educational poverty. In a context marked by profound transformations, we consider it essential to support the analysis of data the direct listening of young people, real protagonists of this innovative project, in order to return a more authentic reading of the phenomenon,” explains the president of the Foundation CRT, Anna Maria Poggi.
The project is part of a context marked by critical issues. About one third of the Italian population is functional illiterate according to OECD / PIAAC data (35% in 2025). Of the 15-year period, 21% do not achieve adequate skills in text comprehension (OECD PISA 2022).
More than two-thirds of students use artificial intelligence for linguistic production (between 65% and 84% Tortuga & Yellow Tech, 2025; GoStudent, 2025), while NEET youth in Italy are over 1.3 million (ISTAT 2024).
“For the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation, education is a decisive lever to build more cohesive, inclusive and capable of building the future,” emphasizes the Secretary General of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation, Alberto Anfossi.
