  • Guiding Youth Towards Inclusive Innovation: The Role of InformaGiovani Arezzo

    In Arezzo, a city in the heart of Tuscany, supporting young people means much more than providing information. It means building bridges between youth aspirations and real opportunities in education, work, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Since its creation in 1993, InformaGiovani Arezzo, the Municipal Youth Services Centre and Youth Business Hub, has grown into a well-recognised reference point for inclusion and empowerment — and today, it stands out as a case example in the URBACT TechDiversity network.

  • Tech and Digital Diversity ecosystems in EU Cities: How Eight European Communities Are Building Inclusive Tech Futures

     

     

     

     

    Technology is changing our world—and even small cities are stepping up to make sure that change includes everyone. Across Europe, eight communities—Trikala and Psahna in Greece, Idrija in Slovenia, Arezzo in Italy, Bielsko-Biała in Poland, Larnaka in Cyprus, Amarante in Portugal, and Bucharest District 6 in Romania (the biggest one among all) — are leading the way in building diverse, open, and inclusive digital and tech ecosystems. This article details their achievements, challenges, and audacious plans to build a more equitable digital future for everybody.


    Under the umbrella of the URBACT TechDiversity network, eight cities confront a key question: How can they facilitate inclusive, innovative, and resilient tech digital economies that serve all residents—not just a privileged few?
