i GIOvani COntano Nelle Decisioni
su Ambiente e Salute
Young citizens count in the decisions on environment and health
GIOCONDA is a project that helps young people becoming protagonists in democratic action, building a dialogue on environment and health between schools and local authorities
The ideas of the young citizens
on environment and health
The scientific monitoring
of air and noise quality
A decision support system
based on measured data
When young citizens produce recommendations for the administrators, they start putting themselves in their shoes and they understand the importance of taking part in public affairs.
The students give suggestions that should not fall on deaf ears. Administrators must give concrete answers, specifying what can be done.
When I listened to the students’ recommendations, I understood that we have to improve our communication. Several things that have been recommended are already done but they are not known, so we need to develop a different strategy.
