Missio

n

Giovani alla frontiera is a project working as a container of concrete and possible utopia which aim is to call young people and give them space to express their universalistic creativity beyond any frontier. That process will be possible through their involvement and the capacity of the actors to create a “system” in this trans-border area whose ambition is to become an “Euroregion”; that is a place where Latin, German, and Slave culture meet and melt each other.


The idea has risen from the awareness that the historical frontiers between Italy and Slovenia, which has always lain between the Western and the Eastern civilization, wouldn’t lasted for ever.

This will be an opportunity to create a permanent multicultural laboratory to make an advanced development pattern.

Locatio

nGiovani alla Frontiera is a series of events that arise from the idea of frontier. That idea is being slowly eliminated by Europe’s will to promote borderland culture, art, social life history and resources. Euroregions are nowadays one of the most discussed topic, interesting not only for the European Commission but also for many States and Institutions such as Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.

The GECT Known as European Group of Trans-border Cooperation, with legal status are a concrete way to build or to rebuild economical, socio-cultural and educational links between communities and people who were previously divided.

The Province of Gorizia anticipates these positive political trends trying to build, through bilateral and sectorial treaty agreements, concrete means for transborder relations. Isontina’s Bioregion is made up of all the municipalities belonging to the Isonzo’s river basin: 25 municipalities of the Province of Gorizia and 13 municipalities of the Republic of Slovenia.
