URBE  The project 'Urbe' is aimed at minors, within the entire territory of the City of Rome, coming from extreme poverty reported by municipalities, unaccompanied minors in residential, nomadic children and children involved in the criminal circuit. rn The constituent element of the project is the provision of the "care package", ie the assignment of goods or services useful to oppose, where possible, the causes related to poverty and the potential risk factors associated with further impoverishment. rn The identification of the contents of the 'care package' is therefore essential. It must be congruent with what are the problems and resources of the child taken into care (and his/her family, if any), and functional for help leaving the situation of marginalization. It must therefore be deeply understood and shared in the first place by the recipient, but also on the social network, and the acquisition of skills aiming towards autonomy. rn One of the first criteria that is followed for the delivery of the 'care package' is to take care of cases where a realistic chance of developmen is inferred: great relevance is given for this reason the reading and the analysis of the condition of poverty with regard to the minor, trying to understand how this can be an obstacle for his/her development; then one can think of interventions that are congruent with those of hie/her problems and resources. rn

rn Italian minors and non-accompanied foreign minorss who face poverty and extreme poverty. rn
rn METHOD OF FINANCING rn Funded by the Lazio region - Regional Directorate for Social Policies, Autonomies, Safety and Sport, the project is implemented in partnership with the cooperatives Il Cammino, Parsec, Ermes and Eureka I. rn The project started its operations in August 2014 and will conclude in August 2015. rn
rn AREA OF INTERVENTION rn City of Rome rn
rn BRIEF HISTORY rn In the light of new changes in the social and economic system in Italy, which show that today the risk of falling into poverty is very strong, the project implements the answer that the Parsec Cooperative provides to people with greater social fragility. rn On a more complex level, it is important to compare the different factors that lead to exclusion, by reference to the concept of "social vulnerability", as provided in the event of "unforeseen or sudden difficulties", he/she slides towards progressive paths of economic and relational impoverishment, to irreversibly affect a person's capacity for social, physical and mental survival. rn Concepts such as weakness or discomfort allow us to have a more dynamic approach to poverty, enabling us to look to the interventions with a view not only to restoring social emergencies, but also, in some way proactive, in constructing a support network and an empowerment of the individual subject. rn
rn OBJECTIVES rn The overall objective is the articulation of pathways needed for the release from poverty. rn The project aims to deliver a total of at least 42 care packages (the maximum value of 2.000,00 euro each). rn Short term goals: rn

His/her task is to support and monitor the individual project and check the status of achievement of the objectives, also putting special care into the existing network and the projects already underway, with the aim of creating shared, consistent and measurable interventions.
