"The project Spyglass involved 16 municipalities in the province of Vicenza (North east of Italy) where the economic and social context, though affected by the market crisis, is still favored by an industrial dimension in continuous renewal that has encouraged the growth of a multi-ethnic society and stimulated the development of the third sector, particularly within social policies: there are many companies, associations, Cooperatives that deal with voluntary services, active participation, young people. The morphological condition of the territory (geographically closed valleys) and the attention and commitment to the development of the economy have fostered an attitude of independence that is still essential for growth, but would be even more enhanced by network settings, collaborations and discussions on the use of best practices.In this context, the project Spyglass aimed to give a voice to young people who live in the province, rural areas, foothills and decentralized and often do not care or are taking part in participatory processes facilitating the comparison with local administrators to define youth policies in line with the needs of the territories and of our times.The project lasted 20 months; during this period 2 5-days seminars took place and 3 local researches were done. 100 participants have been directly involved in the project, but it had an impact on a wide territory: more than 750 young people contributed to the researches and more than 250 people attended to the collateral activities during the second meeting organized.As outcomes, we activated 2 blogs about youth policies (www.spyglass.cloud and www.politichegiovani.it) and we produced a map of the province, invented by the participants, collecting all the coolest places, events, services among the area. ""Spyglass - The Map"" have been disseminated online and onsite (2500 paper's copies have been distributed)."
