The EYP programme provide a process used by youth workers, social workers, teachers to support young uemployed people – NEETs specifically – in their personal development path, while activating the local community in being a real and concrete support to the process. In this way, not only the disadvantag
ed youth can get in touch with society and being empowered from it, but the whole community can be better organize as they increase their communication exchange.
SGAG (Skill Generator Assessment Game) is an educational project carried out by the international partnership of six organisations. The aim of the project is to support the process of building soft skills among the students of vocational schools, which would increase their chances to find employment upon graduation. In order to attain this goal, the e-learning course will be developed and accompanied by the educational online game that will allow to develop their time management, communication, team work or problem solving skills.
What we do
Aregai helps its members in planing and co-creating sustainable products and services, using the tools the association make available, the LICET® model, to name one. Valuing members’ quality, abilities, identities and talents in a more responsible market, with LICET® is possible.
Local development
We started working on integrated local development projects involving 25 municipalities in an area called Monferrato (around the Alessandria Province, Piedmont region). This experience allowed us to elaborate and standardize collaborative and local development methodologies based on active local stakeholder engagement.
LICET®
We define LICET® as a sustainable and participated development system to support our mission to create sustainable wealth and well-being on the territory. The model presents practical and easy to use tools to plan and manage common activities and projects. The model when applied by local communities, organizations, citizens and public and private actors offers the opportunity to build sustainable development plans, assigning each member a specific function and role to accomplish with the common goals, respecting economic, social and environmental parameters. The whole process is based on participation and collaboration, to respond to collective needs and most of all recognizing and valorising each member efforts.
LICET® is based on a four-step quality model (PDCA – Plan, Do, Check, Act) but re-elaborated them in a more cooperative way:
- Share sustainability values and culture – To satisfy the need for a quality life for people and territory
- Measure behaviours – to value commitment for improvement and sustainable attitude
- Communicate – With a clear and easy way to organize topics and tasks, so they are eaiser to be assigned, discussed and measured
- Grow sharing resources, knowledge and experiences – To obtain together wide sustainable development practices
Using LICET® can help to improve your approach:
- Enter in relation with people working in different areas and sectors speaking a common language and sharing the same growth and sustainable development objectives
- Differentiate themselves from competitors valuing value identities and talents within an organization, avoiding lowering prices to be selected by costumers
- Establish a clear communication channel with costumers and support mutual trust
- Generate profits and returns for all, creating a collaborative growth program that allows participation and collaboration of all actors involved.
LICET® requires a balancing of the trade-offs of the various determinants of well-being, grouped together in 5 LICET® values. The initials of these values form the Latin word “licet”, meaning “it is possible!”
- LINK WITH HISTORY AND TERRITORY, ability to appreciate the history and culture and to be proactive in economic and social development of the local community.
- INNOVATION AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, ability to develop in a sustainable way with passion, skill and creativity.
- COMPETITIVENESS AND FAIRNESS, ability to manage resources effectively and efficiently, correctly and determined to achieve shared goals
- ECO-SUSTAINABILITY: balanced management of environmental aspects, by reducing the negative impacts and increase opportunities for development.
- TUTELAGE: capacity to produce in an ethical, safe, healthy way and ability to respond to the needs of people.
With LICET®, companies have a clear measurement and communication system that allows them to understand their own performance, improve their perception and use it to promote themselves.The measurement criteria are the results of ten years of applied research. These criteria translate the complexity of sustainability scientific criteria in real-life situations that can be understood and applied by everyone.
