The Association's statutory aim is to raise awareness and coordinate its members in addressing local issues. It serves as a key interlocutor between the Salesian world, local authorities, and other organisations with similar goals.
AGS per il Territorio has developed significant expertise in the field of social policies. This includes skills and professionalism gained from both developing and implementing its own projects and managing educational services for young people in collaboration with local authorities.
Spazio Labs, a program through which the association won a grant via the EduFund Platform, targets young people aged 15 to 19 who are at risk of or have already dropped out of the school system. Its goal is to reduce social exclusion and foster their reintegration through innovative educational tools and psycho-educational support.
Implemented in two neighborhoods of Turin, the program offers pathways of varying intensity: year-long programs for school or work reintegration, workshops for at-risk groups, and extracurricular activities for prevention and support. The initiatives, led by educators, psychologists, teachers, and company tutors, actively involve families and local communities. The project also aims to develop a scalable and sustainable educational model, supported by continuous monitoring and advocacy activities to raise institutional awareness.
Funding for Spazio Labs is part of a long-standing partnership established with AGS over the years, which also led to the creation of another project, Maker Lab, completed in 2025.
