All proposals must be submitted by August 10, 2011. The initiative is promoted by the UniCredit Foundation, in collaboration with the Euclid Network and Project Ahead.
An international jury will select the most innovative idea in each category. The award consists of €10,000 donated by the Unicredit Foundation. The best projects will be carefully evaluated in terms of their feasibility and future implementation.
The innovators will have to address six issues:
- transforming real estate or other goods confiscated from the Camorra (local mafia) into a social enterprise that will produce economic and social benefits for the local community (together with the Libera Association);
- opening an archaeological site to the public and ensuring its sustainable management (together with GAN, the Neapolitan Archaeological Group);
- developing a new managerial model for a volunteer organization addressing extreme poverty (together with the Gioco, Immagini e Parole Association);
- promoting the scholastic re-insertion of minors that have abandoned school (together with the Maestri di Strada Association);
- promoting the social inclusion of the Roma population of Scampia (together with Caritas Napoli);
- implementing an innovative methodology for recovering unused goods and waste products (together with the Ambiente Solidale Association);
