Comune di Polpenazze del Garda

The Municipality of Polpenazze is very experienced in youth work as far as environmental and nutrition activities are concerned as we are are carrying out a KA1 project about the importance of healthy nutrition and diet, Better Food for Better Life.  Therefore AgriLab is the the follow up of Better Food for Better Life, to widen the path and create a bigger community for a larger dissemination and involvement of stakeholders on different levels. The Municipality is also very much involved in the issue of sustainable agriculture. Every year, during the last weekend of July, Polpenazze celebrates the BIOFESTA, an event to celebrate and disseminate bio-agricolture and and bio-food as well as sustainable agriculture.  Also, every year in mid-August Polpenazze celebrates youth with the youth day.
Further on, Polpenazze has been engaged for a long time in actions to promote the protection of women against violence, by raising awareness of citizens, in particularly young people.
On the occasion of November 25th, International Day for the fight of Violence Against Women, every year the city administration of Polpenazze promotes and disseminates initiatives of reflection directed to combat gender violence, in collaboration with the local women's associations and the Province of Brescia.
Last year, in the occasion of the International Day against Violence against women, the municipality of Polpenazze del Garda in collaboration with the Union of Municipalities of Valtennesi and the Office of the Provincial Councilor for Equality invited citizens and schools to the showing of the video documentary "Talk to him," the Director Elizabeth France, which was held on November 25th, 2014 at 20.30 at the Multipurpose Hall (c / or schools).
The initiative received excellent feedback which saw the participation of schools and citizens during those moments of reflection.
The town of Polpenazze joined the National Campaign "Busy place" launched at regional level by the Councilor for Equality and during the evening, a chair was symbolically reserved the image of "Busy place" in memory of the women victims of gender violence.
In the management of this area of intervention the municipality of Polpenazze works through the synergy and integration of most professions, most operators and employees; this integrates with performance and education, health and psychological, as well as activities of the areas for training policies and work. The service works with various public and private institutions and organizations of the third sector in the context of subsidiarity. This network of expertise will be made available for the project AgriLab in order to ensure the best possible results.  The municipality of Polpenazze is also involved as affiliated partner  (no budget) in two previous projects 4WOMEN and 4WOMEN2 which developed a trans-national network for the fight of VAW more on a policy level, business training for women victims of violence to help them re-integrate in the society and training for social workers specifically working with women victims of violence.
To promote greater opportunities for young people in the area (both the young residents in the municipality of Polpenazze and young people throughout the Valtennesi) the City of Polpenazze joined in January 2015 the National Eurodesk network, hosting an internal service of Antenna Territorial Eurodesks (ATE).
