ABF GlobaLab New Spaces

The renovation project of the San Firenze building is an operational condition for the development of the ABF Globalab educational programme: a container of projects in the field of school, career and vocational guidance characterised by the adoption of a practical-experiential methodology, which is embodied in training opportunities and experiences essentially in the form of workshops and of an interactive-cooperative nature, aimed at empowering and guiding subjects in the broadest and most meaningful sense.

ABF Globalab: an educational programme designed to combat school drop-out rates

Within the context of this agreement, GlobaLab is an empowerment programme aimed at young people between the age of 16 and 25 in the two segments 16-19 and 19-25. The basis is a proposal for scholastic-orientation and not - which is rooted in a deep bond between the quality of individual existence and the need to enhance and strengthen opportunities for relationships, experimentation and reflection that focus on research, the discovery and care of one’s own talents and intelligence as well as that of others.
