Leader: Dugong Srl

Description:
The objective is that of transforming the smartphones minors have always in their pockets in a sort of diary to be used inside and outside the reception center, in their relations with colleagues, classmates, tutors, teachers, sport coach and, finally, with anyone caring for their integration into the new Community process. All this will be supervised by a team of professionals in the sectors of cinema and communication capable of supplying them with the tools needed to master the use of a smartphone, which is today a true “gravity center” of the life of every youth, but which can play a major role for unaccompanied refugee minors, since it is the only tool that keeps them in contact with their homeland, with their relatives and with the past.
