A project for young workers offering personal support services in Turin libraries on psychological well-being, free specialized counseling, graphology and calligraphy courses

“Smart-Out” is a project dedicated to young workers in Turin between the ages of 25 and 35, with the goal of transforming libraries into spaces for personal and professional support and growth. The libraries are proposed as hubs of well-being and training, consistent with the mission of Turin's Civic Libraries to provide inclusive and accessible spaces for the improvement of individual and collective well-being. 

In collaboration with the Hapax Foundation, the project provides accessible psychological support through group meetings, addressing the growing need for emotional well-being. In addition, “Smart-Out” enhances libraries as strategic resources for free specialized financial and legal counseling, helping young people manage the challenges of daily life.

The offerings also include courses in graphology and calligraphy, which promote the rediscovery of handwriting as a tool for expression and improvement of cognitive skills. Through an effective digital communication strategy, including social media and poster campaigns, the project aims to intercept the youth target audience and strengthen the role of libraries as spaces of reference and inclusion for the Turin community.

 

The project in Innovation and Digital Production for Culture proposes to explore new tools and approaches to narrate libraries, using digital to engage the public. A reflection on the recipients and objectives of communication to define the content and engagement mechanisms, such as gamification, to be integrated into the production of digital content
