ICARE: the first quarter of frontal lessons
Rome, December 16, 2024 The first quarter of frontal lessons provided by the Creasys Youth Foundation to the young students of the Engim San Paolo Professional Institute in Rome is coming to an end. The training modules were tailored for the students and focused on macro-topics such as: Communication and Relationship, Know Yourself and Your Value, Innate Talent and Leadership, The Value of Work and Knowing How to Work in a Team; How to Write an Effective Resume. Through workshops and brainstorming, we worked with the students with the aim of inspiring and stimulating their imagination and proactivity. A beginning of a path aimed at developing job & life skills that will be crucial to increasingly acquire awareness of their potential and unexpressed qualities, important both in social and professional life. Our presence in the classroom saw us not as mere teachers, but as witnesses of life and work experiences that we have transmitted (and will continue to transmit) to those who are entering the professional world for the first time. An important aspect of this first quarter with the students was care. Not to play with the name of the project (ICARE), but for the awareness of how much mutual knowledge between tutor and class and the empathy to be cultivated with constancy contribute to active participation in lessons and above all to tangible growth that students and coaches achieve and will achieve together.

Workshop on Emotional Leadership. How to Participate in Change
Mola di Bari, December 2, 2023 The Creasys Youth Foundation ETS, in collaboration with the Ala di Riserva Association and the White Night of Youth in Mola di Bari, presents the first edition of “How to Participate in Change. Workshop on Emotional Leadership”. The workshop, sponsored by the Municipality of Mola di Bari, was enthusiastically attended by Mayor Giuseppe Colonna, City Councilor Pietro Sportelli, and Dr. Andrea Pizzicaroli, trainer and communication consultant, founder and President of the European Institute Third Millennium since 2003. The seminar involved experts in leadership, communication, and project management, and was aimed at young people aged 18 to 35, with the desire to challenge themselves to face work and life challenges in this era of artificial intelligence. The focus of the workshop was emotional leadership, a skill that can be developed over time, a “natural” intelligence, valuable on a human and professional level to achieve effective organizational and entrepreneurial leadership. Forty young participants animated the seminar with interventions, questions, and a great desire to grow as leaders of themselves and a future work team; also fundamental were the testimonies of the professional and personal experience of the representatives of the Municipality of Mola, who with passion, dedication, and determination perform a service work that motivates them daily. A meeting that once again showed us how much young people strive when they believe in a project and want to realize it. Creasys Youth Foundation ETS: Inspire, Innovate, Support!
A New Year for CYF – Bari, Via Dante
The Creasys Youth Foundation adopts innovative strategies to reach young people, together with entrepreneurs driven by the desire to support positive change for personal and professional fulfillment, allowing creative ideas to become real entrepreneurial ventures in a virtuous value chain. For this reason, the Bari office of the Creasys Youth Foundation is located on Via Dante Alighieri, an area easily accessible from Bari Centrale station and the heart of the city. The Foundation, with its presence in the territory, has established active collaborations with excellent academic training institutions such as the University of Bari Aldo Moro (participating in workshops and events including networking on Circular Bioeconomy at BaLab), and is creating networks with entrepreneurs and local entities in favor of initiatives for young protagonists like the “ZENIT Project – Coordinates for the Future” funded by the Puglia Region (Laboratorio Urbano Officine UFO in Casamassima). CYF also gladly and emotionally accepted the invitation from the Ala di Riserva Association and the Municipality of Mola di Bari to attend the White Night of Youth 2023 event as an expanding non-profit organization with an interesting proposal to share. The Bari office of CYF serves as the link between the Apulian territory and the Rome office, with the goal of making young people feel inspired and comfortable in an environment where they can gain experience and take on challenges to be protagonists not only of their own lives but also of a reality that aims to create connections and relationships within their territory and beyond. CYF stands with young people and supports them starting from opportunities that make a difference!
CYF at the White Night of Youth 2023
Mola di Bari Friday, August 11, 2023 – Emotion, Sharing, Dialogue. These words summarize the meeting between CYF, the young people of the White Night of Youth in Mola di Bari, and the Ala di Riserva Association. The well-known RAI journalist Giacomo Susca hosted the event titled “National Young Person of the Year Award,” guiding us through the presentation of the Creasys Youth Foundation, inaugurated with the viewing of the CYF project video “Generazione Creativa,” which sparked a series of questions from the audience and young people eager to learn about our multifaceted reality. In the presence of Mayor Giuseppe Colonna and Deputy Mayor Angelo Rotolo of the Municipality of Mola di Bari, we witnessed a fruitful debate focusing on the Apulian territory and the opportunities it offers to young people who decide to stay in the South, among prominent representatives of the involved local entities. Among them were the Director of the Economic Development Department of the Puglia Region Gianna Elisa Berlingerio, the Councilor for Kindness and Growth of the Municipality of Pesaro Camilla Murgia, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Castel Bolognese Luca della Godenza. We participated in this evening with emotion, during which the National Young Person of the Year Award was given to the young people of Emilia-Romagna for their courage, willpower, and for creating a true chain of solidarity in a tragic and painful scenario that affected their region not long ago. The award was received by Tommaso Cappelli, a young volunteer who presented a reality in which young people know how to make a difference. Young people are the creators and will be the future mentors of a positive change in today’s society. Together, we can aim high, and only together can we bring life to life, we can Rise from the Impossible, echoing the theme of the White Night of Youth 2023. And this is precisely the spirit of the Creasys Youth Foundation: creating a network to support young people and accompany them on a path of personal and professional growth, to face life’s challenges with the right grit and energy, to continue cultivating values, gaining experience, and becoming witnesses in personal and professional life.
“Tourism and Promotion of the Territory,” CYF at the Job Day in Casamassima
As a guest at the Laboratorio Urbano Officine Ufo of the Municipality of Casamassima (BA), the Creasys Youth Foundation (CYF) was one of the key local entities at the Job Day on “Tourism and Promotion of the Territory” organized by Confesercenti Bari on July 25, 2023. This event was an opportunity to exchange information, ideas, and reflections, and to share a common desire to enhance the Apulian territory through the active participation of young people seeking valuable personal and professional opportunities. In this context, the Creasys Youth Foundation contributed with its project idea aimed at creating a network that amplifies employment opportunities, enhances the territory, and brings a positive social impact. The project “Generazione Creativa” was presented by the President of CYF, Francesca Masanotti. The meeting, attended by representatives of some prominent Apulian entities such as the Expert in Territorial Communication and Marketing Pasqualino Sibilia, the Marketing Manager of the communication and marketing agency Brainpull Francesco Gasparro, the well-known director from Bari Alessandro Piva, and Stefania Mola (an author specialized in cultural tourism), continued with a networking session. This session, guided by TeleBari journalist Gianluca Giugno, outlined some traditions that the Apulian territory preserves as its heritage and that today are fundamental resources and a driving force for tourism. Among History, Art, and Culture, a shared idea of the territory is encouraged, aiming to identify simple but concrete ways and methods to continue fostering a new human and economic culture.
The Changing Work: Women UP
March 8, 2023 Rome. On International Women’s Day, the “Women Up” Workshop was held, dedicated to women who run businesses and are protagonists of change in the field of work, innovation, and digital transition. Among the speakers from both private and institutional realities was the President of the Creasys Youth Foundation, Francesca Masanotti. An intervention in which she spoke about life, choices that shape you, experiences that change you, paths that intertwine, and goals that are achieved. Graduated in Biological Sciences, mother, volunteer with a background that started young in Italy in her reference community, up to intercontinental experiences in Africa and India. It is here that Francesca learned to give her time to listening, dialogue, and full relationship with Indian families and young people. An experience that led Francesca to challenge herself, to make herself known, and to know her most authentic soul. A parenthesis that left an indelible mark that speaks of “colors”, of the quality of people and quality of life. This is the inspiration that contributed to the birth of the Creasys Youth Foundation. A spirit that believes in the value of the person and the relationship, of giving oneself to support the desire to do, to create something “beautiful” for oneself and for one’s community, and of sharing what one has received in one’s personal and professional life; thus the “CREATIVE GENERATION” is born. With CYF… it’s possible! Creasys Youth Foundation ETS: Inspire, Innovate, Support!
