INTER CAMPUS RESEARCH ON SOCIAL IMPACT

This is the question that guides Inter Campus’ intervention every day, as it operates in difficult settings to support the social needs of thousands of young participants all over the world. The answer is clear for all to see, not only for Nerazzurri supporters, but for sports fans in general. And it is a positive one. For years, however, Inter Campus has been working on the analysis of results to further understand how to remain close to the real needs of boys and girls, giving a concrete value to change. It is not easy to evaluate the impact when the objectives are intangible and the beneficiaries are so numerous.

For this reason, six sample projects have been identified—Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Colombia, Israel and Palestine, and Mexico—representing a universe of 30 countries and many cultures, languages, and religions. The research, which started from a common framework, was then tailored to the specific context: education, encouraging dialogue in divided societies, and preventing substance consumption. Both adults and children involved in the data collection expressed their opinions, delving into the specifics of their lived experiences and offering us many confirmations on one hand, and many new insights on the other.

On Wednesday, December 1, the official data will be presented at the University Centre for Human Rights at the University of Padua, the research partner.
