The Prize

A funding grant to save a vocational sector.

The pandemic has brought an unexpected crisis to many of San Patrignano's over 30 vocational sectors. This is a bleak picture particularly in areas in which services generated an important income for the community. In order to avoid permanent closure of some of the oldest workshops and, consequently, the loss of traditional techinques and the handing down of skills, the aim is to help them to survive during this difficult period through the provision of funding grants. This is a way to give these facilities enough oxygen and time to carry out any necessary reorganization and plan for starting up again.

A funding grant to save a vocational sector costs € 5.000.

The Cause

The San Patrignano recovery community is a home for youth who have lost their way. It is a family that helps them find a life made up of self-esteem, dignity, responsibility and enthusiasm.

Since 1978 it has been and continues to be unique and the best at the European level, focusing on it's residents and helping them learn a trade that can be applied, and assisted from external support through online donations.

The San Patrignano community is alive with the help and support of those who have already had similar life experiences—those who understand the difficulties, hardships and exclusions. The community reconstructs the identity of people by strengthening the values of honesty, commitment, respect for themselves and for others, solidarity and interpersonal skills.

The community of recovery from drug dependency is also a commitment to a better society through various prevention projects: specific activities in schools and international events battling addiction.
