A few days from the start of Phase 2, the Government is working to define the guidelines dedicated tochildhood. They are of vital importance because they should allow for the recovery of that to a large extent sociality which failed in the long quarantine period. Sociality which in the specific case will be guaranteed by one programming of outdoor activities - to always be carried out in line with the indications of the technical-scientific committee (which naturally invite the maximum caution).
In Phase Two they certainly do caution e responsibility. In their careful respect, the aforementioned outdoor activities will already be possible in the coming weeks.
Objective of the Minister of Education Lucia Azzolina - in the light of the meeting convened by the Minister for Equal Opportunities and the Family, Elena Bonetti, attended by the Minister of Labor Nunzia Catalfo, the Minister for Youth Policies and Sport Vincenzo Spadafora, the Undersecretary for Health Sandra Zampa and the representatives of Regions, Municipalities and Provinces - is to offer a "concrete hand" to families: a "breath of fresh air" in view of the recovery working.
The great (and appreciated) novelty will concern the summer camps, a saving institution that has always taken care of children after school is over, while mothers and fathers continue to work.
It is indeed expected that they will be made available courtyards e gardens schools for carrying out recreational and educational activities aimed at children, and even before the (ideal) end of the lessons. Activities that for this first phase will be entrusted to highly specialised external. For obvious reasons, schools engaged in construction and improvement works in view of September must be excluded. To implement the project, very strict health protocols will be required that respect the regulations with the utmost attention measures di distancing.
During the meeting between the ministers, the role that sociality plays in the development of the child was stressed several times: an essential condition for promoting well-being psychophysical, and therefore health in general. Being with peers in open spaces and doing physical activity is vital for the development of the human and social dimension.
This is the main reason why already from the next 4st May, in collaboration with local authorities and even before the canonical dates of the summer centers, it will be possible to offer families this preview of an outlet for children and young people (and also for mothers and fathers, in a certain coveted sense): a first official protocol which will allow them to work in open and accessible spaces - naturally in small contingent groups.
The hypothesis of expanding the resources in favor of local authorities and families precisely for the consolidation of educational services. Finally, the immediately subsequent document should provide for the indications applicable from the month of June in reference to the activities of the real summer camps. They will be managed in collaboration with sports organizations, the third sector and local authorities. All protagonists in some way of the recovery and of a necessary response of proximity to the needs of families. In this sense they will be made available by the Ministry of the Family resources Additional which can be increased at a later time according to the needs that will emerge.
It goes without saying that all measures cited, from those deliberated to those in the elaboration phase, will always be put in place under the careful protection of the technical-scientific committee.
