The map of a city that is growing young

The Squares for Europe

The routes

Parma EYC2027 is an open project. It is not a calendar. It is a movement. 12 pathways taking shape during the year: 4 Ways tracing the directions, 8 Squares where the themes become concrete.

The Squares for Europe

The 4 ways

4 directions guide the path. The Ways of Transformation open the thematic cycles and focus on priorities: participation, well-being, sustainability, and the conviviality of differences.

The Squares for Europe

The 8 squares

From vision to action. 8 thematic Squares become active spaces, hubs for discussion, and an intergenerational laboratory to build the city model for young people.
