Generazione 0 (Italy)

"Generazione Zero" is a cultural, journalistic, and social association founded on May 21, 2012, in Ragusa, Sicily, Italy, defining itself as a collective project driven by young people committed to social change and the creation of a more conscious and equitable future. This non-profit organization emerged as the evolution of an online journalism initiative launched in 2011, funded by the European Union through the "Youth in Action" program, and has established itself as an independent platform that blends the rigor of critical journalism with civic activism. Its core mission lies in giving a voice to the concerns of younger generations, addressing issues ranging from social justice and human rights to environmental protection and the fight against organized crime, with a particular focus on the context of southern Italy and its structural challenges.

Formally established as a social promotion association, "Generazione Zero" goes beyond being merely a media outlet, presenting itself as a space for reflection, action, and resistance against misinformation, apathy, and inequalities. Its team, primarily composed of volunteers—journalists, students, artists, and activists—works to produce content that not only informs but also inspires the community to actively engage in public life. Among its foundational goals are the promotion of legality, the denunciation of injustices, and the building of bridges between citizens and institutions, all framed within a critical perspective on contemporary reality. From its base in Ragusa, the organization extends its influence regionally, nationally, and even internationally, thanks to collaborations with entities such as "Libera" and projects supported by European programs.

The organization has developed various projects in the educational and social fields, working to empower youth through cultural initiatives. In From Past to Future, Generazione 0 brings its experience in the design of non-formal training activities and in the implementation of participatory methodologies, ensuring that young people become active actors in the dissemination of heritage.
