[:it]Arcigay si occupa da sempre di politiche giovanili attraverso la rete dei gruppi giovani di Arcigay Giovani: dà voce e rappresentanza a* giovani LGBTQIA+ under 28. Chi è giovane ha un rischio di esclusione specifico, dovuto al difficile rapporto tra autonomia e integrazione sociale, alla fragile transizione dalla scuola al lavoro e alla ridotta partecipazione come cittadin* attiv*. Alle sfide della condizione giovanile si sovrappone il rischio dell’omo-lesbo-bi-transfobia e del “minority stress”: nella scuola, in famiglia, tra i pari. È per rispondere a questa sfida che Arcigay lavora molto sull’incontro tra giovani: la ricostruzione delle proprie reti amicali e dei pari passa anche per la ricerca di luoghi in cui finalmente essere se stess* con altr* della propria età (Gruppi Giovani, Agorà, YouthPrideCamp, Macroaree). Arcigay, sia a livello locale sia a livello nazionale, crea uno spazio d’incontro, di supporto e di cittadinanza per i/le/* giovani dell’associazione e porta la specificità LGBTQIA+ nel mondo giovanile, universitario e delle politiche giovanili in generale.[:en]Arcigay has always been working on youth policies through Arcigay Giovani: our network of youth groups giving voice and representation to LGBTI people under 28. As we know, younger people have a higher risk of exclusion, due to the difficulties of reaching a balance between independence and social integration, but also because of the delicate transition from school to workplace and the reduced participation as active citizens. These challenges, typical of that age, are complicated by the risk of homophobic and transphobic events, and by minority stress: at school, at home, among peers. In order to face these challenges, Arcigay works hard on creating opportunities to meet among younger people: building a network of friendships can also be achieved by finding places where being oneself among peers, such as Youth Groups, Agora meetings and YouthCamp vacations. Arcigay, both locally and nationally, offers several opportunities to meet other people, create one’s identity within a group and generally being supported.
