Youth Information Day in Turin (Italy) celebrates “Digi.TO”
Digi.TO (www.digi.to.it) is the web community of Turin Youth Information Centre: working since November 2007, it was born in partnership with www.lastampa.it, the website of Turin national daily newspaper.
Digi.TO addresses to young people between 18 and 30 years old and has been created to satisfy their need to seek on the Internet information related to the city they live: it aims to become an interactive tool, in order to make circulate information, knowledge and opportunities among youth.
These aims are reached through different actions and ways:
Information among young people: an editorial staff of 13 boys and girls between 20 and 25, who have to give to the website the main contents, favour and moderate interaction, guarantee participation and security of users, who can insert news, notices, comments and appointments.
Partner network: since its birth, Digi.TO had the partnership of more than 50 associations working with youth, interest to create actions and projects that have a true spin-off for territory. This work of promotion also involves the web, thanks to the privileged partnership with lastampa.it and with Turin websites about city life or particular cultural and social aspects.
Interactive website: Digi.TO structure is build to be completely interactive. The base metaphor is the “digital city”: the various sections correspond to real spots of Turin. The Municipio (City Hall) contains articles about topical subjects; Piazza San Carlo (San Carlo Square) is the multimedia area; in Piazza Castello (Castle Square) there are the projects partners; Informagiovani (Youth Information Office) is a notice board; Murazzi (the name of a Turin club district) contains appointments; at last the Anagrafe (General Registry Office) is where users can subscribe.
