CONSORZIO SOCIALE IL FILO DA TESSERE

Reshape Project

10 YEARS

2015-2024

IN PROGRESS

Launched in 2015, Reshape is one of their education and training projects for young people, a concrete response to their difficulties in finding work. It helps them navigate a continually changing labor market and avoid the risk of social exclusion and becoming NEET (not in Education, Employment or Training), a condition in which they can’t even imagine a future for themselves in the Biella area. Thanks to Reshape, young people can make educational and occupational choices for themselves and feel stronger and readier for the world surrounding them. Reshape the 17 to 29 age bracket.

THE PARTNER

CONSORZIO SOCIALE IL FILO DA TESSERE

The origins of a common vision for the territory Reshape is the product of collaboration between Fondazione Zegna and Consorzio Sociale il Filo da Tessere in Biella. Their shared values and determination to, in the words of Ermenegildo Zegna, ‘Look beyond the Horizon’ in the pursuit of wellbeing, employment and respect for the individual have led to projects that could not exist without a sense of community.
The works of entrepreneur and philanthropist Ermenegildo Zegna, for whom the quality and beauty of products went hand in hand with social wellbeing, the cultural development of the local community and the safeguarding and promotion of the environment, have been carried forward by Fondazione Zegna, which has found an ideal partner in Consorzio Sociale il Filo da Tessere. The consortium’s mission is to help communities grow into a more inclusive society. The Foundation and the Consortium have experienced a sort of positive contamination between an entrepreneurial organization and a social one, their collaboration enabling “the former to become more social and the latter more enterprising” in their sharing of objectives and projects centering on ethical/responsible development of the territory in which they operate.
