Youth Village and Sport: where encounter becomes experience
There is a place at the Meeting where discovery begins through play, where curiosity becomes knowledge, and where a sporting challenge can turn into friendship. These are the Villaggio Ragazzi Yoga and the Enel Sports Area: two spaces that welcome thousands of young people every year and, through concrete experiences, express the joy of encounter and sharing.
For children and young people, the Meeting is an opportunity to experiment, create and imagine.
The Villaggio Ragazzi is the place where curiosity, creativity and wonder take center stage. Every activity invites participants to look at reality with fresh eyes and to turn discovery into experience. A workshop, a shared story, a creative or scientific journey can open new horizons, spark questions and bring out talents.
Within this world dedicated to younger generations, another deeply educational dimension also finds its place: sport. The Meeting’s Sports Area presents sport as a universal language, capable of bringing different people together through shared values.
A match, a challenge or a training session become opportunities to experience enthusiasm, cooperation and team spirit. On the field, qualities take shape that accompany life itself: commitment, determination, respect and the ability to grow together.
These are places where encounter becomes concrete experience and culture is translated into shared life. Often, everything begins with a game, a new discovery or the joy lighting up a child’s eyes.
How are preparations going? What will be new in 2026? Which experiences should not be missed?
We asked Cecilia and Tommaso directly, the people in charge of the Villaggio Ragazzi and the Sports Area at the 2026 Meeting.
