The restoration of Cascina Serassi aimed to create a new socio-educational center for children in the city of Bergamo: the Hub for Kids. This intervention is part of the actions outlined in the UIA-2018 (Urban Innovative Actions) program, of which the municipality of Bergamo was a recipient thanks to the CAPACITyES project, Children Against Poverty Awake the CITy Education System. The main goal of the CAPACITyES initiative is to combat and alleviate urban poverty by offering an innovative solution to issues such as a lack of housing, educational poverty among children, and spatial segregation. The Cascina now houses the HubforKids, consisting of the restored Cascina and completed by external areas that feature a recreational space for play and urban gardens designed to provide formative and educational functions for the children attending the center.
