A free summer program fighting educational poverty

During the summer break, the suspension of school activities often leads to a significant reduction in educational and social opportunities for children and young teenagers. Middle school students in particular are frequently underserved by summer educational programs, often due to costs that many families cannot afford. That’s why Specchio Summer Hub was created.

Located in the heart of the Borgo Filadelfia district in Turin, the Hub offers a free summer program combining education, fun, and culture for boys and girls from socially and economically vulnerable backgrounds.

Our Mission

We want to offer young people a place where they can feel safe, inspired, and encouraged to grow. Throughout the summer months, Specchio Summer Hub becomes a key social and educational space to:

  • Combat isolation and encourage social interaction among peers.
  • Expand learning opportunities through creative and cultural workshops.
  • Foster personal growth and independence by helping young people discover their talents and interests.

Workshops & Activities

The heart of Specchio Summer Hub lies in its high-quality themed workshops, developed together with outstanding partners:

  • Music: participants can explore their musical talent thanks to the collaboration with Hiroshima Mon Amour, which provides spaces and expert instructors.
  • Sports: physical activity and teamwork are promoted through partnerships with CH4 Sporting Club and Piscina La Torrazza, supported by dedicated sports educators.
  • Culture: through the “La Bella Stagione” initiative by Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, the Hub gains access to a network of museums and cultural initiatives across the region.
  • Education: the project’s educational supervision is entrusted to ASAI, the Hub’s pedagogical partner.

Over 50 Years of Commitment

Specchio dei tempi was founded in 1955 and officially became a foundation in 1976. For over fifty years, we have been supporting communities across Northwest Italy, responding to crises and developing long-term educational and social initiatives.

Specchio Summer Hub is our concrete response to today’s educational challenges: an investment in the growth, wellbeing, and future of the next generation.
