We make institutions more participative, diverse and accessible, supporting under - 30s and marginalised people to enter politics as strong movements, not as individuals.
Building together a new generation of changemakers in Italian politics.
When grassroots groups lack strategy, skills and resources. When young changemakers face isolation and burnout. If institutional actors refuse to collaborate with social movements. When systemic barriers, disconnected movements and wasted potential exist - we need Fantapolitica!
Two paths. One objective: political power from the bottom up.
First path: Fantaconnessioni
With Fantaconnessioni we support civil society groups rooted in social justice to develop strategy, skills and institutional relationships. We help local movements move from activism to political impact.
Fantaconnessioni focuses on under-represented people and marginalized areas: - Economically marginalised cities - Women and gender minorities - Racialized people and migrants - Working-class youth - Communities affected by environmental injustice and organized crime - Rural areas, Southern Italy, islands and inland areas
Second path: from community leader to elected candidate
We accompany emerging community leaders on their journey into party politics.
Thanks to our national network, our Fantacandidates train, share experiences and learn to build shared and winning campaigns.
After the election we manage the only Italian platform for young progressive local councillors to share political ideas, engage in collective strategy with the movement, exchange tools for community-led governance.
25 candidates that we supported are now elected local councillors.
We are walking toward making this vision real
Fantapolitica! promotes inclusive and democratic politics, develops innovative campaign methods, strengthens digital skills and builds collective strategies to build power.
And we’ve already achieved a great deal
Over 70 candidates supported in 18 regions. 25 councillors elected. Over 90 groups involved. A network reaching 60 Italian cities.
Walk with us towards an Italy made only of Fantapolitica!
