A special day with Amélie
Amélie is a lively and cheerful little girl whose insatiable curiosity leads us to discover the Pregassona neighbourhood, where she lives with her mum, dad and little brother.
Amélie explores the world with enchanted eyes, loves nature and enjoys playing with the friends she meets on her path.
She always has a good word for everyone and her joy and kindness manage to infect everyone. Page after page, encounter after encounter, with her fresh and surprising look she reminds us how important it is to respect the world around us and appreciate even the small joys in life. Together with Amélie we discover the Centre that bears her name, a magical place where people play, have fun and learn new things, where adults and children meet and grow together.
Through the pages of this book you accompany Amélie on a day that she knows how to make special, turning the simple exploration of her surroundings into an exciting adventure. Amélie's world is waiting for you! The proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the Amélie Association and will be used to support its projects and activities.

Social laboratory
In 2019, the "Social and Integration Laboratory" of Pregassona was established, with the aim of upgrading and activating the creation and networking of services, the initiation and accompaniment of micro-projects and activities in favour of integration and social cohesion in the Via Industria area.
Playground
The 'Laboratorio' accompanied, in close contact with the neighbourhood commission, the redevelopment project for the Via Industria playground, aimed at the entire population and for all ages, which includes: two new synthetic football pitches for children and youths, new flooring for the basketball court, the addition of games for younger children, and an area dedicated to shared vegetable gardens.
Socialisation centre
The socialisation centre, which has found its home in Via Ceresio, is an important part of the 'Workshop'. Various spaces have been created to accommodate children 12 to 24 months, workshop, playroom, youth space, gymnastics and yoga activities, and reception area. The playgroup is intended as a space for socialising and not a place for the children to stop every day.
