Cooperation with Articolo 3

The EquiLibri project

For the fourth consecutive year, we are supporting the EquiLibri project, through which we take the right to university education beyond bars. Thanks to our collaboration with several Milanese universities, we give people in detention the opportunity to embark on a three-year or Master’s degree programme, continuing to nurture knowledge and aspirations even while in prison.

Each year, we support the university studies of over 90 people and guide a further 100 through guidance and teaching activities. EquiLibri also means dialogue with the outside world: university students enter the prison to share seminars and tutoring experiences, creating connections that go beyond the prison walls.

Impact measurement

EquiLibri is among the projects, within Kaleidos, selected for Impact Measurement – an initiative developed to assign an economic value to the change generated through the social projects we support.

The TAG project

From 2025, we have chosen to extend our commitment by also supporting the TAG project – Advanced Treatment for Young Adults. This project involves more than 170 people in detention and aims to create an innovative unit dedicated to pathways of accountability and personal growth.

With TAG, we want to transform prison life, strengthening reintegration journeys through educational, artistic, sporting and community care activities. A new model, one that sees detention as an opportunity for a fresh start.

Why we support the project

We believe that education and accountability are essential tools for creating second chances. With the EquiLibri project and the TAG project, we renew our commitment to people and communities, helping to counter marginalisation and generate social value that lasts over time.

The Article 3 Association

Founded in Milan in 1998, the Cooperativa Sociale Articolo 3 consists of a group of social workers with special skills, interests and experience in the legal, penitentiary and socio-educational fields. In over 20 years of activity, it has designed, implemented and managed numerous actions aimed at promoting social reintegration, working mainly in the area of hardship and marginalisation.
