The commitment to promote a culture and practices of widespread legality in areas at greater risk of social exclusion and with a low level of legality, must be supported also by interventions of high symbolic value with respect to the re-appropriation of spaces and their functionalization for social activities, creative and cultural production, youth aggregation and integration between generations.

Examples of activities to be carried out that contribute to this specific objective are closely linked to Actions eligible for ESF funding under the same Axis and the same Specific Objective:
