At the School of OpenCoesion (ASOC) is an innovative educational programme aimed at promoting and developing principles of active and aware citizenship in Italian schools, by means of research and civic monitoring of European and national public funding. ASOC was launched in 2013 as an integral part of OpenCoesione and it is being implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the European Commission Representation in Italy.

Starting from the first edition, the edutaional programme was addressed at students of the upper secondary schools all over the Italian territory. During the school year 2019-2020 edition the first European ASOC pilot action - International Initiative ASOC EU - At the School of OpenCohesion was carried out, with the support of the DG Regio - European Commission and the involvement of Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Portugal and Spain.

In the school year 2020-2021 edition, on the other hand, lower secondary schools have also been engaged with the ASOC model for the first time. The edition 2021-2022 saw the launching of the pilot action with the selection of the projects financed by the ETC - European Territorial Cooperation Programmes aiming at the involvement of the upper high schools in Italy and in other European countries that jointly monitor the same project.
The information and other details contained within the interactive infographic are available on the website of At the School of OpenCoesion. 

Following the results of international pilot actions and the application of the ASOC model to lower secondary schools, 3 new educational paths have been added to the traditional didactic programme aimed at Italian high schools.

Starting from the 2022-2023 school year, therefore, the active educational programme strands are the following:

• ASOC High Schools

• ASOC Middle Schools

• ASOC in English 

• ASOC ETC - European Territorial Cooperation

Further information, additional details and all the ASOC numbers are contained in the infographic which is available on At the School of OpenCoesione website.
