The dedication to youth development is commendable, and 40 years is a long run. But are these programs genuinely preparing youth for the competitive modern world, or just offering basic recreation?
Leonardo
Are they truly adapting, or just recycling old programs? I'm skeptical.

Monaco is already so wealthy. This seems like a performative gesture more than a necessity.

It's great to see a youth center last 40 years and provide a safe space. However, one wonders if its reach extends beyond a certain demographic within Monaco.
