The Early School Leaving (ESL) is a multi-problematic and multi-dimensional phenomenon, on which the European Union has focused its attention for years, because the ESL is cause and effect of situations of marginality and social and labour exclusion. This article presents the results of the first phase of the "Below 10" Erasmus Plus project, implemented in the Italian areas of Cuneo and Verona. Through the analysis of the factors that lead to ESL and of the solutions to combat it, identified and suggested by key informants interviewed into the two territories, this article aims to propose indications for the creation of local practices and policies for fight the ESL, thought as a community work, that in the medium and long run could also foster positive paths of work and social inclusion.

Keywords: Early school leaving (ESL); social inclusion; labour inclusion; community work; provincial territories.
