Handbook-Youth-Lifestyles-Def-Web-22-01-2021-1.Pdf This publication is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Erika Munková, who was the initiator and inspiration for the project “Youth Lifestyles, Deviation and Prevention”. Erika is sorely missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her: youth policy makers and youth work professionals across Slovakia and throughout Europe, and countless young people whose lives she changed for the better.

Youth Lifestyles, Deviance and Prevention - the sharing of good practices and the acquisition of new skills and competences related to the fight against specific problems such as alcohol and drug abuse, unintended mother- hood/ early pregnancies, depression-loneliness/suicides, nutritional disorders, gaming and gambling, bullying and cyber-bullying, delinquent phenomena, dangerous driving, and so on. The Handbook There are currently only a small number of research documents and works such as manuals, kits, brochures, or studies that systematise non-formal education tools for those who work with disoriented young people, to overcome risky behaviour and encourage healthy life- styles. Although proactive methods are often used in the field of prevention, these tend to Limits and Potential lack systemic support within a coherent and well-defined educational framework. We are well aware that we are facing very complex problems whose elaboration and solutions (when possible) require the intervention of highly qualified experts specialized in the medical This Handbook condenses some of the most significant approaches used by five European and psychological field. However, based on the experiences we have gained in working with partner organisations in the field of deviance prevention, as well as some initiatives, activities, young people we are also convinced of the potential and power of non-formal education as working methods and practical tools, essentially based on Non-Formal Education principles, an additional tool for the prevention of deviance. For this reason, this work should be seen as demonstrated during the six phases of the project. a pedagogical tool for educators that will not only integrate with other kinds of educational action aimed at young people at various levels in our society, but also, where necessary, fill The goal of this work is to provide some reference points relating to policies and measures to some of the gaps in current provision. tackle some of the issues faced by the most disadvantaged youth Europe (which we refer to here as “deviance”) and, above all, practical tools for all those who work to promote healthy lifestyles to the younger generations. What has particularly inspired the five partners of Youth Lifestyles, Deviance and Prevention is the shared commitment to improving the living conditions of young people in their own contexts - especially in terms of educational opportunities and the raising of personal aware- ness - in order to prevent them from falling victim to various forms of addictive behaviour and other harmful lifestyles. Overall, this Handbook is intended to be an open access resource for all those who try to avoid the spiral of heavy consequences and negative repercussions that deviance often creates, not only for individual young people but also their peer groups, families and communities. Who this Handbook is for This Handbook is for: this Handbook is intended as a practical resource for youth workers and organisations active in the youth field. It reproduces the various case studies and activities seen and experienced during the 6 phases of the project. The content of the Handbook is therefore a synthesis of the “know-how” gained from the activities and methods that the five partner organizations use in their work with young people. All practice must also be based on a solid theoretical and policy foundation. We have there- fore included definitions of key concepts and brief references to policies and measures to combat youth deviance implemented at national and European level (EU and CoE). Although these are not presented in detail, practitioners are encouraged to find out more from the publications and data produced by the relevant authorities. 6 7 PROJECT ACTIVITIES Project, Phases, Partnership Activity Index Youth Lifestyles, Deviance and Prevention: European Dimension This project has brought together five experienced European partners who operate in very ADDICTIONS and HEALTHY LIFESTYLES different contexts, but who share a common commitment to direct or indirect action to • Unfinished sentences (p. 10) prevent youth deviance (such as addictions and other forms of unhealthy lifestyles) harmful • The Pyramid of Values (p. 12) for the young people’s health and their social relations. • Take a stand for...

Copenhagen Business School, July 2008 Advisor: Susanne Gram Larsen By Ditte Roslyng Tastesen © Ditte Roslyng Tastesen 2008 Acknowledgements When first starting this project in Sicily, I experienced many obstacles, and doubted that I would succeed in completing this project. However, later in the process I was met with the kindness, which Sicilians are known for. Therefore, I would like to thank all of my interview people – they will be named later in the thesis – for taking their time and sharing so honestly their experiences and knowledge with me. Without them, this thesis would not have been possible. Particularly, I would like to thank Salvatore Costantino from University of Palermo for his guidance during my stay in Palermo. I would like to extend my thank you to other people that have crossed my way in Sicily, their openness and willingness to share have been of great use for a complete picture of the situation in Sicily. I would also like to thank Thomas Harder for his guidance in the beginning of the research process, and especially in connection with the mafia. Finally, I would like to thank Susanne Gram Larsen for guiding and encouraging me throughout the process. Her professionalism, knowledge and personal support have been invaluable and have helped me produce a project that I am proud of.

    Fighting the Sicilian mafia through tourism | Travel | The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/may/17/sicily.italy/print De-mob happy After decades of Mafia rule in Sicily, locals are fighting back - and they are asking tourists to help them, by staying in B&Bs, eating in restaurants and shopping in delis that refuse to pay protection money. Stephanie Rafanelli reports Stephanie Rafanelli The Guardian, Saturday May 17 2008 The real good fellas ... Antica Foccaceria San Francesco restaurant, Palermo. Photograph: David Levene It was Sunday lunchtime in Palermo's Piazza San Francesco and the air was thick with charcoal smoke and chatter. A vendor poked an octopus as it roasted on the open grill, releasing a whiff of warm olive oil and lemon that mingled with the city's characteristic scent of brine and dust. A girl carried a tray of sweet cannoli high above her head, navigating stalls of sardine rolls and anchovies frizzling in floury pans. The crowd went about its usual business - church bells chimed and a christening party spilt out of Basilica San Francesco D'Assisi, bobbing the newly baptized bundle as they strolled. But this was no ordinary Sunday market. It was the "Free Sicily" organic food fair, part of a growing and increasingly visible movement run by young Palermitans rebelling against the mafia, or Cosa Nostra, and the stranglehold organised crime has on the Sicilian people. "Whatever you do, DON'T mention the M-A-F-I-A," my northern Italian uncle warned me before my last visit to Sicily - a dusty road trip in a clapped-out Cinquecento in 1993 just after the arrest of the boss of bosses Salvatore Totò Riina.

    Italians saying no to paying mafia protection money-Europe-World-T... http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-2481880,prtpage-... Printed from The Times of India -Breaking news, views. reviews, cricket from across India Italians saying no to paying mafia protection money 23 Oct 2007, 0653 hrs IST, REUTERS SMS NEWS to 58888 for latest updates ROME: When the Sicilian mafia first tried to shake down restaurateur Vincenzo Conticello for $700 a month, he quoted his grandmother Ermelinda at them: "Don’t start paying up or you will always be a servant, never a free man." Unconvinced by his late granny’s reason for not paying the "pizzo" - protection money paid all over southern Italy and by up to eight out of 10 businesses in parts of Sicily - the mafia hit back with death threats and a new demand for $70,000. A member of the fifth generation of Conticellos to run Palermo’s Antica Focacceria San Francesco, the 48-year-old stood up in court and pointed the finger at the men he said tried to force him to pay up. "If I had paid up, my grandmother would have turned in her grave," said Conticello, one of a tiny band of business people who, partly inspired by antiracket youth movements such as "www.addiopizzo.org" (" goodbye pizzo" ), have taken a stand. They cannot even dent the mob’s earnings. It is estimated that Italian crime syndicates - the Cosa Nostra, the Camorra in Naples and the ‘Ndrangheta in Calabria - earn $107 billion a year from the protection racket and loan sharking.

  • MAFIA: a Product of the Italian Peculiar Historical Process
    Why Did the Mafia Emerge in Italy? An institutional answer. Silvia Console Battilana# November 2003 I am grateful to Professor Marzio Romani for helpful suggestions and for pointing me toward this subject. I’d also like to thank the following professors for their email responses: Luigino Bruni, Sandro Roventi, Stefano Zamagni, M.Centorrino and F.Ofria. # Stanford University, [email protected] 1 Introduction Why did the Mafia develop in Italy? This paper provides an answer by considering Mafia as an institution1 that arose in a unique cultural context. This context-a product of historical circumstances- included a system of widely held moral beliefs and values that were heavily influenced by the Church and were conducive to the development of Mafia. The first section explains the emergence of Mafia using the HCIA framework. Such an analysis contrasts with common stereotypes of Mafia as a purely criminal activity. The principal argument advanced is that the growth of Mafia was supported by Italian social and cultural retrograde conditions, most notably the practice of clientelism. The underlying system of social and cultural beliefs is a key element to every institution, as it contributes to regularities in behavior. In a realistic world of incomplete information, beliefs determine a given agent’s expectations about 1 This paper relies on the definition of institutions supplied by Grief (2003): “An institution is a system of man made, non-physical factors, that are exogenous to each individual whose behavior they influence. These factors jointly generate a regularity of behavior by enabling, guiding and motivating it.” 2 reactions by other agents and therefore influence the agent’s best response to the environment he faces.

Title: Order and Crime: Criminal Groups ́ Political Legitimacy in Michoacán and Sicily Issue Date: 2020-02-20 Chapter 5. Cosa Nostra: Tracking Sicilian Mafia’s Political Legitimacy At 2012, El Komander, popular Mexican "narco-singer", released his new single entitled "La mafia se sienta en la mesa" (Mafia Takes a Sit on the Table). El Komander, the artistic name of Alfredo Ríos, as well as other performers of the so-called narcocorridos (or, as it was later named, movimiento alterado) were forbidden to perform public concerts in Mexico. That was also the case in Michoacán, where a local public officer argued that Komander's ban was due to the lyric´s songs, which touch "very sensitive topics" (Velázquez, 2018). Certainly, most of his songs are dedicated to assert Mexican "narcos" as stylish and brave popular heroes. However, the lyrics of "La mafia se sienta a la mesa" were slightly different. Instead of glorifying exclusively Mexican “narcos”, this song did “[…] a twentieth-century history seen from the mafia’s point of view” (Ravveduto, 2014), in which “someone” in Sicily did start “everything”: “En un pueblito en Sicilia, un hombre empezó las cosas. Fue el padrino en la familia y fundó la Cosa Nostra. Desde Italia a Nueva York, traficó vino y tabaco. La mafia lo bautizó, fue el primer capo de capos” (In a small town in Sicily, a man started everything. He was the godfather in the family, and founded the Cosa Nostra.

  • Nonviolent Resistance Against the Mafia: Italy
    6 Nonviolent Resistance Against the Mafia: Italy onviolent resistance to the Mafia in Italy is not a new phenomenon. NMany readers are familiar with the campaigns of Danilo Dolci, the activist, educator, social reformer, writer, and poet. Over the course of the second part of the twentieth century, Dolci strove “to break the closed circle of poverty” in Sicily. 1 Known as the Italian Gandhi, he tar - geted the Mafia and corrupt, conniving government and clerical power - holders, linking their malfeasance to the grinding destitution, hunger, and violence he witnessed on the island. His nonviolent tactics included fasts, demonstrations, manifestos, alternative social institutions, sit-ins, radio broadcasts disrupting the government’s monopoly of the airwaves, strikes, and a reverse strike or “work-in” that garnered international at - tention. 2 Dolci and his followers—from illiterate villagers to trade unionists and intellectuals—challenged acquiescence to the exploitative system, pressured the state to support local development (including the construction of a long-awaited dam and access to clean water), and fos - tered community empowerment and cooperation. In spite of these col - lective efforts, the Mafia’s grip on Sicily remained tight. But in the first decade of the new century, a group of young people resumed the unfin - ished struggle.

Un bene confiscato alla criminalità organizzata si apre alla città per sostenere quanti ancora sono vittime del racket e dell’usura. Si apre nel nome di Michele Cavaliere un vero eroe dei nostri tempi, un uomo ed un esempio per quanti non vogliono e non devono abbassare la testa davanti alle intimidazioni ed alle minacce della Camorra. Il Suo assassinio non passerà invano, il Suo assassinio per tutti noi un simbolo di impegno civile, onestà e coraggio, una storia vera da raccontare alle nuove generazioni. Il Sindaco Avv. Antonio Pannullo 3 E’ giusto ricordare, come fa S.O.S.-IMPRESA, con il “Pizzino della legalità” dedicato alla memoria di Michele Cavaliere, il sacrificio di chi si è ribellato alla prepotenza criminale pagando il prezzo più alto: la propria vita. E’ giusto, perché attraverso la memoria, oltre a rendere il commosso omaggio alla persona e a partecipare ai Suoi familiari la vicinanza per un dolore che non si potrà mai attenuare, si può trasmettere, soprattutto alle giovani generazioni, un messaggio di senso civico e di dignità umana che deve costituire opportuno stimolo ad aspirare a essere componenti di una società fondata sul lavoro, la giustizia sociale e il rispetto reciproco tra gli individui. Per fare ciò, è necessaria la consapevolezza collettiva di affermare la legalità in ogni nostro comportamento quotidiano, una consapevolezza che il sacrificio di Michele Cavaliere e l’esempio del figlio Raffaele contribuiscono a rafforzare.
