Borders must not be seen as walls separating people, but as roads uniting people, along which people can move, and in doing so we'll revive those principles the idea of Europe is based on. This is the reason why we need to work with people who are looking for alternatives to the selfish attitudes of States and who are suggesting actions based on the universal value of people's wellbeing. The International Meeting against Racism wants to help raise awareness in our society. It aims at creating a society that welcomes and respects diversity and relationships and is committed against discrimination and racism. What we must do is tearing down those thoughts that isolate, separate and drive people away from each other. Wednesday, July 13 Morning sessions 10:00 – 13:30 Room 1 Let's develop networking to create an empowering environment – training workshop for Protection System for Asylum Seekers and Refugees (SPRAR) workers Long-life learning is an essential feature of SPRAR workers’ everyday activities. Professionalism is extremely important requirement, and so are the quality standards described in the Operation Manual. SPRAR workers must manage the integrated assistance services on a daily basis, and thanks to their work, they have been greatly increasing their skills and expertise in this sector over the years. This knowledge is precious and must be enhanced at the training level. This is the reason why we decided to organise this training course during the International meeting against racism 2016. This course is dedicated to SPRAR workers, whose need to be further trained is met by sharing experiences and skills. This course wants to foster the exchange of good practices and the drafting of guidelines on a number of key issues related to the assistance and welcome services to people as well as social inclusion, e.g. finding a job, creating local support networks and the involvement of vulnerable beneficiaries. This workshop will be based on the idea of sharing knowledge and experiences horizontally. It will be a peer-to-peer training. There will be three groups and they will be led by SPRAR workers-facilitators who works with the Arci network on a number of SPRAR projects. Facilitators: Francesco Giannoni and Dagmar Schussler - Arci Toscana Group 1: vocational training, job training and job placement (Barbara Giovino SPRAR Firenze- Carmen Cogliandro SPRAR Lunigiana-Stefano Pelagatti SPRAR Lucca-Raffaele Gorgoni SPRAR MSNA San Pietro Vernotico): the assistance and welcome courses aim at helping people to get back on their feet and find a job, so to be economically independent and this can be achieved only by using a number of specific tools that must be available to beneficiaries. The working group will focus on sharing methods, strategies and tools aimed at achieving positive results on the medium/long term. Group 2: territorial networks and memoranda of understanding (Nazila Arabashahi SPRAR Valdera- Catia Fagioli SPRAR- Siena – Caterina Vangelisti SPRAR Rosignano-Francesca Pala SPRAR SdS Pisana): how to establish good relationships with the local communities, (employers, trade unions and professional organisations, schools, training institutes, etc.): it plays a decisive role for the development of institutional and informal local networks, which are of the essence to help people become independent again. The working group will focus on how to create and strengthen networks, as well as on how to optimize those relationships that are developed to help people become independent again during the project and after it has been closed. Group 3: taking care of and helping vulnerable people to be independent again. (Virginia Signorini SPRAR Prato – Emiliano Piredda SPRAR Arezzo): more and more beneficiaries are vulnerable - many of them suffer from mental problems - that is why what we need to do is being aware of the symptoms and being able to see them. Ad hoc assistance must then be offered and the correct approach must be identified. In such a way the full independence and autonomy - or at least partial independence and autonomy – is likely to be achieved. The working group will compare methods, strategies and tools according to the accomplished results. Afternoon sessions 15:00 to 17:00 Room 1 Working with partners to develop empowering welcoming activities - training workshop dedicated to SPRAR operators Results are debated during the plenary session 15:00 to 17:00 Room 2 Art workshops "Fumetto Intercultura" (Inter-cultural Comics) Organised by Muhammad Ben Takoua How to draw comics, basic techniques and how to write a story 17:00 to 19:00 Room 3 The new cities: let’s build different and inclusive realities The suburban areas: our cities’ borders. From their being areas where marginalisation and anger grow and lead to inequalities to their transformation into new areas of urban regeneration and inclusion. Organisations and authorities coming from several European cities meet and debate this issue. Participants: Aldo Bonomi (Sociologist), André Henselmann (OASE Germany), Helen Boehm (Gesobau, Germany), Annalisa Gadaleta (Culture Councillor, Molenbeek, Saint-Jean, Brussels), Matteo Biffoni (President ANCI Toscana), Simone Pallotta (in charge of public art, Rome), David Lopez (Director the international unit of the “Ligue de l'enseignement” - France, President of the lifelong learning program platform - Brussels) Welcome speeches: Claudia Franconi (President - Arci Cecina) Introduction and facilitators: Federico Amico (National Working Committee – Arci, Rights and Cultural Good Practices, People’s Education) Conclusion: Francesca Chiavacci (ARCI National President) Street art performance: Paul Gojo Colasanti, Vasco Warios 19:00 to 20:00 Inauguration of the XXII International Meeting against Racism Inauguration of the photo exhibition NOISIAMOSOLOANDATA This photo event, NOISIAMOSOLOANDATA, is based on a joint project involving Arci Siena and Arci Toscana (which is the partner in charge for the SPRAR project) and it is due to the work of a young local photographer, Alessio Duranti, who took part into the activities that are performed with the beneficiaries and took pictures of their everyday life activities, their playful moments, the training courses, the paperwork they were requested to prepare and their job hunting. This project wants to share the meaning and the goals of the welcome and integration project by speaking a different language – which is not made of words - but having a strong and meaningful effect all the same. Organised by Arci Siena and the SPRAR project of the Province of Siena "The story of G." Musical reading on women trafficking. It deals with women. It’s women trafficking: women treated as slaves, abused, hated, sold, used, raped, hunted, abandoned. This is a true story. One among the many true stories that can be heard in the assistance and welcome centres for illegal migrant women. Thanks to this show we learn this truth, which thanks to music, poetry and art can still be turned into something beautiful, into hope, a new awareness and sensitivity blossoming in people’s hearts. Director, writer and main actress: Irene Paoletti. Based on the story told by Federica Nucci. Soundtrack (piano): Emanuele Bocci. Organised by La compagnia Arts & Crafts e Arci Grosseto Launching of the advert "APRI FORTE" by Arcisolidarietà Cecina with the Scuola Media Statale Galileo Galilei, S. Pietro in Palazzi Evening events 21:00 "Tutta Un’altra Storia" by and with Fiamma Negri and Giusi Salis. Show/reading first developed during the 2015 MIA 22:00 Meganoidi live ** Thursday, July 14 Morning sessions 10:00 to 13:00 Room 2 Laboratory on Journalism and migration organised by Atlante delle Guerre e dei Conflitti The causes of migration: wars around the world In 2015 and early 2016, migrations, borders and assistance and welcome services were a widely debated issue on Italian and European media. 2015 was a record year as for news about migrations debated on newspapers and TV news. Migration flows intensified, and the growing threat of jihadist terrorism worsened and amplified people’s fears and affected the political debate, as well as the way media reported on the Italian, European and international events, which were told by using alarmist talk. However, when tragedies at sea occurred, this talk changed into a more dramatic one. In general, the extraordinary nature of this phenomenon and migrations being seen as one uniform phenomenon, causes information to people to be incorrect, e.g. the wrong terminology - which is also legally incorrect - is often used. The international and Italian journalists’ associations have been pointing out the need to talk about migrations in a more correct, informed and diversified way. This training course aims at providing participants with some basic elements to increase awareness concerning the news related to migration issues. What must be done is promoting the protocol of ethical conduct - Charter of Rome which was approved on April 24, 2008 by the Journalists’ Association and the Italian National Press Federation. The course has three main goals, i.e. : - it wants to provide basic information on the origin of migrants; wars ravaging their home countries; and their implications at the international level. - it wants to increase and improve the knowledge of participants on migratory routes, the border situation, European and non-European policies concerning migrations, and wants to tell the story of the migrants’ journey as told by the media. - it encourages reflection, exchange and growth as for the way the media talk about migrations, the starting point being the guidelines to implement the Charter of Rome.

  • The Regional Elections of 2010: Much Ado About Nothing?
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 2, No. 1, 2010, 137-45 The Regional Elections of 2010: Much Ado about Nothing? Antonio Floridia Electoral Observatory of the Region of Tuscany Abstract: This article, taking its point of departure from the research presented at the annual workshop of the Italian Society for Electoral Studies, analyses the principal outcomes of the elections held in 13 Italian regions on 27 and 28 March 2010. One of the most significant features of these elections is that they do not appear to have resulted in any major changes with respect to the electoral cycle initiated in Italy by the parliamentary elections of 2008. Featuring a very low level of turnout, typical of “second-order” elections and affecting all the parties, the only winners were the parties (the Northern League and Italy of Values) which managed to consolidate their support or limit their losses. The article then analyses in more detail the result obtained by the Democratic Party and dwells on the fact that the success of the centre right, despite winning four of the regions previously governed by the centre left, does not seem, however, to have reinforced the Berlusconi government due to the growing political significance of the League and the conflicts this produces. Ultimately, the regional elections have highlighted all of the dillemmas affecting Italian politics without resolving any of them. Keywords: Berlusconi, regional elections, Lega Nord, Democratic Party As it has become accustomed to doing in the wake of a round of elections, SISE, the Italian Society for Electoral Studies (Società Italiana di Studi Elettorali), decided this year too to organise a workshop – which took place in Milan on 10 May, a few weeks after the regional elections, at the headquarters, and with the support of the Milan provincial government.
