The last transnational meeting of the project “Crossing the Line” took place in Palermo from 8th – 10th June 2011. During the last three days young people from the different cities involved in the project had the opportunity to meet together in Palermo. They have had the opportunity to share their experiences of making the documentaries about their lives and youth issues and also to get to know the hosting city of Palermo. They participated in a tour guided by the local youth, they visited the University of Palermo and they took part in two local festivals, one about sustainable development and one combating racism.
At the same time, the management team met in CESIE’s office to make the final decisions about the training products that have been created as result of the two-year project: a DVD containing the five final documentaries and a training manual.
On Friday 10th, the final conference of the project was held at “Nuovo Teatro Montevergini”, located in the heart of the historical centre of Palermo. Representatives of national media and the public attended the event, during which key-note speakers includingDottoressa Salierno (Director of Palermo’s Civil Social Office for minors), Mrs. Rosanna Scaracelli and Mr. Stuppia from Fondazione Piazza and Sig. Nino Manino from Centro Pio La Torre commented on the films and the work of the project connecting it to the local context.
