How to valorize the courage of minors that burn the frontiers to build a new life?
How to support and provide them the opportunity of growing both personally and professionally?
RAGAZZI HARRAGA – Social Inclusion Processes for unaccompanied minors in the city of Palermo has foreseen 5 laboratory paths, started last October: Dance, Video, Expressive, Intercultural, Rights and Cohabitation.
The workshops have the aim to stimulate the young participants:
- to raise awareness of their own talents and learning desires;
- to develop soft skills;
- to provide them occasions to socialise and to get in relation with other young people living in Palermo.
The workshops are under way and will end in January- February 2018. Following this, the second cycle of workshops will begin.
However, the intercultural workshop is going to an end.
It has been an intensive path: participants discussed each other on important issues such as identities, religions, and cultures that meet and merge together to create a new, rich culture in which everyone can recognize each other.
They visited a mosque with an Imam and a church with Don Enzo – director of Santa Chiara – gave them the deep and collective meaning of religions. They reflected on what it means to move in a new country that has different cultural, civic and linguistic codes and what are the strategies to include themselves and become active citizens, protagonists of their choices.
Finally, the guys organized a party under the supervision of the facilitators, Ben and Numu, and want to share with other young people and anyone interested their cultural traditions, their learning path, music and food.
