"The Wave. Waves rise, grow, change things. Then everything goes back to the way it was before... but it is no longer the same thing': this is the name of the new project that kicks off in February 2023 in Milan, in which Un Ponte Per is participating together with other associations rooted in the Lombardy region (Lo Scrigno, Libera Associazione contro le mafie, Saveria Antiochia Osservatorio Antimafia, Associazione Kayros).
The aim of the project is to carry out in 18 secondary schools located in 9 Milanese municipalities an information and awareness course to transmit to studentsə the culture of legality, civic responsibility and the fight against mafia phenomena.
The activities will begin in February 2023 and continue until July 2023 in partnership with associations strongly committed to spreading a culture of legality and combating mafias through interventions aimed at minors and adults, of an educational, informative and training nature and preserving the memory of innocent victims.
More specifically, the project plans to address the theme of legality through expressive, artistic and theatrical workshop methodologies, the use of storytelling, role-playing and peer-to-peer testimonies. The main objectives are to promote a culture of ethical and civic responsibility and to transmit values and cultural models for combating mafias. Activities will also be carried out outside school hours and outside schools, using spaces confiscated from the mafia and in use for social projects, where present.
The activities proposed by UPP within the identified schools consist of workshops to be held between April and June, which will be agreed with the Libera association and will focus on the theme of legality, civic responsibility and the fight against mafia phenomena.
Summer campuses are also planned that will engage young people in artistic and sporting activities, implementing the reflection on the themes already initiated in the workshops carried out in the classrooms.
