Rebuild is now for us Aquila and Aquila, a word common: we encounter in our daily articles in newspapers, leaflets advertising for construction companies, proclamations, but also found in the determination of those who want to rebuild a sense of community life, social relations. And he wants to rebuild together, and with the recognition of its otherness, with the contribution and the cultural richness of each and all.
A lot happens, as Rebecca Solnit says in his "paradise to hell", that daily life will be changed. And not for the grief or pain, as happened to many, but because the habits and swept away the insulation, we open ourselves to listening to the needs of the other, there is the sense of being survivors being close to each other. When reading the needs of a population disrupted by the earthquake can be seen many areas of intervention in which the machine goes into relief not, they are mostly needs of "citizenship" that after an initial time when the prevailing emergency materials, it is clear , especially when the earthquake hit an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 100,000 city-dwellers, enriched by the presence of so many citizens and foreign nationals for the first time in Italian history, also involved in their numerically significant way by the earthquake.
The experience of our coordination was established as follows: to recognize that, perhaps for the first time in an earthquake of this size, had involved a large number of citizens and foreign nationals, and that these, along with others such as the elderly and single people were most vulnerable more exposed less guaranteed. Moreover, there is the first difficulties of living in tent camps. Initially, in the days immediately following the April 6, it was nice to discover that many had the same thought and gave the same response to needs, without knowing each other. Volunteers dell'Arci, Caritas, of Gentium, each with its own specificity, have begun to monitor the situation in the camps, to provide health care and food, counseling services that govern the lives of immigrants in Italy: residence permits, family reunification. At the same time, among the many who have decided to intervene in our area, some as Ombudsmen Volunteers of Pescara Cultural Mediators or the Community of Sant'Egidio, or mediators of the Association of Teramo Iris have made the same perception of reality so to intervene in shelters, hotels and tent camps on the coast nell'aquilano to listen and interpret the needs of foreign nationals Aquila. In each of us, whatever the reality of membership of reference, you just gained the conviction that the magnitude of the problem required that the response was different: it was coordinated.
E ' nato cosi il Coordinamento Ricostruire Insieme. Il lavoro sul territorio ci ha fatto incontrare delle persone che per concretezza, condivisione di ideali, disponibilità, ci hanno proiettati nell’avventura che ha portato il coordinamento a lavorare insieme alla Provincia di Trento per trasformare in progetto le attività di sostegno alla popolazione immigrata e italiana, che stavamo realizzando sul territorio. Il prefetto Ciclosi e il vice prefetto Maria Assunta Rosa del Dipartimento Libertà Civili e Immigrazione, l’assessore alla Solidarietà Internazionale e alla Convivenza della Provincia Autonoma di Trento, il responsabile del Centro Informativo per l’Immigrazione della provincia di Trento (Cinformi) Pierluigi La Spada. Sono nati so the two projects that have received funding from the European Fund for Integration of third country nationals and of which we will try to draw a balance sheet:
Information Center for Immigration Intercultural Center
The project activities, with new tools available, have been able to begin only after the signing of the Convention by the Province of L'Aquila with the project supervisor "Rebuilding Together" (April 13, 2010) and had an urgent deadline June 30, 2010. The short time available we were not scared, now tempered by the difficulties, and all operators are now active.
The Information Centre have developed 4 azioni principali. La prima azione è consistita nella predisposizione e somministrazione di un questionario ad un campione rappresentativo di stranieri e italiani terremotati. La seconda azione ha portato all’elaborazione dei dati emersi dalla rilevazione e alla stesura di un rapporto, per restituire alle istituzioni competenti e alla comunità della provincia dell’Aquila le informazioni rilevate. La terza azione è consistita nel realizzare un periodico informativo plurilingue (di cui è uscito un numero ogni 15 giorni) ed un sito internet (www.ricostruireinsieme.it), contenenti storie e racconti di vita raccolti nelle aree di ricovero, nonché notizie e informazioni relative alla normativa che disciplina l’ingresso, il soggiorno and, more generally, the phenomenon of migration. The fourth action, finally gave birth to an information desk as a reference point for the specific requirements related to the status of foreign citizens (living practices, relationships with family reunions and public bodies).
For the Intercultural Center has developed seven key actions. Design and implementation of an intercultural center where youth and adults can play and experiential seminars to enhance the different cultures in the province of Aquila.
Construction of recreational and training activities. Organising workshops and seminars to promote cultural exchange and promotion of culture of origin, especially among young people.
Birth of a course in Italian language and culture and country of origin of immigrants, enhancing human resources in the area.
Realization of an event aimed at promoting mutual understanding through various forms of art and music with moments of reflection with Filomeno Lopez.
Organization of a special seminar with the workforce on the territory of L'Aquila in order to promote green building and energy-saving technologies.
Organisation of a workshop to facilitate the establishment of small and medium enterprises.
ended June 30, the project activities funded, the center operators and Intercultural Information Centre are continuing on a voluntary and consistent with the few resources available, the most important activities. By the presence at the information desk in the management of the site, the continuity of the magazine that has gone through economic needs from fortnightly to monthly. What we are continuing to make the result better than the two projects have brought. It 'was an important opportunity for each of us and for many who attended to meet and discover, respect and enhance customs and cultures different from ours. But our experience has for us that we live an additional value: the recognition of the collective good even in the face of a challenge identity. What has been willing to surrender part of their identity association to achieve a common goal? Last but not finally, but to begin again, the Province of Trento, involving some of its municipalities, gave us a wooden house to continue the activity. Is part of the square of the Arts in via Ficara. (Source www.ricostruireinsieme.it )
