Five creative outputs for the CAP-PERI project!

One of the achievements of the CAP-PERI project consisted in the creation of five different, innovative and creative outputs.
An important element to take into consideration concerned the variety of creative and artistic languages to involve, so that each local workshop could explore a different creative dimension and develop various potentialities, thus resulting in 5 outputs different from one another. Each workshop was divided into 8 or more sessions (of 2 or more hours each), plus a final session for the presentation of the creative output.
The co-creative workshop in Palermo was conducted by Nunzia Lo Presti. It involved 23 students of the class 3° D of the local Scientific High School “Einstein”, and the creative output was a CAPPERI PODCAST.
The workshop in Milan was undertaken by Isabella Bordoni, involving 19 students from the local High School “IIS Santa Caterina da Siena” and resulted in “MICRO-GIARDINI”: a module environment of biodiversity, cohabitation and sociality. A physical, real environment, arising from processes of an artistic-formative nature, experience, affectivity, expression, recovery and self-construction.
The CAP-PERI project resulted in the creation of five different and creative outputs!
Giancarlos Stellini conducted the co-creative workshop in Mesagne, involving 20 students from the local High School “IISS Epifanio Ferdinando”. This workshop led to the creation of the participatory video OCRA. The video is about the importance of respecting the earth and it presents different activities that were conducted, within the CAP-PERI project, on this topic.
In Vicenza, Paola Rossi carried out the co-creative workshop engaging 21 students of class 4° BSC of the local High School “G.B. Quadri”, which resulted in SILENT CAPPERI. The aim of the workshop was to create a collective dramaturgical audio-narration, for a site-specific audio-itinerary, to be experienced with headphones while walking in the rural area of Carpaneda, which the students discovered during the experiential workshops with Valentina Anzoise, and which embodied a great number of important topics related to agriculture and sustainability
Finally, In Rome, the co-creative workshop was undertaken by Lorenzo Maragoni, engaging 48 students from two different classes of the local High School “IIS Leonardo Da Vinci”, and the creative output consisted in a Poetry Slam Live Performance. The students were introduced to the creation of poems related to the project and publicly presented the output in front of other students and school staff.
Below you can read some of these amazing poems (in Italian)!

Tra trent’anni il mare sarà arrivato dove adesso mi trovo io?
Quelli di Tolfa diranno ‘andiamo al mare a Maccarese?”
Quelle di Fregene invece, ah no loro non ci saranno più
E vedranno in lontananza il mare che sta quaggiù.
Qui dove adesso è pieno di verde e di gente
Ci sarà forse un nuovo ambiente?
Manifesti sulla plastica, raccolta differenziata
Ma questa è la via giusta o quella sbagliata?
Non sprecare l’acqua, spegni la luce!
Queste sono le cose continuamente ripetute
Ci avete asfissiato con la storia sull’ambiente,
Volete intervenire o parlare per sempre?
(Lucretia, Giovanni, Martina e Giuliana)

Quando mi fermo vedo tante avversità,
ma nonostante tutto voglio pensare che
Tra le tecnologie e le scienze in evoluzione
molti sogni si realizzeranno.
La società capirà sempre più
quanto è prezioso il pianeta terra
E il concreto bisogno che ha di curarlo al meglio
Delle nostre forze e conoscenze,
Affinché possa regalarci ancora per secoli
Preziosi doni come l’acqua, l’aria e il sole.
E soprattutto speriamo di abbassare di qualche grado le temperature
Attraverso l’ecologia rinnovabile.
Credo che tutti meritiamo un pianeta sano,
Con le risorse meravigliose che da sempre abbiamo ricevuto.
Noi tutti siamo parte del pianeta terra,
per questo è il nostro preciso dovere
curarlo al meglio delle nostre possibilità.
Così vedo il nostro futuro
(Ylenia)

Io so terreno
E sembra vero anche l’arcobaleno.
Piano piano tutto sta finendo
E noi non ce ne stiamo accorgendo
Perché diciamo sticazzi
se una pianta o un animale sta morendo.
Non abbiamo più tempo per salvare la terra
E frantumare l’effetto serra.
La speranza è la nostra ultima salvezza
Quindi fate attenzione quando comprate la monnezza.
Mi raccomando prudenza
Se non vuoi avere un futuro basato sulla sopravvivenza
In cui tuo figlio potrebbe non farcela
O morire di morte precoce,
quindi alziamo la voce
perché questo mondo non può fare questa fine atroce.
(Yuri, Nicolò)

The Festival Théâtres Nomades to stress the importance of climate and environment

On August 19 and 20, 2022 in Brussels at Bois de la Cambre, ALDA took part in the Festival Théâtres Nomades and it was a big success!
Mainly dedicated to street arts and theater, the Festival “Théâtres Nomades” was also an eclectic moment open to NGOs and associations to share their work and projects in an interactive way. Invited by Compagnie des Nouveaux Disparus, Head of the Belgium Branch of the مؤسسة آنا ليند, ALDA had a stand to promote its values and initiatives such as as the project: ..
The participation in the festival was a great opportunity to exchange with a broad range of audiences, including youngsters and climate activists in a festive atmosphere. It gave us the chance to present the commitment of ALDA to safeguarding the environment and to raising awareness about climate change.
تم عقد اجتماع Climate of Change project underlines the link between climate change and migration, advocating for a more specific protection scheme for climate migrants. It also fosters the importance of involvement and participation of young people in policy making since they will face the worst effects of the climate crisis. If you haven’t done it yet we invite you to sign the petition which aims to put the topic on the political agenda and ask for actions from EU institutions.
Thanks to ALDA’s interactive questionnaire on European processes and values, colleagues from the Brussels office stimulated the public’s curiosity and engaged an interesting debate about climate change and the European Union. The approval and support of the people was clear and evident since many signatures were finally collected.
The festival was a great chance to show the engagement of ALDA for the environmental cause underlining the solutions it is trying to promote with its projects. Furthermore, it was also an important moment of interaction with people and supporters of ALDA’s work and mission.

Democracy needs you: join the citizens’ jury of the “European Capital of Democracy”

On 19-20 August 2022, Vienna, the capital of Austria, welcomed for the second time the Experts’ Jury of the “European Capital of Democracy” (ECoD). The latter is an initiative willing to build a network of cities working for the increment of citizens’ participation. Recently inaugurated, the ECoD champions, every year, a city in Europe representative of democracy, and democratic local innovation.
From a general standpoint, democracy sets the basis to grow, for example, a more equal and just society, to foster freedoms, while safeguarding the planet not only in Europe but all over the world. Therefore, it should never be taken for granted; on the contrary, it should constantly be nourished.
Specifically for this very first edition, already 22 cities from 11 different countries joined, and the Experts’ Jury will now have the hard task to start scrutinizing the candidates.
Yet, citizens can also have their say! If you are passionate about Europe, democracy, and you want to take part in the initiative, do not miss the opportunity to be among the citizens’ jury.
If “peace”, “equity” or “fair pay and prices” are causes you embrace, apply to be a member of the citizens’ jury, and be the protagonist together with other people. Selected among the 3-5 shortlisted candidate cities, previously chosen by the Expert’s one, the citizens will pick the first European Capital of Democracy, which will be announced in September 2023!
ALDA, together with its الأمين العام و Chairwoman of the ECoD Experts’ Jury – Ms. Valmorbida – is very much glad to further support democracy through this initiative.

تواصل ALDA إظهار تضامنها والتزامها تجاه أوكرانيا

في منتصف شهر جويلية 2022، تعرضت فينيتسا لهجوم صاروخي هائل أسفر عن مقتل 21 شخصًا، بينهم 3 أطفال. وهو هجوم وحشي آخر على أمة كانت تعاني بلا هوادة منذ فيفري 2022. وغني عن القول أن ألدا أعربت عن تضامنها مع كل سكان أوكرانيا. في تغريدة، أعادت أنتونيلا فالموربيدا، الأمينة العامة لـ ألدا، التأكيد على موقف ألدا تجاه الحرب ضد أوكرانيا، مؤكدة على دعم ألدا المستمر للسكان الأوكرانيين، وأكدت على استعدادها لإنشاء وكالة ديمقراطية محلية جديدة في فينيتسا.
منذ بداية الأزمة، تعمل ألدا باستمرار لتقديم مساعدة ملموسة لأوكرانيا وشعبها
منذ بداية الأزمة، تعمل ألدا باستمرار لتقديم مساعدة ملموسة لأوكرانيا، وتعمل جنبًا إلى جنب مع وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية الأوكرانية في دنيبرو وماريوبول. في إطار التزامها بتعزيز وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية، دعت ألدا في جوان 2022 السلطات المحلية ومنظمات المجتمع المدني إلى مؤتمر بعنوان “دعم وكالات الديمقراطية المحلية في أوكرانيا”، الذي انعقد في بروكسل. هدف هذا المؤتمر إلى تقديم تحديث موثوق للوضع على الأرض في أوكرانيا، والأنشطة التي نفذتها ألدا، ولتقديم الدعم للمدنيين والمحتاجين. حقق المؤتمر نجاحًا كبيرًا، وأكد على الإرادة لانجاز مبادرات مستقبلية، والتعاون والافتتاح المحتمل لوكالات الديمقراطية المحلية في أوديسا وفينيتسا.
منذ بداية الحرب ، أظهرت ألدا دائمًا رابطة قوية مع أوكرانيا. كما أعلنت في "ببيانها حول الاستبعاد الروسي من مجلس أوروبا” and in its “بيان حول أوكرانيا وروسيا" إيدانتها الشديدة للحرب ضد أوكرانيا ودعمها المتواصل للبلاد وشعبها، وطلبت من الاتحاد الاوروبي دورا أكثر انخراطًا في إنهاء الغزو العسكري وبدء عملية سلام.
ألدا لمشاركة المواطنين: مشاركة متنامية

حازت ألدا على منحة التشغيلية من الاتحاد الأوروبي لبرنامج المواطنين والمساواة والحقوق والقيم (CERV),. وتعزز ألدا مشاركة المواطنين والمجتمعات المحلية في ترسيخ قيم الاتحاد. وتماشيًا مع أولويات البرنامج وأهدافه، فإن العديد من مشاريع ومبادرات ألدا مستوحاة من الركائز الأربع لـ CERV ، ويتم تنفيذها بالتعاون مع شبكة كبيرة من الأعضاء والشركاء في جميع أنحاء أوروبا وجوارها. بشكل أكثر تحديدًا ، الركائز الأربع هي:
- المساواة والحقوق والمساواة بين الجنسين
- مشاركة ومشاركة المواطنين
- حارب كل أنواع العنف
- حماية وتعزيز قيم الاتحاد
وتحديدا، وضمن ركيزة "مشاركة وتفاعل المواطنين"، انضمت ألدا إلى حفل توزيع جوائز "لنصبح مواطنين أوروبيين" من قبل الحركة الفيدرالية الأوروبية (EFM)، والذي أقيم في 30 جوان 2022 في فيرونا، إيطاليا.
شارك في المسابقة، التي روجت لها EFM، عددًا من الطلاب من منطقة فينيتو، وهدفت المسابقة إلى تعزيز نهج قريب من شباب تجاه سياسات وقضايا الاتحاد الأوروبي. وتمكن هذه المبادرات ألدا من معالجة هذه القضايا بنهج من القاعدة إلى القمة، بالاعتماد على دعم الرعاة والشركاء الذين يتشاركون نفس القيم.
تتسلح ألدا بخبرة تتجاوز 20 عامًا في مجال مشاركة المواطنين وتحفيزهم، وتؤمن بالمشاركة النشطة للشباب وتدعمها في المسارات الأوروبية وتدعمها، وبالتالي تعمل على توعية بفوائد المواطنة الأوروبية في سن مبكر.
تؤمن ALDA بشدة وتدعم المشاركة النشطة للشباب في العمليات الأوروبية
يهدف مشروع DESIRE، على سبيل المثال، إلى تحفيز التفكير النقدي لدى الشباب والتوعية بالاتحاد الأوروبي وقيمه ومزاياه الأساسية. وهذا الهدف يتماشى مع هذه اللحظة التاريخية حيث يحارب الاتحاد ضد التشكيك في اليورو والانقسامات الداخلية. يمكن لـ ألدا تحفيز نمو وتطوير الواقع الديمقراطي الذي يعيش فيه المواطنون بمشاركة مباشرة من المجتمع المدني ، من أجل تعزيز المشاركة النشطة في العملية الأوروبية بدءًا بالأجيال الشابة لتحقيق هدف أسمى.
هذان مشروعين من بين العديد من المشاريع التي تشارك فيها ألدا: الأنشطة التي يدعمها برنامج المنحة التشغيلية متنوعة وتستلزم شركاء مختلفين.
في الختام، تعتبر إجراءات ألدا لتعزيز الديمقراطية ومشاركة المواطنين في أوروبا فعالة وتساهم في تحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة وأجندة 2030، وفي الدعم الاستباقي لتحقيق أهداف ومبادئ برنامج CERV.
