The AMIL project continues to consolidate its territorial network, hosting a new training and discussion session for social workers in Rome on March 27, 2026.
What Was it About?
The initiative was part of the working group meetings aimed at strengthening the territorial network of social workers and featured the screening of the movie Californie, directed by Alessandro Cassigoli and Casey Kauffman. The event combined cinematic language with social reflection, offering a shared space for exploring topics central to professionals working in inclusion contexts.
The film tells the story of Jamila, a Moroccan-origin teenager growing up in Torre Annunziata. Through a delicate and engaging perspective, the narrative portrays the complexity of everyday experiences related to inclusion and exclusion, highlighting the concrete challenges of integration. The local context—its social, cultural, and economic characteristics—emerges as a key factor shaping people’s life trajectories.
Making the event even more meaningful was the discussion with director Alessandro Cassigoli, who engaged with participants and offered reflections to critically interpret the dynamics portrayed in the film. The debate encouraged the development of project ideas grounded in an intersectional approach, integrating multiple dimensions—gender, origin, socio-economic context—that shape the experiences of those involved.
For AMIL project partners, the meeting was also an important opportunity to strengthen the territorial network through the sharing of experiences and project initiatives, particularly focused on empowering young women with migrant backgrounds. The discussion expanded opportunities for collaboration between Third Sector organizations and the Rome Capital Administration, consolidating an ongoing dialogue.
Among the initiatives presented, special attention was given to the Women’s Empowerment project, promoted by Rome Capital, which complements AMIL’s actions. This exchange laid the groundwork for further strengthening synergies between the project, its partners, and the local administration, aiming to make interventions in favour of inclusion and autonomy for women with migrant backgrounds more effective and targeted.
The March 27 meeting thus confirmed itself as a significant space for mutual learning, enhancing the network’s expertise and promoting shared project planning rooted in the real needs of the territories and people.
