Non risolve niente. Lo sappiamo, ma serve come invito alla relazione e alla conoscenza. I richiedenti asilo con cui SiSolidal condivide l'esperienza non sono in realtà solo pakistani. Sono di varie nazionalità. Ma di una sola razza: quella umana.

"IN ITALIA PER LA VITA"

Riguardiamolo.

Questo lavoro di Franca Marini , Alessandro Bisogni e Ilaria Cornetti è dell'autunno 2022 a Siena.
20 minuti intensi, belli, commuoventi, incredibili;
Questo è il 3° inverno.
La situazione forse è anche peggiorata.

Welcome to a world that needs to be shared.
There are days when everything blends together, our patterns open up and blur, regenerate with color. Stories begin to rewrite themselves. The SIS Intercultural Study Abroad program organizes academic experiences for its American students in which they are housed with local families and are required to do volunteer work with the Nuova Ulisse Cultural Association (NACU) in addition to intensive curricular study. During last year and the current year, the volunteer activity took the form of the Home4World program and targeted Pakistani, Afghan and Egyptian youth in Siena. Many of the individuals to whom the interventions have been directed became themselves, reliable volunteers. Non-American students particularly proficient in languages are being tutored by former SIS students Cal and Claire and included in SIS curricular classes, along with American students, through the Proventus project. Last night the plan was for the American students and students to present their volunteer activities to their host families. That is, English and Italian language classes, driver's license preparation, assisting in the preparation of CVs and small paperwork, civic education, digital citizenship education, and cultural-historical introduction to the city. American students Ava and Megan presented their work as volunteers that included a multilingual website to help provide communication to those in need: https://home4theworld.wixsite.com/home4theworld The evening ended with a delicious snack prepared and offered by Pakistani volunteers. But as Ulysses' activity intersects and participates in SiSolidal's spontaneous network, the evening was also shared with the Refugees Welcome association, which seeks host families for refugees. Two of their families shared their experiences. Also present were most of the individual or organized members of the network, representatives of the welcoming and the Catholic community. Thus we found ourselves in a large multiethnic, multigenerational, multicultural, secular and multireligious community, in that Magione that from the very beginning participated concretely and qualitatively in making those who could not be there at that moment feel a little at home. In short, a great splendid confusion that shattered the orderly lineup of the excellent host Mike, to whom credit must be given for an extraordinary spirit of adaptation. The goal is to provide an education for peace and respect that can value convergences more than divergences, where secular and religious volunteers work together in the conception of those bridges we desire, but which are built exclusively through direct contact and meaningful relationships. Special thanks to Asif and the 20 volunteers for the stunning and excellent food prepared in the tiny, but well- coordinated kitchen. All in all, it was an evening we hope to repeat soon. Many of the refugees don't actually live in Siena. For many refugees who would like to take advantage of the educational opportunities, transportation to/from Siena is difficult and expensive. A monthly pass costs 80 to 90 euros per person and is an insurmountable obstacle standing between the students and the possibility of continuing their studies. Those who would like to help students continue their journey can support us on this platform. https://gofund.me/9be21e9a
