- Youth and education
Terra del Fuoco is an NGO promoted by a movement of young people committed to support the process of European integration, sustaining an idea of Europe based upon the dignity and the rights of persons. Terra del Fuoco believes the constitution of a transnational, federal, solidal subject to be the generational objective of the latest sons of the 20th Century. Building Europe can create an example to other geographical areas, as well as a balancing structure for the whole world.
Therefore, we mainly work in the fields of international cooperation, especially with the Countries of the recent and future Europe, we develop youth programmes of education to European citizenship, and on our territories we promote the integration of migrants, particularly coming from the Countries of our cooperation projects, supporting the composition of a new social background and a new citizenship.
TRAIN OF MEMORY. Since 2005, the Train of Memory brings Italian students to visit the former extermination camps in Poland. It is, first of all, a year-long educational path. It focuses upon four keywords, spelling its timetable also: history, intended as analysis of the World War II phenomenon, of its effects on territories and of the lowest points reached in the recent global history. Memory, intended as personalization, encounter and confrontation with the few remaining witnesses, with the entities working in order to preserve memory, and above all with the places impregnate with it. Testimony, that is the encounter with all the situations that at present show the loss of dignity and human rights, in order not to forget that the “must not to let it happen anymore” depends upon collective effort by everyone, at at last commitment, our proposal for all, in the small ambition of our everyday lives, to be able to look out and contribute not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The Train has also a local extension named MEMOBUS.
IL DADO: Since 2005 we work upon the safeguard of a Rom community in Borgaro, nearby Turin.
We assist underage youngsters in the educational field whereas adults are supported in job-hunting and all bureaucratic issues – due also to the recent membership of Romania gained in the EU. In 2008, Il Dado is born: the first experience of auto-restructuring and auto-building addressed to the Rom community in Piedmont.
Other projects are focused on both the youth education and promotion of active citizenship, and on the social promotion of migrant communities, especially of Roma communities in Italy.
