Are the citizens really ready?
Do we fully understand the meaning of this summit?
Do younger people remember what the 2001 G8 represented for activists around the world?
The boys and girls from Capitalsud and Cimafe are asking themselves this question and, in Officina San Domenico, they will try to find some answers by asking questions to those who experienced that G8, directly and indirectly.
“We believe that there was a moment, in the recent past, in which the culture of protest and dissent stopped being transmitted from generation to generation – they say -. That moment is the G8 in Genoa in 2001, what Amnesty International defined a violation of human rights on a scale never seen in recent European history“.
