Lamezia Terme – The final event with which the Volunteer Operators of Lamezia, Vibo, Crotone, Reggio Calabria and Cosenza engaged in the projects presented by Arci Servizio Civile Lamezia is scheduled for Thursday 23 May 2024 at 5pm, in the Fittante room of Palazzo Nicotera Terme/Vibo Valentia Aps and Arci Servizio Civile Calabria Aps will present the works carried out during the activities carried out in the year 2023/2024. The works, as has been the case for some years now, were carried out within the social communication laboratory; these are moments of meeting and reflection in which a focus will be created on significant issues such as disability, immigration, environmental protection, the fight against violence against women, the protection of cultural heritage and much more. Furthermore, this year there will also be a space dedicated to the poet Franco Costabile, the man of letters from Lamezia whose birth centenary this year marks and who the city is celebrating with a rich program of initiatives. These are topics, realities, situations that concern the sphere of action of the various projects of the Universal Civil Service. Furthermore, the event will see the extraordinary participation of the students of the musical high school and the “Tommaso Campanella” dance high school led by the director Susanna Mustari. The students directed by prof. Roberto Tripodi will give life to a music and dance performance that will further enrich the presentation of the works carried out by the volunteers of Arci Servizio Civile. The project paths carried out in the past year will conclude in these days; the volunteers who are about to finish their journey will pass the baton to the new ‘colleagues’ chosen by the managers of Arci Servizio Civile Lamezia Terme/Vibo Valentia and Arci Servizio Civile Calabria and by the representatives of the associations involved in the projects. It should be noted that the social communication laboratory was the first in Italy to be created within the scope of civil service activities; a more than positive experience which was then also borrowed from other territories. Social communication understood, therefore, as a leitmotif to bring together apparently distant worlds but united by common values and principles such as the defense of rights for the weakest, the promotion of solidarity, the overcoming of stigma in cases of discrimination for social categories weaker. The final works constitute an added value for the regular activity carried out by the volunteers who tried their hand at storytelling and the use of multimedia tools to create videos, theatrical paintings, photo books and more. This is possible precisely thanks to social communication which transversally crosses all paths with a view to mutual collaboration and full sharing. It should also be noted that, this year, the volunteers of Arci Servizio Civile they are also active protagonists of the regional project “Participate to educate ourselves… Let’s build the future”.
The project process is aimed at providing quality, equitable and inclusive education together with lifelong learning opportunities for all. The project aims to encourage awareness of cultural and environmental protection, strengthening the idea of participation and active citizenship; this, in order to profoundly change the negative and stereotyped idea that people have of Calabria. It is time for a new solidarity, made up of coherent educational messages also in reference to the new needs deriving from a globalization which, anthropologically, involves the necessary coexistence between different value criteria”. The main purpose is, therefore, “to make cultural and landscape assets a space of cognitive experiences in which to develop curiosity, observation skills, intuition and creativity. We want to create relationships to reawaken the desire to know our own history through narration The project proposal, presented by Arci Servizi Civile Lamezia Terme/Vibo Valentia APS as part of theNotice for the financing of initiatives and projects of local relevance pursuant to articles. 72 and 73 of the legislative decree 3 July 2017, n. 117 of the Calabria Region, wants to respond to needs of great interest and relevance because it is strongly consistent with the axes that constitute the learning objectives indicated in the Guidelines for the teaching of Civic Education issued by the Ministry of Education and Merit”.
