Twenty thousand students connected from all over Italy with EMERGENCY to understand the current conflict scenario and express their voice of dissent. So on Thursday 18 April at 10 am at Casa EMERGENCY in Milan “C3SS4T3 IL FU0C0. POINT0. 4 C4P0 – Take part and shout it out loud”: the NGO’s annual initiative dedicated to high schools to understand the ongoing wars and how important it is to put an end to them. In this new edition of the event, two classes of the third and fourth year of the Cattaneo and Cremona high schools in Milan will be present who, together with another 20 thousand students connected via streaming in schools throughout Italy, will be able to listen and dialogue with Nogaye Ndiaye, supporter of human rights, writer and popularizer, the cartoonist Takoua Ben Mohamed, the historian Vanessa Roghi, the journalist-writer and “data humanizer” Donata Columbro, the journalist and Rai correspondent Giammarco Sicuro and the communications manager of EMERGENCY, Simonetta Gola. “No war is inevitable and all are inhumane. Telling it is important – explains EMERGENCY -. Because war is the problem and not the solution and, whether on the border of Ukraine, in the center of Gaza or in the heart of Sudan and everywhere else, civilians are the first victims, always. And even when the information spotlight on the emergency of a conflict goes out, the war continues to cause victims and have serious consequences for the country that is the theater of it”. The meeting will open with the testimonies of the guests: all people who have chosen to take part with comics, facts, numbers or words. The guests will be introduced and moderated by Nogaye Ndiaye, who will launch polls to present the topics of each speech to which the students connected via streaming will respond. Questions and answers will also stimulate the speakers and the debate that will take place in the room with different opinions, reflections and points of view. Moving from an immediate language such as comics to a historical perspective, from the role of numbers in the story of a war to a reflection on the complexity of the topics linked to the story of a conflict and the difficulties of informing in a neutral way, the initiative will be a stimulus for delve into the reasons and at the same time the need to put conflicts out of history. To finally arrive at a world without more war. (AGI)
