This is a time in which the vital resources are exhausted more and more and the separation between rich and poor in the world is more and more extensive. The political and economic conditions in many countries of the Mediterranean and beyond, forcing more people to leave their country of birth. We believe that the right to respond to a request for development and the universal right to a dignified life should strive to spread, especially among young European culture of knowledge and solidarity counteracting the selfish attitude of closure and national isolation . The EVS project PEACE AND DIALOGUE FOR AN OPEN MEDITERRANEAN aims to contribute to the deepening and knowledge of the motivations of migration on the one hand and to spread the culture of hospitality. Although the media deal with immigration in Sicily only during the landings, is about thirty years that Sicily has assumed the role of passage that introduces Africa to Europe , acting as a bridge between cultures, ethnic groups and religions. Historical continuity , given that Sicily has always been a crossroads of migrants from Asia, Europe and Africa Mediterranean for many different reasons and meetings of steps. When it comes to immigration in Sicily, therefore , we refer to a structural reality , that the islanders have generally accepted sense of hospitality and openness. The crisis of working, especially in the countryside , led to the replacement of the Maghreb manodopora with that coming from ' east europe , marking profoundly the labor market in Sicily. At this are often accompanied by deteriorating working conditions for foreigners, compared to hours and wages , an element that represents a possible basis of social conflict , not only between different ethnic groups, but also in relations with local communities .
The goal of the project is to equip young people of our city and volunteers who participate in the project of a profound knowledge and experience in immigration law. You will work closely with young people less fortunate , who fled from their countries and are temporarily guests of non-governmental organizations , with whom we are in contact. The migrants will be involved in art workshops and creative , will collect their biographies and their individual experiences in the long and arduous journey across the Mediterranean and Europe. It will be an enriching experience , knowledge and growth for migrants, those involved , and for European volunteers and the youth of the city. We would like to host 4 young people motivated and dynamic, full of energy and enthusiasm who want to participate actively in all activities, cooperate and socialize with other people.The choice of such dedicated and willing people will determine the full success of our projects.
