As it is by now well known, the Mafias are not just a criminal phenomenon, but they are above all a cultural pedagogical agent. In other words they ensure their existence and future by proposing a world where one grows up and “becomes Mafia”. They build a world suggesting a model of woman and man to aim for. In building their world, they create contexts where individuals are gradually deprived of the fundamental “capabilities” that open the doors to human, social, cultural and economic growth and development; they determine processes where individuals as well as principles of justice and equality are cancelled.

For these reasons social pedagogic work, the struggle against poverty and early school leaving, promotion of social reintegration initiatives for victims of sexual or work-related trafficking, reintegration into the labour market of former inmates, the offer of spaces for the social inclusion of migrants are the routes to follow to return as rights what the Mafias give as favours. Promoting social justice, building for and not just against are the main aims of many organizations engaged in the struggle against the Mafias.

The laboratory aims at diffusing some social experiences already promoted and carried out, that gave particular attention to the skills required for educators as they play a relevant role in these areas of intervention.

In addition to the first meeting in Rimini on 2nd May 2018 - from 10,30 a.m to 2,30 p.m - for the students from Rimini and on 3rd May - from 1 p.m to 5 p.m - in Bologna for the students from Bologna, the laboratory includes two training days at Gruppo Abele Association in Turin. The departure will be from the Coach Station in Bologna on Wednesday 16th May at 10 a.m and the return will be on Friday 18th May in the evening. After the training in Turin there will be a conclusive meeting including a final evaluation test of the laboratory on the following dates:

  • 30th May 2018 – from 10,30 a.m to 2,30 p.m – in Rimini forthe students from Rimini and
  • 31st May 2018– from 1 p.m to 5 p.m –in Bologna for the students from Bologna

All costs of travelling, food, accommodation will not be borne by the students but by the University. The students are requested to enrol for the laboratory when they are sure they can participate in the two-day training in Turin, and they should avoid to register and cancel their participation at the very last minute, thus denying other students the opportunity to participate.
