Description

The theme of the IPP - immigration - was developed working alongside Italian volunteers with immigrants of African origin, who had arrived in Italy and had no job or place to stay. The participants co-operated with the Catholic association Caritas, an organisation of volunteers devoted to helping the poor and the disabled and taking care of people who have no family or a place to stay. Also the local government was involved in the project: participants attended meetings in schools and with local government officials to compare ways of dealing with immigration issues in the Modenese area and in their home communities.
