The neighbourhood
A considerable percentage of residents are subject to irregular work and irregular housing. The school dropout rate is also very high, especially in secondary schools, and illiteracy is widespread throughout the neighbourhood. In this context, informal and illegal systems guarantee order and sustainability that the state is unable to offer. There are also Roma settlements inside the neighbourhood. Their presence has often created tensions with the local population, giving rise to episodes of racism (The Tree of Life ONLUS, 2012). |
Seventeen young people aged 6–13 participated.
#arancetodaimieiocchi exhibition / 06 July 2021
This exhibition was held outside the foundation’s headquarters and took on a more participatory character thanks to the organisation of the instructors. One photograph per participant was printed in a large and rigid format, and the rest of the photographs were printed on 10x15 cm of paper and hung on the walls. The coordinator of this centre, who has been working in the field for more than 20 years, took this opportunity to deepen the educational objectives, actively involving the children and adolescents with whom they organised short openings and participatory activities. |
