The Fondazione Mediterraneo - with its networks, remote offices, the autonomous sections, the "House of Peace", the "House of the Arab Maghreb", the "Maison de la Méditerranée" - adheres to and supports the "4th World Meeting of youth for Peace"organized by SERMIG in Naples October 4th, 2014, Feast of San Francesco.
During a meeting in Turin with Ernesto Olivero - on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of SERMIG - the President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso and manager of "Youth and Creativity" Pia Molinari shared the spirit of this important event which will see in Naples a thousands of young people from different countries around the world to spread their thoughts, their complaint to the rulers and powerful often regardless to what is happening today.
"Our goal - says Ernesto Olivero - is to give voice to young people, to their needs, their fears, their hopes. We will read a "Letter to the consciousness" born of the encounter with suffering: it is the cry of the young people who have lost their trust in institutions and they feel humiliated by history. This letter is born from the tears of those who are afraid to live in a society without principles, ideals and shared values; from the pain of the homeless welcomed in our arsenals; from the anger of those who were forced to leave their country; from the humiliation of rejected, of downtrodden, of no-face. Of those who have lost any hope in life and in others. "
"Fondazione Mediterraneo - says Michele Capasso - could not but fraternize to Ernesto Olivero and the SERMIG, the sharing values, actions, perspectives and hopes. What is happening these days in Iraq, Syria, Palestine and other parts of the world is a sign of ethics and moral decadence and a crisis of values, rather than economic: all over the world, from Europe to the United States, to the Middle East, to Asia, corrupt individuals, greedy, amoral spread their power, trampling human dignity. Our common aim must be that of transform this "Love of Power" in the indispensable "Power of Love" as Ernesto says, "Consciousness is witnessing with their lives rather than with words." The appointment in Naples is a key step of this path in order to give back to young people the role of "Manufacturers and protectors of our future."
