“ES-PRESSIONE CREANDO”

Each participant will have the opportunity to give voice to their own thought or emotion through art tool that he will feel more congenial, work in an environment free from any kind of judgment and share within the group, if desired, what produced, giving a title to his work. They will, thus, find differences or similarities with others, approach the other’s emotional world with respect and openness and have fun playing with the proposed materials. To each working group will be proposed a mandate, which will serve as inspiration to start creating. All works will then be put together as in a tale and start a fantastic and improvised narrative, on the wings of imagination.

Workshop 4
THE NEWNESS OF DANTE’S EXPERIENCE TODAY
The workshop, organized by Patrizia Gioia of the Arbor Foundation, will accompany us to the rediscovery of the experience, ingenuity and art of Dante’s life through the story of his “journey” :common human experience and possible for each of us .
Dante Alighieri is considered the father of the Italian language and his “Comedy” one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature. His work, if read with discernment and attention, can transform us deeply. Of course we should not limit ourselves to an “exterior” reading, horizontal, only scholarly or historical. It is important to know who is this character and what he did, the historical coordinates are used, but they are not the essence.

Workshop 7
RGHANDI AND HIS VISION OF PEACE
Katharina Kindler of ASSEFA Association, offers an interesting workshop on the philosophy of Mahatma Ghandi, during which there will be presentations and video, in which the communication of peace was vital to realize sustainability projects with ASSEFA India , ASSEFA Italy and the local population.
The communication of effective peace is an awareness. The culture of peace is the only way to understand that peace can only be achieved through non-violence, which, unfortunately, is currently not possible as long as humanity primarily pursues the path of capitalism and materialism.
Until the world defends security with weapons, it does not prepare itself for a non-violent communication and peace will not be reached.

Workshop 8
I ENTRUST ME TO YOU: THE IMPORTANCE OF WORDS
The Ticinese Association Famiglie Affidatarie concerns a delicate and complex topic, and involves children in the foreground. They are the main protagonists and it is important that they are involved in communication (with biological parents, foster parents, with professionals who revolve around them in this situation). It is important to talk about this topic, explain what happens in a foster care and why it happens. More than the “how”, the children are interested in the “why.” The workshop organized by ATFA aims precisely to reflect respect to the issue of foster care, and then the reception of a child in another family.
In order to link to the theme of the World Forum, the intention with this workshop is to help children and young people to reflect on the theme of foster care and its relationship with communication: how can you communicate a distress ? Because communication is such an important role in relations with their biological parents and foster parents?

Workshop 9
PUBLIC SPHERE, PRIVATE SPHERE?
The workshop organized by Gabriela Giuria Tasville of Amnesty International Swiss Section intends to engage children to reflect on the boundary of the public sphere and the private sphere.
Often the answer before this question is “I have nothing to hide, supervise me as well!” But are we sure that we did not want to hold something just for ourselves? Each of us makes, every day, do things in our private space that would not were seen in public. It is therefore not because we have something to hide that we do not want to be supervised indiscriminately, but because there are some areas of our lives that we prefer to keep private.
The objectives of this workshop are: to discover and define our privacy sphere, be aware of the rules that define the privacy on social media and learn the right to a private life.
