Refugee (or, more common, political refugee): a displaced person who has been forced to cross national boundaries and who cannot return home safely because of political, religious, racial discrimination, or because persecuted, and finds hospitality in a foreign Country where his status is legally recognized.

The World Refugee Day has been established by United Nations General Assembly in 2001, that marked the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
Currently, the refugees are 70 million: they ask for political asylum and a place in this world, far from wars and persecution, that could receive them.

Mivrat is one of them. She was born in Aleppo and her dream is being a teacher. The distance that divides Mivrat from her dream becomes smaller when she goes to the college, but is forced to set aside her wis because of the violence of the war that obliges her to escape to Lebanon, leaving not only her life and her future, but also a city that, as she says, could not be found somewhere else.

“The war is like an earthquake at home. You know that this house is falling down, but you can’t go outside, you can’t protect beloved persons, you can’t protect your family and your children, and most of all, you can’t go forward because doors are closed.”

Her story continues in Ferrara, in Italy, where Mivrat and her family are received through humanitarian corridors. Despite distance from home, here, Mivrat has hope again: thanks to a fellowship, she can go back to college and find the way back to her dream. “Ferrara University has understood that it gives me the opportunity to piece together my future through the fellowship”.

And, in order to give future and hope back and let people live and do not survive, the aim of the UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, and many other organizations such as UNRWA, the United Nations Refugees Agency for Palestine, is to fight for the purpose of asking governments cooperation and help with refugees.

This Day wants, indeed, to remember values and principles at the base of international agreements for refugees’ safety, to promote the respect for their rights, to support Associations.

But even us can cooperate UNHCR has suggested some activities to involve as many people as possible in order to show our solidarity in a practical way: for example taking a photo with a sign that says “#WITHREFUGEES” and posting it on social media, or joining events all over Italy or also meeting refugees in reception centers during open days.

Il 4 e il 5 Giugno si è svolto a Torino lo Youth Speak Forum promosso da AIESEC Italia e Pubblicità Progresso: i risultati del più grande forum nazionale sugli Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile dedicato ai giovani.

Si è svolto a Torino, il 4 e 5 giugno 2019, la quarta edizione italiana dello Youth Speak Forum di AIESEC Italia che ha visto quest’anno la collaborazione di Fondazione Pubblicità Progresso.
Il Forum è riuscito a inserirsi con successo all’interno dell’offerta del Festival dello Sviluppo Sostenibile di ASviS, confermando la volontà di organizzatori e partner di renderlo un appuntamento dall’ampio respiro, capace di coinvolgere quasi 400 studenti universitari e non solo. Fondamentale, a tal proposito, il sostegno fornito da Fondazione Lavazza, che ha ospitato la prima giornata di lavori all’interno di Nuvola Lavazza, e dell’Università di Torino.

“Sono i giovani la chiave per un futuro migliore” Michela Contarin, presidente AIESEC Italia

“Non rinunciate a essere dei soggetti politici attivi” Emanuele Russo, presidente Amnesty Italia

Fil rouge delle due giornate il ruolo che le nuove generazioni possono e devono avere rispetto agli obiettivi dell’Agenda 2030. Un invito all’impegno e alla mobilitazione che ha trovato riscontro non solo nelle parole degli speaker, che hanno portato il racconto di best practice e comportamenti virtuosi, ma anche nei workshop di mercoledì 5 maggio.

Al centro delle discussioni e dei lavori soprattutto gli SDG 4, 5 e 10, dedicati rispettivamente alla Quality Education, alla Gender Equality e alla Riduzione delle Ineguaglianze. Costante la ricerca di un approccio multi settoriale, grazie alla variegata tipologia di ospiti e realtà presenti. Nel pomeriggio del 4 giugno si è parlato di Quality Education rispetto a diversi aspetti del vivere civile. Dalla responsabilizzazione in fatto di ambiente e sostenibilità, grazie alla presenza di Corepla, RICREA e CIAL, consorzi del riciclo, all’importanza di costruire coscienze singole e di gruppo consapevoli del proprio potenziale sociale. Proprio su questo si sono concentrati gli interventi di Amnesty e di Unesco Giovani.
“Dobbiamo abbattere i nostri stereotipi culturali interni e portare questo cambiamento all’esterno” Patrizia Soraglia, Fondazione Brodolini

Di bias, stereotipi e pregiudizi si è discusso invece nella seconda giornata di Youth Speak Forum, ospitata dall’Università di Torino e con la partecipazione di Circonomia, festival di economia circolare realizzato in collaborazione con Università degli Studi di Torino e ufficio di Unito Go, che ha come obiettivo quello di “mettere in mostra” le idee, le discussioni, le economie, le buone pratiche imprenditoriali e amministrative, i cambiamenti sociali e culturali che hanno in comune l’attenzione al paradigma ecologico, al tema del rapporto tra l’agire umano e la salute degli ecosistemi.
Riflessioni portate avanti non solo in termini di stereotipi di genere, ma anche di tutto quello che viene considerato ‘diverso’ e per questo guardato con sospetto. Significativa la testimonianza di Croce Rossa, che ha raccontato il successo del proprio progetto Youth On The Run, gioco di ruolo che simula l'esperienza dei migranti in cerca di asilo.
Di altissimo rilievo l’intervento del sociologo Domenico De Masi. 
Importante e centrale quest’anno il ruolo dei social, pensato per promuovere l’idea di una Rete capace di generare positività sostenendo e arricchendo simili momenti di incontro e riflessione. Durante la giornata di mercoledì 5, in particolare, il Forum ha visto la sentita partecipazione dell’influencer Martina Luchena (@martinaluchena), impegnata lungo il corso dei lavori come ambassador e reporter. Attraverso il suo canale Instagram (600 k follower) e quello di AIESEC (@aiesecitalia) sono state realizzate interviste a tutti i relatori presenti, raccogliendo gli spunti degli utenti provenienti da Instagram e Twitter. La voglia di intendere i social come strumenti consapevoli di informazioni e divulgazione è stata confermata dalla presenza dell’economic influencer Imen Jane (@imenjane), che ha preso parte al panel dedicato alla Gender Equality (SDG 5), al fianco di PWC Italia, Fondazione Brodolini e Arcigay.

Notevole il seguito ottenuto sui social media: le dirette, trasmesse sul profilo Facebook di AIESEC Italia, hanno raggiunto in ciascuno giorno di lavori le 3000 visualizzazioni, mentre su Twitter i principali hashtag di discussione (#YSF19, #faisentirelatuavoce, #YouthSpeakForum2019) hanno ottenuto complessivamente quasi le 500 mila impression.

In collaborazione con: Università degli Studi di Torino e Circonomia
Partner : ASviS, Lavazza e Rete delle Università per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile
Sponsor tecnici : RedBull, Pentel, Favorit, Crich, Leni’s, Galup e Stickermule.
