The Municipality of Naples renews its support to the Palestinian fugitives and to the victims of armed conflicts, reaffirming the role of Naples as "City of Peace".
Friday March 16th, at 10.00, at Palazzo delle Arti di Napoli (Pan), the Mayor Luigi de Magistris will open the last day of the project "Smiles" (Sostegno minori iracheni libanesi educazione e salute), realised in collaboration with "Un ponte per", in the presence of about a hundred students of junior high schools and high schools.
During the event, four short films by Palestinian fugitives will be projected: refugee camps shot by young people who live in, within a cinema school organised by the Lebanese partner of "Un ponte per".
The Mayor will speak in favour of the distance supports as tool of solidarity and development education against social injustices, followed by the Councillor for Culture, Mrs Antonella di Nocera, and the executive of the "Peace and Human Rights" Service of the Municipality of Naples, Mrs Clara Degni. Angelica Romano will tell the long experience of "Un ponte per" in Lebanon and in Iraq, where the association works for the trusteeship of the Right to Childhood, to Study and to Health.
Marco Di Donato, journalist of Osservatorioiraq.it, will guide the participants in a virtual visit by images and stories about a population who live on the fringes of society.
Thanks to "Smiles", Municipality of Naples will guarantee the Right to Study to 3 Palestinian fugitive children, assisting them in the scholastic cycle of 5 years and offering them a training course to reduce the school drop out rate.
The financing will be also earmark for therapeutic runs to 5 Iraqi patients suffering from chronic diseases and for the Riam's hospitalization, an Iraqi child with a malformation who risks the sight loss, in the care of Bambin Gesù Hospital.
