Projects During the years, Cosv has managed projects in several sectors: from the more traditional ones, such as health, vocational training, agriculture, primary education, protection and environmental sustainability, to the increasingly complex projects: the launch of small and medium-sized enterprises and cooperatives, capacity building of public institutions and those created by local civil society, the protection of human rights, environment, habitat and land management for functional rehabilitation of basic public services (hospitals, schools, community centers). We have also learned to deal with humanitarian aid and emergencies (environmental and social) and with the security problems that these interventions impose to address. COSV works in several different sectors, but identify itself in a unique intervention procedure and in shared purposes: encourage local people participation, avoiding mechanisms of economic and technical dependency; improve life conditions for the weakest groups such as women, elderly and children; create conditions to permit local sustainability of the intervention, once the external funding is closed; enhance local knowledge and culture, harmonizing economic and social development. In some countries we work from decades, as in Mozambique, Bolivia, Ecuador, Zimbabwe. In others we have intervened in more recent times, as in Lebanon, Syria, Sri Lanka and Peru. Always and everywhere we have tried to comply with our guiding principle: respect and working together with our local partners, the only real actors of their future. PROJECTS LAUNCHED IN 2010: 44 Human resources: a precious patrimony In more than 42 years of activity… At least 20.000 people have been employed to carry out our projects. Every year COSV employs at least 30 cooperators (expatriate personnel) and 730 local collaborators. In Italy... All expertise being the same... We prefer to employ local personnel rather than expatriates. A strategy that rises form several choices, both ideological and practical, such as the certainty to guarantee the maximum continuity and stability of the accomplished activities on behalf of a sustainability that otherwise would rely on external factors too much. trainings and prop moments. In the two offices of Milan and Rome, expert operators guarantee the best management of all the activities thanks to an accurate and regularly reviewed organizational analysis, and to constant Friends and volunteers...

This is our main resource: men, women, people with great experience and young people beginning their working career, friends and supporters who have found, in our projects, the opportunity to directly contribute to the realization of their ideals. The Italy project Bring in our country unknown cultures; stimulate the debate on the issues of cooperation and solidarity; promote meetings and dialogue among civil society, institutions, politics, enterprises and universities to describe and draw new, possible paths for an equitable and sustainable development: this is the main thrust of our activities in Italy. We believe that such an onerous commitment shoud be managed in partnership with other NGOs and this is the reason why, during the years, we worked for the formation of synergies and networks with different no-profit subjects willing to share this effort: Link 2007 finds its origins in this networking process. Cosv activities in Italy have been characterized by innovative and original approaches, that allowed us to experience new forms of communication and opened important spaces of reflection and dialogue. Cosv organized indeed big exhibitions showing other arts and cultures and conferences within the project “Dialoghi in cammino”; and it explored new cooperation and solidarity common grounds between public and private, profit and no-profit sectors, as well as delving into co-development and environment. The aim is to approach geographically distant culture, that should positively interact and influence each other, to create a common culture of hospitality and tolerance. This is the only possible deterrent to conflicts, intolerance and exclusion. Cosv activity in Italy has always been particular for its researches, debates and awareness campaigns in the field of policies of cooperation, Italy’s role in foreign policy and some major issues that characterize the current historical moment. In collaboration with Link2007 documents and dossiers collected in the series “Dialoghi in cammino”, as well as public initiatives of discussion and dialogue, have been published. To build a strong and concrete consensus for the poorest populations and the victims of humanitarian crisis, Cosv organizes awareness and fund-raising campaigns.

ITALY PROJECT DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION ACTIVITIES 2010 GLOBAL EDUCATION: COSV ACTIVITIES IN ITALY Some of the most important activities of COSV are awareness campaigns and development education, as demonstrated by a long series of initiatives. Cosv activities have different aims: to involve people in the initiatives undertaken by the association; to ease the public approach to cooperation and solidarity projects promoted by COSV; and mainly to promote a greater understanding of the complex issues related to cooperation activity. In this context, and during the last years, we carried out several education, awareness and information activities. Among them we can mention: "Altre Arti", a program of exhibitions on world cultures and arts (painting, sculpture, photography, crafts ...) hosted in prestigious locations: Castello Sforzesco and Palazzo Reale in Milan; museums of Bologna, the public galleries of Trieste, Rovereto, Verona and Rome. “Altre Arti” has been hosted also in unconventional places such as the theater Giorgio Strehler in Milan or Villa Piccolomini in Rome. “I quattro motori d’Europa", an interregional network of NGOs and local institutions created to inform and sensitize public awareness of the MDGs in four European Regions: Lombardy, Rhone-Alpes, Baden Wuttemberg and Catalunya “Dialoghi in cammino", a project that for the first time managed to achieve a specific space for researches, studies, discussions and awareness campaigns on the issues of cooperation, Italy's role in foreign policy and some of the major issues that characterize the current historical moment. Within the many conventions, working groups and seminars organized, "Dialoghi" has always drawn a wide audience of scholars, researchers, NGOs, civil society and institutions. It has published and distributed a collection of dossiers in hundreds of copies, and it has built opportunities of dialogue among different actors in Italy and abroad. Two areas of research within the project “Dialoghi in cammino" have been particularly successful for their innovative approach and they are considered interesting also for the future agenda: the exploration of new areas of cooperation and solidarity between "public and private", "profit and no-profit”; and the effort to define and set the new profession of the operator of non-governmental cooperation. Through “Dialoghi in cammino" an important partnership has been established with a number of important international research institutions on Poverty and Hunger (IFPRI, Concern Worldwide; Welthungerhilfe) to publish and divulgate the italian edition of the Global Hunger Index "(2008-2009-2010). ”Reti di solidarietà" is a project promoted by the Colomba Association (a network of over 100 non profit associations of Lombardy Region engaged in international solidarity) and other associations. The objective of the project is to promote and encourage the relationship between NGOs and local institutions, territories and civil society and between Italian and European regions; to increase the effectiveness and the scope of cooperation activities; to promote greater awareness about good practices of NGOs in international cooperation; to encourage greater and more effective coordination and partnership with regional and interregional non-state actors. Moreover, in the past three years Cosv has organized many “innovative” initiatives in different cities with the aim of informing and debating about Cosv projects in the world. Theater, video-fiction, publishing, games, as well as new media and new languages have been used to talk about environment, health, responsible tourism, culture and creativity. Finally, among other activities in Italy, sensibilization and fund raising campaigns are important for COSV to build a strong and concrete consensus for the poorest populations and the victims of humanitarian crises. Cosv believes that such an onerous commitment shoud be managed in partnership with other NGOs and this is the reason why it worked for the formation of synergies and networks with different subjects willing to share this effort: Link 2007 finds its origins in this networking process.

Page 1 of 2 Mondo Solidale Consiglia IL TOUR 7 Riscoprire Palmyra con il "Cultural Bus" I giovani siriani scoprono la loro storia Fino al 21 novembre il COSV porterà in giro la mostra multimediale "Youth and Heritage", esibizione itinerante sull'immenso patrimonio orale del Paese. Un'iniziativa nata, più che per motivi prettamente turistici, per incoraggiare i giovani siriani a riappropriarsi della Storia che li circonda PALMYRA -La città siriana di Palmyra è una località turistica e non c'è da stupirsi: si tratta di una centro abitato di origine romana perfettamente conservato, dove la gente vive in case antichissime, circondata da reperti archeologici che fanno impallidire Roma. Il problema, qui, è che il turismo è gestito da Damasco. Questo fa sì che gli abitanti non vivano il patrimonio artistico come proprio e che abbiano una percezione lontanissima delle possibilità economiche e culturali del territorio. Il turista che passa da Palmyra è un osservatore mordi-e-fuggi. E gli abitanti non si rendono conto a pieno del potenziale che li circonda. Il COSV 1 (Comitato di coordinamento delle organizzazioni per il servizio volontario, ong italiana impegnata dal 1968 in progetti di cooperazione internazionale) ha deciso di dare una svolta a questa situazione inaugurando un nuovo modo di concepire arte e cultura. A partire da questo autunno e fino alla fine di novembre le strade della città saranno percorse dal Cultural Bus, che porterà in giro la mostra multimediale "Youth and Heritage", esibizione itinerante sull'immenso patrimonio orale del Paese, raccontato dai ragazzi del posto. Tra i sedili del bus, i "viaggiatori culturali" potranno immergersi nella storia e nella cultura siriana attraverso percorsi scanditi da canti popolari, fiabe, proverbi, ricette culinarie e danze tradizionali. "Youth and Heritage". E' dunque un'iniziativa nata, più che per motivi prettamente turistici, per incoraggiare i giovani siriani a riappropriarsi della Storia che li circonda, risollevando la coscienza locale sulla tradizione orale e i luoghi archeologici del Paese. E, soprattutto, promuovendo un flusso di turismo internazionale più sensibile e attento alla cultura. "Qui il grosso dei reperti si trova ancora sotto terra - spiega Marco Sergi, responsabile dei progetti Libano e Siria di COSV in Italia - ci sono resti in pietra nera invisibili. Questa era una zona vulcanica, costruita con questa pietra particolarissima dai romani. Si tratta di un patrimonio culturale vastissimo". Sergi racconta di teatri grossi quanto il Colosseo e di una comunità che freme per riscoprire la propria cultura e trasformarla in un'occasione di lavoro. "A Sweida - continua il responsabile della ong - c'è un bel gruppo di giovani che si sta appassionando alla Storia locale. Hanno una conoscenza enorme ma finora nessuno gli ha mai offerto un appoggio concreto. Solo ora queste persone cominciano a comprendere quanto e come tanto potenziale possa essere sfruttato". Da questa consapevolezza sono stati avviati studi in loco poi trasformati in materiale divulgativo, fino a raggiungere il risultato più importante: suscitare l'interesse del ministero dei Trasporti siriano. "A livello istituzionale - conclude Sergi - si sono dimostrati stranamente interessanti alla nostra idea di recupero e ci hanno fornito un autobus. Da qui sono nate due mostre itineranti". I finanziamenti. Arrivano dalla Delegazione dell'Unione Europea in Siria e coordinato dal COSV, il progetto è riuscito a coinvolgere molte associazioni artistiche e giovanili in Siria che hanno lavorato in particolare nelle citta d'arte di Palmyra e Sweida. Il risultato sono due mostre che faranno tappa, a bordo del bus, fra le rovine, le aree archeologiche e i monumenti. "Dopo sette mesi di lavoro con i ragazzi di Sweida e Palmyra siamo contenti di constatare che tra i giovani scorre un'incredibile energia, in grado di alimentare azioni positive" spiega Maya Al-Kateb, coordinatrice del progetto. "Se non avessero avuto a cuore la loro cultura e non avessero voluto condividere questo patrimonio con gli altri, non si sarebbero impegnati per un periodo cosi lungo e non avrebbero contribuito con cosi tanto tempo ed energia alla buona riuscita del tutto". La coordinatrice precisa che nel progetto sono coinvolte una quarantina di ragazzi tra i 16 e i 25 anni e che insieme a loro stanno lavorando anche le loro famiglie. "Si tratta di un qualcosa che coinvolge la popolazione in modo trasversale e che ha destato in tutti un grande entusiasmo. 65 visitatori al giorno a bordo dei bus per queste persone rappresentano uno stimolo fortissimo ad andare avanti", conclude. La reazione dei ragazzi. I ragazzi delle due città siriane hanno raccolto, sotto la guida dell'associazione artistica Al-Makan, la tradizione del Paese tra canzoni, fiabe e proverbi e hanno curato le pubblicazioni di un libro di cucina tradizionale, 14 giochi di carte per bambini, due libri illustrati di fiabe, un libro di giochi con oltre 50 indovinelli, due canzonieri con canti tradizionali e un libro di arie nuziali. All'inaugurazione, i primi di ottobre, sono stati proiettati in anteprima due cartoni animati realizzati da "Youth and Heritage" sull'archeologia locale: "Salma, friend of the ruins" e "Adnan, friend of the ruins". L'autobus, decorato dalla fantasia dei bambini di Palmyra sotto la guida di studenti dell'istituto d'arte locale, da Palmyra si sposterà su Arak, Homs e Deir Atieh. L'ultima tappa del viaggio sarà Damasco, il 21 novembre 2010. (04 novembre 2010) Consiglia © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA 7 persone hanno consigliato questo elemento.

They all came to attend the inauguration event of the ‘Youth and Heritage’ mobile multimedia exhibit on the culture of Sweida. MASA KATEB, BALADNA For the first time in 1,500 years, and after 14 years of being excavated, the theatre was brought to life with a play on the civilizations that rose and fell in Sweida, a traditional dance performance, and the premiere of a cartoon film on local archaeology. The theatre was not the highlight of the evening however. The youth who took part in the performances were in the spot light. ‘Youth and Heritage’ activities take place in Palmyra and Sweida and aim to raise the local com awareness of their ora and the archaeological fi around them, encoura active participation b youth in their societies, and promoting internal tourism. Al-Makan Art Association, the main sponsor of the project, has been working separately with young participan Palmyra and Sweida sin 2010, where they collec heritage (songs, tales, a erbs) and where each pant undertook researc of the elements that constitute Inte Tran their culture. Bus F u r t h e r m o r e , mob and with the help exh Swe of project partners, the French Institute for Near East Studies and the Syrian Organization for Sustainable T Tourism, the art association has assisted in the creation of two cartoon films directed by children on local archaeology. Jerky Torny, T Head of the Cooperation Department in the EU THE BUS WAS PAINTED BY LOCAL CHILDREN AND TOOK ALOT OF HARD WORK Delegation to Syria said “Through the EU Delegation’s annual Cultural Calls for Proposals, it has co-funded 26 projects in Syria since 2004. Among these 26 projects, ‘Youth and Heritage’ emphasises the importance of young creative energy in bringing cultural heritage to life. T Today we will see the innovative and attractive results when young citizens are active in their own societies.” The inauguration included a play, which was written, directed and acted by young volunteers in the project. The play, which was wildly applauded by the audience, represented the different civilizations that passed through Sweida from the Nabattians to recent history to the Great Syrian Revolution that started in Sweida. Al-Adiat Association contributed a traditional dancing performance with music playing live, and at the end, a full theatre sat for the screening of the cartoon film “Salma, friend of the Ruins”. ‘Youth and Heritage’ is a project funded by an EU annual cultural grant for the year 2010 and supported by the Ministries of Culture and Transportation. The inauguration event in Sweida of the mobile exhibit was attended by representatives of all the sponsors, in addition to the Regional Director of the Italian organization COSV, who is overseeing the implementation of the project. “We are delighted to have verified after seven month of working directly with youth from Palmyra and Sweida, that youth have so much energy in them and only need a platform to channel this energy into positive action.” Maya al-Kateb, project coordinator of ‘Youth and Heritage’ told Baladna. “If they didn’t care about their culture and sharing it with others, they wouldn’t have been committed with us for such a long period of time, nor contributed that much of their time and energy to the project.” The program joined forces with the local branches of the Students’ Union and the Red Crescent to clean the theatre and prepare it for the inauguration event. “Reviving an ancient space was not originally planned in the project, but it has been our strategy since the project’s start to use it to create as “NEXT WE’RE THINKING -AND WORKING- TO REPEAT THE PROJECT IN ALEPPO, LATAKIA AND HAMA” Culture 21 Tuesday 5 October 2010 Products of the project The project ‘Youth and Heritage’ does not not only document and assemble oral heritage, but also reproduced it in a format that is friendly to children. Its publications are: The exhibit includes publications of collected oral heritage, posters of research on elements of the local culture, produced by young volunteers involved into the project, and a cartoon film on local archaeology. Sweida for a week, then move on to Qrayya, Salkhad, Al Mshannaf, Shaqqa and Shahba, each for one week. The bus was painted by local children and took three days of hard work. The painting was supervised by one of the volunteers, Yara Jarbou, a fine arts student. “This is an amazing experience to me” she told Baladna. “Working with children has been inspiring and this whole project is just more than I can wish for.” Yara also drew the illustrations in the booklets of Sweida and Palmyra. “This success is not the end of our journey. It is the start of a new phase in which we will do better work by learning from our mistakes,” al-Kateb said in live interview on Melody FM (97.9 hz) “Next we’re thinking -and working- to repeat the project in Aleppo, Latakia and Hama.” Melody FM is covering the whole tour of the cultural buses and will do a broadcast on one of the heritage projects every weekday in its morning news section. Next Saturday in Palmyra At 5 pm, the Palmyrian Culture bus will be inaugurated in a public event, with a traditional performance by al-Badia Traditional Arts Group of the General Directorate for the Development and Management of al-Badia. The bus will be parked for a week near the museum of Palmyra, and then in a different neighbourhood for a second week, after which it will visit the village Arak, then Homs and Deir Atieh, finishing at the campus of al-Qalamoon University. Both buses will meet in Damascus on the 21st of November 2010 for another inauguration in the capital, near the National Museum (at 5 pm). The Palmyra bus will be painted by kids on the 5th and 6th of October from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, the bus will be parked near the museum of Palmyra and participation is open to public. Check page 31 listings for more information about the bus tour. - A cook book of Palmyra cuisine. - 14 traditional children games from Sweida; printed on cards with instructions on how to play each of them. - Two booklets on the traditional children tales from Sweida and Palmyra, with colourful illustrations. - A game book with riddles from Sweida, bearing more than 50 riddles laid out in questionanswer layout to help children come closer to their oral heritage. - Two booklets on traditional songs from Palmyra and Sweida. - A booklet of Sweida wedding chants. - A seven minutes cartoon film, called “Salma, friend of the ruins”. In the film, Salma (who is from Sweida) loses her grandfather and only the ruins cans lead her to him. - A short cartoon film of five minutes, called “Adnan, friend of the ruins”. In the film, Adnan (from Palmyra) finds a brochure on the ruins and magically enters it to come in contact with the civilization of his ancestors. The Small Roman Theatre hosted more than 500 guests for the inauguration, and was put into use for the first time 14 years after its excavation. The event was the first to be held in the theatre after 1500 years. A Lucca mostra di fumetti libanesi come far incontrare la diversità culturale - Repubbl... Page 1 of 2 Mondo Solidale A Lucca mostra di fumetti libanesi come far incontrare la diversità culturale Con modalità espressive che accorciano le distanze e creano spazi di confronto inedito, due giovani libanesi approdano al festival Lucca Comics and Games, la più grande fiera del fumetto italiano, con la mostra "Libano: Medio Oriente a Fumetti". di PAOLA AMICUCCI Raccontare la società multiculturale e farlo attraverso il fumetto. Con una modalità espressiva che accorcia le distanze e crea uno spazio di confronto inedito, due giovani libanesi approdano oggi al festival Lucca Comics and Games 1, la più grande fiera del fumetto italiano, con la mostra "Libano: Medio Oriente a Fumetti". Hanane Kai e Rafic Saab, vincitori nella primavera scorso a Beirut del concorso internazionale "Let's Comics: multiculturalità a fumetti", promosso dalla ong italiana COSV sono arrivati in Italia per dare voce alla realtà del loro paese utilizzando l'arte del disegno. Tra 17 comunità religiose, la questione palestinese mai risolta e i migranti a cui troppo spesso sono negati i più elementari diritti, i giovani in Libano vivono tra vecchie e nuove segregazioni: condividono città e luoghi senza incrociarsi, si alternano tra scuola, amici e quartieri senza conoscere la reciproca quotidianità. Il concorso Let's Comics. E' nato per dare alla multiculturalità nuovi strumenti come il fumetto, per stemperare stereotipi e pregiudizi tra le nuvole e i segni delle tavole e per lasciare che il disegno esprima l'emozione, crei ponti. "Adoro illustrare i miei sentimenti sulla cultura che mi circonda. Mi piace pensare di aprire gli occhi delle persone sulle cose che non hanno mai notato prima nella loro stessa cultura e le cose che danno per scontate. E penso che sia davvero ironico, visto che io stessa non sono mai uscita dal Libano" racconta Hanane. Nel campo di Shatila. La prima mostra collettiva dei lavori di Let's Comics è stata organizzata dal Cosv a luglio 2010 a Beirut, nel campo profughi palestinese di Shatila. Districandosi tra i vicoli opprimenti di un quartiere-ghetto ricordato quasi unicamente per il suo passato di violenza con la strage del 1982, la mostra ha dato respiro alla creatività realizzando un'esposizione lungo i tracciati multiculturali del fumetto e ha premiato i migliori partecipanti internazionali e libanesi, ora a Lucca con storie da raccontare e voglia di confrontarsi. "Questo viaggio a Lucca mi esporra internazionalmente a nuovi stili e tecniche, che si presenteranno sotto una prospettiva che non avrei mai potuto conoscere dal Libano" spiega Rafic, lui stesso con un background multiculturale, è nato in Venezuela da genitori Libanesi per poi ritornare a Beirut, dove ha frequentato la scuola americana. "Sarà un modo per creare un vero e proprio scambio tra fumetti italiani e libanesi". Quattro associazioni, italiane e libanesi. I due ragazzi fanno parte di un gruppo che si è incontrato per la prima volta a Beirut grazie al progetto" A Comic Competition on Multicultural Societies", promosso da quattro associazioni diverse, l'italiana COSV, e le libanesi Insan Association, Najdeh e Samandal. L'idea era di far dialogare giovani libanesi e palestinesi, ma anche etiopi, cingalesi, filippini, sudanesi e nigeriani grazie a dei laboratori gratuiti di fumetto, aperti ad aspiranti comic writer under 30. Tra linee e colori sono nati personaggi e storie: le "nuvole" sulla carta hanno messo insieme creatività ed esperienze e le distanze culturali sono andate asottigliandosi di tavola in tavola. Le difficoltà? Dare forma alle idee, rendere vivi i personaggi, trovare la luce con le ombre, non perdersi nella storia e imparare tutti i trucchi del bravo fumettista. Nell'immaginario condiviso sulla carta le tonalità della differenza interculturale sono sfumate in passeggiate sul lungomare di Beirut tra skaters, ragazze in bikini e velate, chiese volanti e amori interreligiosi, campi rom e popoli dal naso rosso, fino a navigare come barchette di carta tra pagine di giornali arabi. "Mi è piaciuto conoscere nuove persone, provenienti da altre zone del Libano, da altri paesi, di altre religioni" dice Rania, palestinese di 20 anni. "Dal workshop sono nate nuove amicizie e bellissime relazioni con persone che non avrei mai pensato di incontrare, che vanno avanti tramite continui scambi via facebook e email". Le differenze restano difficili da superare, nonostante i passi avanti, continua Rania. "Ho sempre pensato che ai libanesi non piacciono i palestinesi, e forse in fondo è davvero così. Il workshop ci ha dato però modo d conoscerci e ora ho molti amici libanesi. Ho conosciuto ragazzi immigrati in Libano e, dopo un primo momento di timidezza, siamo diventati una squadra". Oggi Hanane e Rafic a Lucca racconteranno del Libano, di cosa significa avere vent'anni in una Beirut fatta di contrasti e di conflitti mai risolti, ma anche di modernità. Insieme a loro ci saranno il dettore del Festival Giovanni Russo anche fumettisti famosi, come la disegnatrice libanese Zeina Abirached, edita in Italia da Becco Giallo Editore , nei due volumi "Mi ricordo Beirut" e "Il gioco delle rondini". Un'occasione per scoprire cosa accade oltre le sponde del Mediterraneo con uno sguardo diverso.

Che il grande Nelson Shin (il cui nome coreano è Shin Neungkyun), uno dei padri dell’animazione asiatica, dalla vita avventurosa e sorprendente (io gli ho detto che è assolutamente necessaria una sua biografia, lui mi ha risposto con gli occhi luccicanti che ci penserà: secondo me la sta già scrivendo), è arrivato negli Stati Uniti mentre George Lucas stava iniziando la sua avventura di Guerre Stellari, insomma Star Wars. E al trentenne Nelson, Lucas in persona chiese come si potevano rendere spettacolari le spade che comparivano nel film, come avrebbe potuto fare per farle diventare quelle che hanno illuminato le fantasie di milioni di spettatori in tutto il mondo. «Mi chiesero di risolvere il proble- 102 ma in un mese. Io risposi che forse ce la potevo fare. Prima imparammo a usare il rotoscopio, la macchina attraverso cui è facile rendere disegnate le scene già riprese dal vero. Ma io spiegai che non bastava, che c’era bisogno di luce fluorescente. Bisognava giocare con la stampante ottica, per inserire una luce instabile: un fotogramma con la luce più forte e quello successivo con la luce più debole e così via. In questo modo avremmo avuto l’effetto di vibrazione che rende la spada laser così viva e affascinante. Ma per gli uomini della produzione fu sorprendente il tempo necessario per risolvere il problema: non un mese, come mi era stato chiesto, perché bastò una settimana. Rimasero entusiasti dell’effetto quando lo vedemmo ls39p102-104:NUVOLE 05.qxd 24/09/2010 11:26 Pagina 103 Nelson Shin insieme in sala proiezione. Io dissi: mi sembra che vada bene, e loro risposero che andava molto più che bene, che era venuto benissimo. Allora non parlavo ancora in maniera fluente, ma capii che avrei potuto esprimere le mie emozioni in maniera più diretta. Ricordo anche che consigliai di aggiungere un suono, perché così quelle spade potevano davvero sembrare vive». Certo, anche il suono è fondamentale! Ma poi sei rimasto a lavorare alla Lucas? «No. Avevo già la mia società e nonostante siano arrivati tre o quattro volte con generose offerte di lavoro, io dissi sempre di no. In fondo Star Wars era appena uscito e non mi aspettavo potesse avere così grande successo e generare una serie di film. Ma insomma, credo sia andata bene anche così». E’ davvero una testimonianza fantastica, no? Ecco: pensate che Nelson Shin ha cominciato la sua vita avventurosa quando a 13 anni, nel 1952, se ne andò dalla Corea del Nord: la guerra tra il Sud e il Nord era iniziata due anni prima. E ha partecipato a moltissime avventure animate, dai Simpson alla Pantera Rosa (tanto per nominare le più conosciute), ha cinque case sparse per il mondo e, dopo cinquant’anni di attività, ancora tanti progetti e idee. Spero che abbia tempo anche per rispondere a qualche altra domanda che gli ho posto via e-mail. E adesso ci spostiamo dalla Corea a un’altra zona del mondo, di cui molto spesso sentiamo parlare sui mezzi d’informazione per notizie di quelle brutte, che comprendono parole come: bombe, guerra, kamikaze, missili, ecc. ecc. Insomma, ci spostiamo a Beirut, nel Libano, in quella striscia di terra mediterranea che prosegue verso est la linea tracciata sul mare dalle spiagge di Israele. Natural- mente siamo qui per un’iniziativa che riguarda i fumetti, un’iniziativa di pace, di quelle che amiamo tanto. La notizia ce la facciamo dare da Paolo Comoglio, direttore del COSV (COSV sta per Coordinamento degli Organismi di Solidarietà e Volontariato), che è una ONG di Milano (Milano non c’è bisogno di spiegare cosa sia, mentre è bene chiarire che una ONG è una Organizzazione Non Governativa, una Onlus senza scopo di lucro che concentra la sua attività nella cooperazione allo sviluppo). Paolo, ci sei? «Buongiorno, Luca. Salve a tutti, lettori di Nuvolette!». Benvenuto, Paolo. Dunque, dacci la notizia (con un tono ufficiale, naturalmente)! «Va bene. La notizia è questa: il 29 luglio scorso è stata inauguarata, all’interno del Centro Giovanile nel campo Palestinese di Shatila a Beirut, la mostra di fumetti sul tema della società multiculturale promossa dal COSV assieme alle associazioni Libanesi Insan, Najdeh e Samandal». Scusami se ti interrompo: Samandal è una bella rivista a fumetti con redazione a Bei(continua alla pagina seguente) 103 ls39p102-104:NUVOLE 05.qxd 24/09/2010 11:26 Pagina 104 Ibtissam Hassan: IRAQ Hicham Benkaddo ur: MAROCCO (segue dalla pagina precedente) Antonio Morbide lli: ITALIA rut: pubblica tavole sperimentali, strane, improvvisate, alcune delle quali davvero molto belle. Se volete farvene un’idea, visto che alcuni numeri sono consultabili gratuitamente, potete andare all’indirizzo: www.samandal.org. Scusa l’interruzione. «Figurati, era opportuna. Dunque: la mo- stra, frutto del lavoro di giovani artisti Libanesi e Palestinesi ospita anche opere di fumettisti dell’area euro-mediterranea, provenienti da Marocco, Italia, Macedonia e Olanda. Le opere esposte parlano di temi quali il dialogo nel rispetto della differenza e di stereotipi da infrangere con la forza della creatività. Insomma: i fumetti realizzati all’interno del progetto A comic competition on multicultural societies, finanziato dalla Unione Europea e dall’Istituto di Cultura Italiana a Beirut, danno voce a ragazze e ragazzi di differenti culture che vogliono trovare spazi di confronto al di là di pregiudizi e di luoghi comuni. Un messaggio forte che trova maggior risalto nella cornice della realtà quotidiana del campo». Per ora godetevi le immagini delle tavole a fumetti. La prossima settimana torneremo sull’argomento con altre immagini. Alla prossima! luca raffaelli DA Beldan Sezan: OLAN 104 IN47p022p023 Thu Nov 11 12:06:34 2010 perazione e aiuto umanitario) che prende in esame 122 Paesi in via di sviluppo, tra i fattori che determinano la fame, il più importante è la malnutrizione nei bambini sotto i due anni, ovvero un’alimentazione non solo scarsa, ma anche priva di micronutrienti essenziali per la crescita come vitamine e sali minerali, perché mangiano poco e quasi esclusivamente un solo cereale come il riso, la tapioca o la manioca. I bambini malnutriti hanno una salute cagionevole e quindi minori possibilità di andare a scuola e, di conseguenza, di trovare in età adulta un lavoro dignitoso; saranno più esposti a malattie e, se sopravvivranno, avranno alte probabilità di mettere al mondo a loro volta figli denutriti. Così come le madri che da piccole non hanno ricevuto adeguata alimentazione tendono a mettere al mondo bambini sottopeso. Per aspirare alla “promozione”, i Paesi con un alto Indice della Fame devono dedicare le loro attenzioni proprio ai bambini, dal concepimento (cioè da quando sono nella pancia della mamma) ai due anni. Dopo i due anni gli effetti negativi della malnutrizione sono in gran parte irreversibili. IN AFRICA I PEGGIORI O B I C N O U B L A IL DIRITTO A FAME PPORTO SULL RA L NE E BR OM E LUCI INI DENUTRITI MB BA I RA CO AN PI NEL MONDO: TROP I Paesi con malnutrizione a livello “allarmante” sono ventinove. La maggior parte di essi sono in Africa subsahariana e in Asia meridionale. I dieci Paesi con la situazione più grave sono tutti africani (in testa la Repubblica del Congo devastata da anni di guerre) con la sola eccezione di Haiti, dove già prima del catastrofico terremoto dello scorso gennaio le condizioni dei bambini erano terribili. Non c’è da sorprendersi per l’assenza di Afghanistan, Iraq e Somalia, Paesi dove non è neanche possibile recuperare le informazioni sufficienti ad avere un quadro preciso della malnutrizione. In alcuni paesi dell’Africa subsahariana, per esempio Burundi, Madagascar e Malawi, circa metà dei bambini presenta ritardi nella crescita (altezza inadeguata per l’età) a causa della scarsa alimentazione. Mentre in India il 42% dei bambini con meno di 5 anni è sottopeso. Eppure, si legge nel rapporto, basterebbero piccoli investimenti per cambiare radicalmente la situazione. Si calcola che ogni euro destinato a migliorare l’alimentazione dal concepimento alla nascita renderebbe cento volte tanto in termini di salute. Le organizzazioni italiane di Link 2007 ci provano da tempo a fare la loro parte. Come il Cosv (www. cosv.org), che nello Zimbabwe (foto qui a fianco), uno dei Paesi africani più colpi dall’Aids, sostiene un progetto per diversificare le colture privilegiando quelle in grado di resistere alla siccità, coltivare gli orti, insegnare anche a donne e bambini ad allevare pochi capi di bestiame.
