On 20 June, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and partner organizations around the world celebrate World Refugee Day this year, UNHCR decided to dedicate the theme "Refugees, not just numbers - real people, real needs". This move that reflects how people are refugees with our own dreams, expectations and needs. Not just numbers or statistics, but individuals and families fleeing war and persecution with real stories who are trying to start a new life in dignity and security.
Access also means making available to the company that welcomes them their experience, skills acquired and the culture of origin.
I want to celebrate this day with the poetry of the poet Cameroon Ndjock Ngan entitled "Prison".
live one life, in one city in one country, in one universe to live in one world is prison
love one friend, one father, one mother, one family, loving one person prison is
Knowing only one language, one job, one costume, one civilization, one logic is known prison
Having one body, one thought, one knowledge, one essence, is to have only one prison .
In Calabria, country who knew in the fifties migration, now you are working slowly to accommodate the Refugees and meaningful experiences are being born with the "country of reception." Countries such as Statues, and Caulonia Stignano in Locri, which were disappearing, populated only by a few elders, now for the will of their leading citizens opened their homes and given hospitality. Only this is the path of integration.
The reception as an opportunity for local development, then. Integration possible, because on a human scale adjusted to the needs of the area. This is the philosophy contained in the measure in terms of reception of asylum seekers, refugees and development sociale, economico e culturale delle comunità locali, approvato dal governo calabrese. A presentare il provvedimento il Governatore Agazio Loiero, il Vicepresidente della giunta regionale Domenico Cersosimo, il portavoce dell’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati (ACNUR) Laura Boldrini, e Gianfranco Schiavone del direttivo nazionale dell’Asgi (Associazione per gli studi giuridici sull’immigrazione). Con questa legge la Calabria si è dotata, prima tra le regioni italiane, di uno strumento che promuove l’accoglienza e l’inserimento dei rifugiati sul territorio coniugandolo allo sviluppo socio-economico delle comunità locali. Il provvedimento è nato, infatti, dalla positiva esperienza dei Comuni Locride: Statues, and Caulonia Stignano where refugees have become a real resource. An integration model jumped to hit the national news last summer when he accepted the Locride desperate appeal that came from Lampedusa, to take charge of the new arrivals, as the reception center of the island was always packed. The goal now is proposed that Calabria is "making the system" model Locride, to give impetus to the implementation throughout the region of direct intervention to get the reception and integration to develop a true integrated regional system host. In fact, the measure funds, resources regionali e comunitarie, i progetti presentati da Comuni, Province, Comunità montane ecc… finalizzati all’inserimento socio-lavorativo dei richiedenti asilo e dei rifugiati, soprattutto nei borghi interessati da fenomeni di spopolamento e da particolari sofferenze socio-economiche. Non solo: la legge sosterrà azioni che favoriscano la conoscenza reciproca tra i popoli, base fondamentale di una convivenza serena. L’esperienza insegna che tutto ciò è possibile se attuato gradualmente e attraverso la strategia dei piccoli numeri, tenendo conto cioè delle esigenze di ciascuna comunità locale. Lo strumento di programmazione degli interventi previsti dalla legge è il Piano regionale, con valenza triennale, che individua for each year, strategies, objectives, lines of intervention, those eligible, the resources and the monitoring system.
