Giuseppe (G): my name is Giuseppe and I’m 16 years old. I come from Napoli (in the south of Italy) and I’m a member of Realtá Futura Arciragazzi association since I was a baby. Our mission is divided in many points:

– to give subjectivity to children and to building all together an educational path, of socialization, of aggregation, of birth of a new cultue, through concrete actions.
– to give subjectivity, value and dignity to our district and the existing structures, as well as to promote the concept of active citizen.
– to create and to sustain integrated actions from the different educational agencies that have an important role in the evolution of our children and guys.
– to promote and to divulge, through our daily activities, children’s rights.
