"............ Jaelson (our fellow graduated last year), attended the meeting to tell his story. The participants asked many questions Jaelson and eventually proved to be more confident to see that despite the initial difficulties that they are feeling and that are the same as the other guys have tried, in the end the rewards are many. Jailma said that since the early days is very scared because he never attended training so hard and intense. His first idea was to go home and give up the course. He says he has never been accustomed to such rigid rules. He knows that to become a "professional" must pass through this, it is necessary, but it is too difficult. Maria Veandra very afraid of the professors who are hard and serious and afraid to state his opinion. Thiago sees teachers in the figures of potential future leaders in the work. He knows that in the future will meet people like them and this is a good exercise for later life. Josiane is the most timid of the group and does not talk much. She likes the course, is already working with the group in two tourism projects. To end Jaelson left a message to the boys not to desist from the course and go to the end: "if I passed the test for entry to the course, means that I have studied, who are motivated and I can realize my dream. Means also that there were people on the waiting list and I have held the post of one of them. For this I give up. Other than that the school helps you to live and deal with personal problems, school children, families, and teachers and friends help you .........."
Sao Paulo March 27, 2010 "... . The group is less so in the first two meetings.
Thiago is already making several visits to the work of external group (SENAC, SESC).
Josiane has already presented two seminars (Event and Recreation) and next month there will be three written examinations. Fernando was elected as a representative of his group. He's happy but to be fair and this sometimes creates difficulties because some younger band mates are not very motivated. Jailma is gaining more confidence, is quieter and is adapting to the course. Maria Veandra say it is difficult, and three people in her class have given up ..........."
Sao Paulo April 24, 2010.
"........... The group is already very united and they are quiet talk and exchange experiences.
Fernando has already done tests of all the evidence and took a negative vote in the math test. Josiane has taken two examinations and one did not go very well. The theme was linked to the organization of events. For this he had to do a search in 10 companies that organize events and started with other colleagues to improve the negative vote. Thiago Jailma and have not yet done the exams, but only in the work group. The theme they worked on was "All are equal before the law." He presented two seminars referring to the matter of psychology and law.
Veandra Maria is the more outgoing, she likes to talk, it's very reflective. He said that the more time passes, the greater the needs. This is normal in your opinion, but it is not easy because there are many things to do. She was happy because two of the three girls who had retired, are back and are continuing ............."
E 'began exchanging messages between the students of Luca Pacioli Bracciano and fellow Brazilians and we are awaiting the responses of fellows paulistani e-mail students Braccianese.
2) awareness in Bracciano
The Agony The local newspaper published in the April issue, an insert of four pages (I've sent via e-mail. Pdf) outlining the goals and activities last year and this year's "Pè No Chão" and contains an article on "Water common good," one of the three topics that students of the L. Pacioli developed as part of our project.
On May 22, 2010 in the Great Hall of the Institute of Higher Education State Luca Pacioli
Bracciano meeting was held on the theme "Trade Fair". The meeting was aimed at students of Luca Pacioli long been involved in the project that is part of the Institute of POF (POF).
Councillor for Social Policies of the City of Bracciano Elena Carone introduced the meeting talking about a Braccianese experience of the "workshop of the world" a few years ago. Aldo
Piersanti (operator of the cooperative "for the Flower Fair Trade" Ladispoli), played a "lesson" on the issue by using different and exciting slides.
Vice-Dean prof. Sasso has finally stimulated and coordinated action that the students had prepared some time at the completion of the exhibition on display in March in the Augustinian cloister.
Given the success of the meeting and thanks to the sponsors Braccianese think to publish a second insert in the local newspaper The Agony of which I transcribe a preview of some songs.
"........... Choose a product, buy it and consume it are trivial acts of our daily existence. Yet, behind the products, there is always a long history of women and men, working conditions, the price determined by the importing country stronger. Often a history of exploitation and offensive to human dignity. Sometimes even failure to respect the environment and the rights of children .............
the World Shops: places of Alternative Trade.
The World Shops are a place where you build another market, where producers of the South may find hope of a decent life and where the act of consumption becomes an act of justice, where the purchase becomes a voting in favor of a more just and equitable .................."
(Julie Parente).
".... The Fair Trade In Italy:
- 485 World Shops (347 operated by cooperatives / non-profit organizations)
- 97.5% of total turnover € million (Italy is currently the third largest in Europe, preceded by the UK and Switzerland)
- 10 nonprofit organizations to import specialized
- 5,000 supermarkets sell Fairtrade products
- 55% of Italian shops opened after 2000
[data taken from: "Trade Fair: Analysis and evaluation of a new development model "created in 2006 by the Centre for Research on Cooperation (CRC) and the Department of Economics University of Milan-Bicocca ].......... .
(Enrica Zacchaeus).
"........ E 'can be a gradual return to a full market value as well as goods? For many it is a dream, for others it is only a hope, but few brave is already a reality, a small but tenacious, which is spreading in the network of World Shops, with which it promotes the culture of a fair profit for the producer and the price of goods, which also includes a quota for the social development of producing populations, located in poor areas of the planet. The success of this new style of business depends on future consumers, even by today's students and volunteers of NGOs are trying to raise awareness of Fair Trade ............"
(Mario Sasso)
Also our blog (www.penochaoromano.blogspot.com) is an information and awareness, it was duly updated with the inclusion of all panels of the exhibition on display in the Cloister of the Augustinian March 13 to 21 us, with pictures of the inauguration as well as regular communications with the association's activities.
3) Initiatives for 2009-2010
from 13 to 21 March in the cloister of the Augustinians of Bracciano (one of the most areas for exhibitions and local events) has been exposed to the photo exhibition with the enormous contrasts of Brazil and St. Paul in particular (generators of inequality and misery), with the elaborate study and research of students of Luca Pacioli, as well as with the documentation of the seven young Brazilians who graduated last school year 2009 (the year in Brazil school from January to December) and the six new fellows for the academic year 2010. The Councillors
Caroni Fabiani Elena and Antonio De Santis, Profs. Mario Sasso, Enrica and Andrea Silvestrini Zacchaeus showed the students present at (a hundred) of their interest and their applause to the efforts of our project and the exhibition in particular.
Here are two pieces written on a register of visitors:
"My heartfelt thanks to the municipal administration of Bracciano, which allows students of the L. Pacioli to make visible the great research work carried out with passion on the issues of fair trade, the social good "water" and tourism. The hope that formula is spreading, thanks to this exhibition, the sense of solidarity that has guided our students to their peers in San Paolo, the visitors will certainly appreciate the beautiful pictures and graphics very significant .- L. Institute Pacioli prof. Sasso. "
" The name of the beauty of the diversity of worlds we want to continue to learn from all reality, a little thought from us! Come on! "
(Councillor for Education and Social Policy - the President of the Council for Migration Policies District F3) A student
L. Pacioli has read some excerpts of e-mails sent by students to fellows Braccianese paulistani, here's one:
"Dear Jessica (tour operators)
....... As we have said before many times we do not realize they have guys who had everything in life. A family that supports us with great love, a social situation that allows us to be happy and especially the opportunity to attend trials, a process fundamental to our growth, and that unfortunately many of you as your other peers is denied. The way out of this onerous situation where you are, we believe it is just study, study to try to give a better future for your children ......."
Twenty students of the L. Pacioli, in turn, acted as a guide to some three hundred visitors that have taken place in eight days and have also offered a significant economic contribution to the paulistani scholarships to students for school year 2010.
Now we are preparing for future activities: we will be a gazebo like last year at the festival intercultural (26 and 27 June 2010) and the party Agrarian University (and on terms to be agreed by July).
I hope I have not forgotten anything important, I remain available to supplement or correct the information and any clarification to the required maximum flow of information between us.
A dear greeting from Rome Angels and Star Leardini
