General Information
Il Comitato Territoriale di Ancona opera da oltre 15 anni nel territorio delle Marche, sia capillarmente attraverso i circoli della città e della provincia, sia globalmente attraverso iniziative che riguardano l’ambito culturale, sociale, ambientale attraverso le linee guida del pacifismo, della lotta ad ogni tipo di razzismo culturale o sessuale e delle pari opportunità tra uomini e donne. L'associazione è composta da 3 persone impiegate stabilmente e dagli operatori del Servizio Civile Nazionale che annualmente sono ospitati presso l'ente. A livello finanziario, Arci Ancona è sostenuta dalle quote associative, dai proventi derivanti dagli eventi a pagamento organizzati lungo tutto l'anno e da contributi pubblici eventualmente erogati a sostegno delle proprie attività. Arci Ancona opera durante tutto l’anno lungo direttrici che investono la musica, il cinema, la poesia, la letteratura e le arti visive (pittura, scultura, video, etc..). Questo si è tradotto in una miriade di iniziative, piccole e grandi, estemporanee o articolate: rassegne musicali e cinematografiche, concerti, mostre, incontri culturali, rassegne di poesie, dibatti, etc. Nella realizzazione di attività e progetti, Arci Ancona persegue l'obiettivo di fare sistema con l'associazionismo marchigiano esistente, al fine di mettere in rete risorse e competenze e creare occasioni di confronto e di collaborazione. Per questo motivo, molti degli appuntamenti targati Arci spesso sono presentati in sinergia con altre associazioni, o fanno parte di programmazioni artistiche e culturali condivise.
Mission and Objectives

Uno degli obiettivi prioritari di ARCI Ancona è quello di inserire le tematiche culturali nella prospettiva di crescita e di formazione dei nuovi cittadini, per la costruzione di nuovi modelli di vita e per la qualità dell’esistenza delle comunità locali, ancor di più oggi nel tempo della comunicazione e della produzione globale. Una scelta che, senza escludere l’ambito professionale della cultura, privilegia in primis la scelta di promozione sociale, di liberazione degli individui, di responsabilità rispetto all’impatto delle scelte, di difesa dei luoghi della socialità reale, di rifiuto della monocultura imperante e di ogni tentativo di omologazione.
L'inserimento in un network internazionale di operatori che si occupano di cooperazione internazionale rappresenta attualmente uno degli obiettivi prioritari che l'associazione persegue.

Main Projects / Activities

A livello nazionale, tra le attività ed i progetti ideati e realizzati nel corso degli anni da Arci Ancona ricordiamo in questa sede:
> rassegna musicale itinerante "Controcanto", organizzata in collaborazione con la Provincia di Ancona che vede come protagonista la canzone d'autore;
> gestione dell'Arena Cinematografica Estiva nel Comune di Ancona e Chiaravalle;
> festival "Sconcerti", che evidenzia lo stretto legame che unisce la musica alle altre discipline artistiche - in particolare cinema e letteratura;
> gestione della stagione estiva dell'Anfiteatro del Consorzio Parco del Conero a Sirolo(AN);
> festival di musica e cultura elettronica "Acusmatiq".
A livello internazionale, ARCI Ancona è stata partner di diversi progetti internazionali di cooperazione culturale:
> progetto "Adriatico Mediterraneo - Klezmer", che dal 2005 promuove scambi culturali ed artistici con i Balcani
> progetto "European Adriatic Cultural Network" volto a favorire gli scambi di risorse umane, di idee, di conoscenze nel settore artistico-culturale e della pianificazione culturale nell’area Euroadriatica

Mission and Objectives

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a key document in all our local and international activities for disseminating knowledge of children's rights among minors, young people and adults. The core objective pursued by Arciragazzi is the social inclusion by shaping access to resources and opportunities for all young people (14/30 aged) including youth with few opportunities, minors in care system, youth with migrant background, LGBT young people.
From 2011,due to the constant and deep cooperation with Shannara Social Cooperative dealing with minors at risk, unaccompanied foreign minors and trafficked girls, we started working in deep on topics related to migration and intercultural dialogue by keeping always an eye to the route of youth immigration with a geopolitical approach - first with partners from Balkans and Oriental neighbouring Countries and then with Euro-Mediterranean countries and Africa - for promoting HRE by empowering and enhancing youth social inclusion path. The know-how acquired in the design activities and projects within the Euro-Mediterranean framework allowed us to go through different topics and to encourage young people to be the protagonist and motivate them to be agents of social change. Arciragazzi has developed good practice in the promotion of a cohesive society, allowing to broaden knowledge, providing opportunities for minors and young people (autochtones and migrants) to gain experience outside the local context; to allow adults professional updating dealing with youth; building strategic partnerships for the implementation and study of good practices of interventions in the migration area, in particular unaccompanied foreign minors and young migrants, and the services necessary to achieve a good reception to the local context of the newly. Then, this spectrum of actions has allowed us to build a specific identity at National level (Arciragazzi counts about 50 youth centres located in different Italian region/cities)and from different private and public bodies.
"Our Gold" Youth Exchange has been selected as "best practice" for the BpE (Becoming a part of Europe) by the Italian ANG for international activities with impact on young migrants, asylum seekers and refugees inside the local community, using the principles and approaches of non-formal learning and representing youth work experiences and practices as a tool for social inclusion.
Arciragazzi Portici is the territorial antenna for No Hate Speech Network, it's a member at ENAR (European anti-racism network) and it's a representative at Municipality of Portici for the Equal Opportunities Territorial Commission.

Main Projects / Activities

2019.28 March/still ongoing: “Le Rotte del Gusto” (The Route of Taste)
The project focuses on the achievement of Unaccompanied Foreign minors’ autonomy through the integrated temporary guardianship. relational and social inclusion processes will give these young people the tools to play a more and more active role in the host community, enabling them to enter the labor market and live an autonomous life. Arciragazzi follows the inclusion path and the activities related to the communication for facilitating their integration

2020, 11 January: “Immigration and reception: Orientation & Gender Identity”(Portici, Napoli)

Arciragazzi, in June, started to promote the Festival through its National and International network and a youth group of 8 people with different background, took place as jury along with other young people of different NGOs to evaluate the short movies participating to the call.
2019, 25 November: International Day for the eradication of violence against women The day was characterized by two meetings. The first meeting was that of with a group of young people from different countries who discussed about the analysis of the words hurting them when comes to discrimination, gender equality and gender-based violence.
The second one was structured within a simulation activity scheduled for the XI HUMAN RIGHTS FESTIVAL IN NAPLES - YOUTH session. The vision of three videos gave us the opportunity to "read" the hidden messages and of which we are the bearers (sometimes involuntarily) on discrimination, gender inequality and gender violence.
2019, 15 Novembre-15 June 2020: ESC – European Solidarity Corps: CROSSING VIEW IV
Coordinator; ESPLAIS CATALAN
«Crossing views» is based on the values of mutual learning and on the idea that we are more creative and innovative in intercultural environments. In this sens, this project will give intercultural learning opportunities to volunteers so they can improve their work as youth workers but it will also focus on the learning benefits that the hosting organisation can get of this cooperation.
Countries: Spain, Italy.
2019, 23/29 September: Engagement of Women in Politics and Entrepreneurship (Beirut, Lebanon)
Organized by Italian National Agency of Erasmus + Youth in cooperation with SALTO-YOUTH EuroMed, French National Agency of Erasmus +, UK National Agency and GIZ Lebanon (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH) and local NGOs and Institutions
The meaningful participation of women in national, local, and community leadership roles has become an important focus on global development policy. Still, some may ask why it matters if women become political leaders, elected policymakers, or civil society activists. Why does the world need more women involved in all aspects of the political process? Women's political participation results in tangible gains for democracy, including greater responsiveness to citizen needs, increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines, and a more sustainable future.
Countries: Youth in Action Programme countries, Southern Mediterranean countries
2019,4 May: L’OTTO MARZO SEMPRE
Presentation of the book “Un’altra vita” (Another life) by Filomena Lamberti, victim of domestic violence.

and training in the field of gender and in particular focusing on the phenomenon of violence against women and addressed to young people.
2018, September to 2020 February: KA2 - UpGrad_ME
Project funded by the European Commission Erasmus + Directorate of General Education and Culture
UpGrad_Me is a project whose aim was to develop contents capable to enhance migrant youth employability by building their capacity. The motto “self-branding through a Video CV using your mobile phone" was the acknowledgement by the partners involved of the fact that migrant youths at risk of social exclusion and poverty do not possess a computer, but have all a smart phone, whose potentials are ignored for low awareness in digital literacy. So, included in the learning outcome of the training is the capacity to harness the power of their mobile phone, an element which was also one of the objectives of the project.
Countries: Malta, Italy, Spain

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Our association is ran by autochtones and young people with different background, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation and identity.
We can put at disposal our know how especially for the intercultural competences and partecipative youth process.
Then the contribution can be "translated" in new local projects so to get large our ray of action and to be more effective at local level.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

It's a great opportunity for my association and for my community to have new resources not only in term of founds but also in terms of new partners join ALF Network for implement and sharing best practice, to exchange competences, skills and experiences.
Then some NGOs, already ALF members, suggested us to be in this network because of great opportunity to go in deep on long terms activities more than other founds.

General Information
Arcus is a not-for-profit organisation, based in the town of Carpi - in Emilia Romagna region. Arcus was founded in 2006 by a group of 6 people with years-long experience in community social activities. Today Arcus counts 22 active members, volunteering at the association throughout the implementation of its activities. Its members include youngsters, students, people interested in culture and sensitive to social issues. Arcus works as a network for creative production, reflection and cultural exchange, establishing a cross-subject position.  Arcus develops an attitude for intervention in social issues. The main fields of action for Arcus are: civil society, social inclusion, youth, women’s rights equal opportunity, art and culture as effectiveness tools to promote social cohesion and training through art. Among its main activities and productions: editorial projects, magazines, contemporary art and photo exhibitions; lectures, seminars, symposium and research on social topics, talk and walk tours; urban interventions; international project, courses.
Mission and Objectives

The common thread which connects all of our developed and implemented activities and projects, and which is also our mission, is the support and special concern we have for women and their world, therefore everything that involves them:  rights, work, training, motherhood, children, schools, nurseries, family, business and management, entrepreneurship, art, culture, domestic management, marriage, domestic violence, sexual harassment, equal rights, fashion, cooking, cleaning, gardening and money management.
The experience that Arcus wants to bring in the project is related to the participation at the European project called “4WOMEN”.
This project is carried out by a Liyakat Association - project leader from Turkey - with three Turkish partners Konak Municipality, Dokuz Eylul University Graduate School of Social Science - the Department of European Union Studies and two Italian partners ARCUS Association and WORK IN PROGRESS.  The Municipality of Polpenazze also took part to some activities, without budget.
4WOMEN originates from the need to disclose the problem of violence against women in Turkey and in Italy in terms of its prevalence, incidence, rate and nature. This is an important topic that still needs further investigation. Women rarely disclose what has happened to them and even more rarely report to the police or seek help in the crisis centers or other social services. Both, citizens at individual level and organized Civil Society at political and general level, should ensure that society implements the necessary changes. The role of Civil Society is crucial in this respect, offering the opportunity to better meet the needs of the involved regions by providing support to Civil Society development and dialogue. 4WOMEN focuses on the areas of intervention of capacity building to fight VAW, leading to a transfer of knowledge and the set-up of a new trans-national network, supporting socio-economic CSOs playing the crucial role in the uptake, implementation and monitoring of the socio-economic acquits.
4WOMEN is foreseen as a tool to support social services to contrast VAW and improve their social inclusion. This phenomenon is recognized and considered by international organizations such as the UN and the EU as violence in general and it represents one of the most common violations of human rights; as a matter of fact it threatens the individual freedom and psycho-physical integrity of women and it is a worldwide spread problem, not yet properly acknowledged and reported.  Arcus is now also involved in the project 4WOMEN2 which addresses training needs for social workers dealing with women victims of violence.
