.... in square

"In the square you learn" is his last Sunday ... May 30 greet his students with a "see you in September."
end this cycle of spring classes with an interview interesting for several reasons.
Mustapha is a guy who is from Morocco, lives and works in Porta Palazzo, knows his district and its people. Very active in the territory to the point of work also with us as a volunteer in the gazebo of the Arabic language. Here Mustapha supports and enriches the work of the teacher Elizabeth Libanore, offering students of Arabic an added value priceless: linguistic authenticity and cultural exchange.

Mustapha when did your volunteer experience with "In the square we learn and what is it?
two years attending the square on Sunday, while the project takes place. I work with Elizabeth, a teacher of Arabic, and for me it is very interesting because it helps to get to know the language and Arab culture. It 'nice to know so many people from many different countries, which have an open mind and is looking for a person who studies Arabic and Italian to deal directly with someone who comes from Morocco ... because it makes them better understand the culture.

Who are the students of Arabic on Sunday morning and study for your language?
are more Italians. Is there anyone who studies the language out of curiosity but there are some people that are in place to prepare for a trip. I know that people in Morocco have had many language problems and to avoid this are in place to study the language.

What kind of relationship is created between the students? Can you tell us of the episodes?
I always read the Arabic poetry in the gazebo. There is a gentleman from Naples who attended the course for some 'time. He loves the Arab culture and always try to meet us, this has brought many things such as meetings in libraries or in some bar in Porta Palazzo, we can translate the poems in different languages: Japanese, English, Arabic, Romanian, Naples We meet with us ... etc. .. students learn in the streets. We have read and translated poems recited by Toto. Maybe we'll make a little book that collects them all to keep as a souvenir. The important thing now is to continue!

Thanks to Mustapha for this important evidence of his active participation in life and relationships the neighborhood ... and thanks to all those who have contributed to our project in this fifth edition (volunteers, teachers, associations, museums, etc. ...) by enriching the linguistic and cultural horizons of Republic Square on Sunday morning.

We will meet in September with the autumn edition.

learn colors of "In the square you learn." Interview with TorinoFreeHands.

This week we interview "Hands Free Turin in the person of Frederick Barazza. Their role in the project" In the square you learn "is to enliven the square, approaching passers-by, children and adults in their moment of artistic expression and creative informal painting on recycled materials.
What you need to enjoy this moment in a town square? A little 'time, brushes, recycled cartons, people willing to get involved with the colors and .... witty and engaging as a guide Federico.
But better ask him to tell us who the "TorinoFreeHands, how they fit into our project and have ties with the Republic Square.

"I TorinoFreeHands are a group of friends who, since January 2006, they began creating conditions for free creative expression. We are not a committee, we are not binding. We are simply an urban tribe ... definirci.Noi love and so we create a space of freedom of expression, have the freedom to participate in other situations, to experience a moment of creativity, to represent his imagination on paper. The game is simple: a circle of paper (to recover), plastic plates in different colors, brushes, and nothing else. At the beginning there is always a bit 'of mistrust around, but a lot of curiosity in the eyes of those who pass, then suddenly a courageous first decides to let go, leave a message on one sheet, be it a drawing or a written in Arabic, Chinese or Italian. Whether it be a child, a man, a boy or a mom, anyone who stops to create something participates along with all his other companions to a game with no rules, no winners or losers. A game in which everyone is free to express oneself without fear of being judged. "

Federico, your 'intervention artistico'ha definitely an educational value, which completes the human value. What would be your opinion?
"The educational value of our artwork is that of civil coexistence, a kind of citizenship education, sensitization and awareness to the world culture to confirm the membership of a global community, to remember the'insensatezza 's indifference, the fear of racism that still pervades many sectors of our society. The added value is participation. The sharing of materials and the absence of vertical hierarchies are the foundation of individual responsibility and civic everyone should cultivate. We would simply be a metaphor for tolerance, acceptance, integration and democratic participation. "

On Sunday morning, in the context that is built around" On Piazza learns "those who participate more in this creative moment?
"All! Adult immigrants more or less young, more Moroccans, but not also lack the citizens of other nations. We participate in many men on the 30/40 years. "

We believe that now serve to aggregate, in an informal way, those who for various reasons strolling the streets of the republic on Sunday morning, and because students of the project, and because curious passers-by to understand what gives them the neighborhood.

Thanks Fred!
