<p>The migration crisis, with all that entails, has long touched the heart of Europe: Brussels.</p>
<p>The Maximillian park, a few steps from the Gare du Nord, has become its symbol. For better or for worse.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14775" style="width: 865px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-14775" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_032_.jpg" alt="AA2018_#guessgetgive_21_FEB_032_" width="855" height="570" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Populated by a high number of asylum seekers mostly from Africa who arrived here after the closure of "the Jungle" of Calais, France, in a short time managed to catalyze the worst but also, luckily, the best this city can express.</p>

<p>As in many other European countries, the rhetoric and populist anti-immigrant narrative, even political, alternates with spontaneous gestures of solidarity of Belgian citizens who, however, do not make it on the mainstream media.</p>
<p>I was lucky enough to witness the latter.</p>
<p>Let's start from the facts, from what I saw a couple of nights ago, in the middle of the anomalous wave of Siberian frost that hit Brussels, certainly not a lucky place from the climatic point of view.</p>
<p>The Maximillian park is always very dark in the evening and it is even more so because it is surrounded by modern high-tech high-rise buildings that make it even more dark. Around 8/9 pm it gets populated with a multitude of refugees, asylum seekers, more or less regular immigrants and many Belgian volunteers. Some known NGOs (few, to be honest, apart from the Red Cross) but above all private citizens, young people, elderly ones, girls, boys, professionals. They bring hot soup, prepares coffee, distribute warm and clean clothes, offer health care.</p>
<p>Others simply chat with those who only need to be heard.</p>
<p>I was there with my friend Patrick Mestdagh, a well-known Belgian antiquarian, who decided to do something with a group of friends.</p>
<p>3 or 4 times a week, in turn, they go to the park and offer hospitality to some asylum seekers in an apartment put at their disposal by a friend. And like them, so many other people started doing it. They offer a safe and heated environment for one night, a warm meal, new clothes and the security of escaping the polar cold.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14782" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14782" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_065_-300x200.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Here, this is what I saw last night. A bustle of good people coordinated by spontaneous volunteer associations that offer hospitality and humanity to those poor desperate people.</p>
<p>Ok, now you will tell me that "desperate" is not a fact, that it is my personal assessment. And since we live sad and vulgar times in which the facts must be separated from the opinions, this is not allowed.</p>
<p>And yet ...</p>
<p>And yet, talking to many of them the other night, I listened to dozens of stories about two-year-long journeys, of torture at the various national borders in Africa, of tragedies (difficult to mimic their gesture that indicated the slaughtering) on Libyan shores to be able to board a boat to cross the sea and reach the Italian shores. And every time, every damn time, I asked them if - knowing what they would meet and their current conditions - they would leave their home anyways, the answer was always: yes, of course.</p>
<p>This is a fact. And I call it desperation.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14784" style="width: 869px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class=" wp-image-14784" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_084_.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="859" height="573" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Fortunately, the reaction of the Belgians is much better than what they want us to believe and there are people like Patrick and his friends who do so much, in silence.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14800" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14800" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_151_-300x200.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>

<p>It is a way to be with all of them, in the evening, at the Maximillian park here in the heart of Europe.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>La crise migratoire, avec tout ce que cela implique, a longtemps touché le cœur de l'Europe: Bruxelles.</p>
<p>Le parc Maximillien, à quelques pas de la gare du Nord, en est devenu le symbole. Pour le meilleur ou pour le pire.</p>
<p>Peuplé par un grand nombre de demandeurs d'asile venus pour la plupart d'Afrique et arrivés ici après la fermeture de la "Jungle" de Calais, la France a réussi à catalyser le pire mais aussi, heureusement, le meilleur de cette ville.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14776" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-14776" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_043_.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Comme dans beaucoup d'autres pays européens, le discours rhétorique et populiste anti-immigré, voire politique, alterne avec des gestes spontanés de solidarité des citoyens belges qui, cependant, ne font pas partie des médias grand public.</p>
<p>J'ai eu la chance d'être témoin de ce dernier.</p>
<p>Partons des faits, de ce que j'ai vu il y a quelques nuits, au milieu de la vague anormale de gel de Sibérie qui a frappé Bruxelles, certainement pas un endroit chanceux du point de vue climatique.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14771" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img class="wp-image-14771 size-medium" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_024_-300x200.jpg" alt="Bruxelles, 21 February 2018 The Maximiliaanpark in Brussels is  a new stop for refugees wanting to get to the UK after the dismantling of the Calais camp in France (aka The Jungle).

<p>Le parc Maximillien est toujours très sombre le soir et d'autant plus qu'il est entouré de gratte-ciel high-tech modernes qui le rendent encore plus sombre. Vers 8 heures et demie, il est peuplé d'une multitude de réfugiés, de demandeurs d'asile, d'immigrants plus ou moins réguliers et de nombreux volontaires belges. Quelques ONG connues (peu, pour être honnête, à part la Croix-Rouge) mais surtout des particuliers, des jeunes, des personnes âgées, des filles, des garçons, des professionnels. Ils apportent de la soupe chaude, préparent du café, distribuent des vêtements chauds et propres, offrent des soins de santé.</p>
<p>D'autres parlent simplement avec ceux qui ont seulement besoin d'être entendus.</p>
<p>J'étais là avec mon ami Patrick Mestdagh, un antiquaire belge bien connu, qui a décidé de faire quelque chose avec un groupe d'amis.</p>
<p>3 ou 4 fois par semaine, à tour de rôle, ils vont au parc et offrent l'hospitalité à des demandeurs d'asile dans un appartement mis à leur disposition par un ami. Et comme eux, tant d'autres personnes ont commencé à le faire. Ils offrent un environnement sûr et chauffé pour une nuit, un repas chaud, de nouveaux vêtements et la sécurité d'échapper au froid polaire.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14774" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-14774 size-full" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_031_.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Ici, c'est ce que j'ai vu la nuit dernière. Un mouvement de bonnes personnes coordonné par des associations bénévoles spontanées qui offrent l'hospitalité et l'humanité à ces pauvres gens désespérés.</p>
<p>Ok, maintenant vous me direz que "désespéré" n'est pas un fait, que c'est mon évaluation personnelle. Et puisque nous vivons des temps tristes et vulgaires où les faits doivent être séparés des opinions, ceci n'est pas permis.</p>
<p>Et encore ...</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14783" style="width: 381px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img class="wp-image-14783 " src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_079_-300x200.jpg" alt="Bruxelles, 21 February 2018 The Maximiliaanpark in Brussels is  a new stop for refugees wanting to get to the UK after the dismantling of the Calais camp in France (aka The Jungle).

<p>Et pourtant, l'autre soir, en parlant à beaucoup d'entre eux, j'ai écouté des dizaines d'histoires de voyages de deux ans, de tortures aux diverses frontières nationales en Afrique, de tragédies (difficiles à imiter leur geste qui indiquait comment les gardiens aux frontières avaient la gâchette facile) sur les rives libyennes, à la recherche d'un bateau de fortune pour pouvoir tenter la traversée de <a class="_fcj" href="https://www.facebook.com/#">la mer</a> vers les côtes italiennes.. Et à chaque fois, à chaque instant, je leur ai demandé si - sachant ce qu'ils allaient rencontrer et quelles étaient leurs conditions actuelles - ils quitteraient leur maison de toute façon, la réponse était toujours: oui, bien sûr.</p>
<p>C'est un fait. Et je l'appelle le désespoir.</p>
<p>Heureusement, la réaction des Belges est bien meilleure que ce qu'ils veulent nous faire croire et il y a des gens comme Patrick et ses amis qui font tant, en silence.</p>

<p>La crisi migratoria, con tutto quello che comporta, ha toccato da tempo il cuore d' Europa, Bruxelles. </p>
<p>Il parco Maximillian, a pochi passi dalla Gare du Nord, ne e' diventato il simbolo. Nel bene e nel male. Popolato da un alto numero di richiedenti asilo in gran parte provenienti dall'Africa e arrivati qui dopo la chiusura della "giungla" di Calais, e' riuscito in poco tempo a catalizzare quanto di peggio ma anche, per fortuna, quanto di meglio questa città sa esprimere.  </p>
<p><div id="attachment_14767" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-14767" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_004_.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Come in molti Paesi europei, il retorico populismo anti immigrati, anche politico, si alterna a gesti spontanei di accoglienza dei cittadini belgi che, pero', non fanno notizia. </p>
<p>Ho avuto la fortuna di assistere proprio a questi ultimi.</p>
<p>Partiamo dai fatti, da quello che ho visto un paio di sere fa, nel bel mezzo dell'ondata anomala di gelo siberiano che ha colpito anche questa città, non certo fortunata dal punto di vista climatico.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14778" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14778" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_053_-300x200.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Il parco Maximillian e' sempre molto buio la sera e lo e' ancora di più perché e' circondato da palazzoni moderni di uffici high-tech che ne fanno risaltare ancora di più l'atmosfera cupa. Verso le 20/21 si popola di una moltitudine di rifugiati, richiedenti asilo, immigrati più o meno regolari e di tanti volontari belgi. Alcune ong conosciute (poche, a dir la verità, a parte la Croce Rossa) ma soprattutto privati cittadini, giovani, anziani, ragazze, ragazzi, professionisti. Chi porta zuppa calda, chi prepara il caffe', chi distribuisce vestiti caldi e puliti, chi offre assistenza sanitaria. Chi, semplicemente, chiacchiera con chi ha solo bisogno di essere ascoltato.</p>
<p>Ci sono stato con il mio amico Patrick Mestdagh, noto antiquario belga, che con un gruppo di amici ha deciso di fare qualcosa. 3 o 4 volte alla settimana, a turno, si recano al parco e offrono ospitalità ad alcuni richiedenti asilo in un appartamento messo loro a disposizione da un amico. E come loro, hanno cominciato a farlo tante altre persone. Offrono per una notte un ambiente sicuro e riscaldato, un pasto caldo, dei vestiti nuovi e la sicurezza di fuggire il freddo polare. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_14776" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14776" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_043_-300x200.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Ecco, questo e' quello che ho visto l'altra sera. Un via vai di brave persone coordinate da associazioni spontanee di volontari che offrono ospitalità e umanita' a quei poveri disperati.</p>
<p>Ok, adesso mi direte che "disperato" non e' un fatto, che e' una mia valutazione. E poiché viviamo tempi tristi e volgari in cui i fatti devono essere separati dalle opinioni, questo non e' concesso. </p>
<p>Eppure... Eppure parlando con molti di loro l'altra sera ho ascoltato decine di racconti di viaggi lunghi anche 2 anni, di torture ai vari confini nazionali in Africa, di tragedie (difficile qui mimare il loro gesto che indicava lo sgozzamento) sulle coste libiche per poter salire a bordo di un barcone sfidando il mare. E ogni volta, ogni santa volta, che gli domandavo se - sapendo quello cui sarebbero andati incontro e le loro attuali condizioni - sarebbero partiti lo stesso mi rispondevano, sempre, certamente si.</p>
<p>Questo e' un fatto. E io lo chiamo disperazione.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14800" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-14800" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/aa2018_guessgetgive_21_feb_151_.jpg" alt="ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C" width="1000" height="667" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ph: Antonio Amendola/S4C</p></div>
<p>Per fortuna, la reazione dei belgi e' molto migliore di quello che ci vogliono far credere e ci sono persone come Patrick e i suoi amici che fanno tanto, in silenzio.</p>

<p>Le immagini che vi mostriamo non sono dei ritratti di un "presepe qualunque" poiché questi ragazzi per essere considerati come ragazzi normali "qualunque" devono fare qualcosa di eccezionale per attirare l'attenzione di una società che li esclude.</p>
<div> </div>
<div>E' una storia che ci racconta la nostra <a href="http://cacciagliaphotography.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Roberta Cacciaglia</span></a> (S4C Bruxelles ma di ritorno a Roma qualche giorno durante le vacanze natalizie).</div>

<p>L’iniziativa è stata presentata per la prima volta domenica 18 dicembre, alla presenza di tanti visitatori, grandi e piccoli ed ha avuto il suo culmine con l’appuntamento aperto a tutti nel pomeriggio del 6 e 8 gennaio con la presenza di RAI TV e la delegata della Sindaca Virginia Raggi, Maria Agnese Catini.</p>
<div class="gmail_default">​Questo  è l'unico Presepe Vivente a Roma ambientato in una vera fattoria nel cuore della città!</div>

<p>Il progetto è realizzato grazie anche ai numerosi partner che hanno sostenuto direttamente la cooperativa Spazi Immensi nell'organizzazione dell’evento, come la Rete delle Fattorie Sociali, Confagricoltura, la comunità riabilitativa di Villa Letizia, l’Arciconfraternita S. Maria Odigitria dei Siciliani egli Eroi di RES Ciociaria.</p>

<p>In a wonderful City Farm in the center of Rome, “La Fattorietta”, a unique Living Nativity was played by Spazi Immensi Cooperativa Sociale Onlus. Placed in a real stable under the powerful St Peters' Dome with special protagonists, patients from Villa Letizia, a rehabilitative community that fosters social reintegration through sport, culture, agriculture and art.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-14651" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017cacciaglia_presepevivente_008.jpg" alt="2017Cacciaglia_PresepeVivente_008" width="669" height="446" />This exceptional event started the 18<sup>th</sup> December 2016 with the presence of many visitors, kids, families, journalists and personalities, giving women and men, margins of our competitive society, the chance to be in the city's spotlight, surrounded by animals and nature.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-14653" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017cacciaglia_presepevivente_012-200x300.jpg" alt="2017Cacciaglia_PresepeVivente_012" width="151" height="227" />They represented an emotional Nativity which symbolize for all (Christians and not) a joyous paean to life and love, that reminds us that, beneath the veneer of race, religion, nationality, and all kinds of differences, we are all members of a universal family. We want to celebrate Christmas as the victory of light over darkness, the triumph every person of good will feels when our innate warmth and compassion rout our tendencies toward selfishness and malice.</p>
<p>This special Living Nativity is part of a wider project aimed to social integration of fragile people through daily activities of horticulture and cleaning maintenance of the streets of Rome. We want to celebrate Christmas not so much as the recognition of a divine child’s birth but as the recognition of a divine essence in all of us. Every person with his straights and weaknesses can have a role in the society and segregation has never been a solution.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="pl-14153"><div class="panel-grid" id="pg-14153-0" ><div class="panel-grid-cell" id="pgc-14153-0-0" ><div class="so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce panel-first-child" id="panel-14153-0-0-0"><h3 class="widget-title">Da Bruxelles, una storia che ne contiene tante</h3><div class="textwidget"><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">- find the english story below - </span></p>
<p>Come sapete, S4C sta cercando di raccontare le storie rifugiate di chi scappa dalla paura e dalla distruzione. Cerchiamo di farlo senza retorica e con una narrativa positiva. E, soprattutto, partiamo dal presupposto che la parola "rifugiato" sia un aggettivo e non un sostantivo. Chi arriva qui, prima era "altro". Purtroppo per molti, troppi, un rifugiato smette di essere ciò che era e diventa "semplicemente" un rifugiato, un numero, una statistica e - in ultima analisi - un problema.</p>
<p>Certo, l'enorme flusso è diventato a buona ragione un'emergenza europea e deve essere affrontata non solo socialmente ma anche politicamente. Ma a noi - che siamo raccontastorie - piace raccontare le storie che si rifugiano da noi. Cercando magari quelle di chi - prima - era un creativo e ora non riesce più ad esserlo. A chi, di storie, ne raccontava, e vorrebbe continuare a farlo. Di chi aveva talento e ora non ha i mezzi e le condizioni per coltivarlo e contribuire - magari - ad integrarlo nella nostra società.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14170" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/12140559_917224075037943_683132926489512697_n-300x200.jpg" alt="12140559_917224075037943_683132926489512697_n" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>E' per questo che stiamo cercando di incontrare giovani rifugiati di talento con storie da raccontare. Ovunque. Lo facciamo da tempo a Roma nella nostra Casa dei Raccontastorie e stiamo cominciando a farlo anche qui a Bruxelles, dove i drammatici episodi degli ultimi giorni stanno facendo piombare la società in un pericoloso antagonismo "noi contro loro". </p>
<p>Quando il pericolo è reale, avere paura è un diritto ma è anche una scelta. E per noi che abbiamo scelto di raccontare piccole storie, anche controcorrente, farlo è un dovere. Come lo è dare una chance a chi se lo merita.</p>
<p>Ecco, recentemente ho incontrato due belle storie. Lui si chiama Sultan, ha 22 anni e viene da Aleppo. Lì era un fotografo freelance e aveva da poco cominciato una promettente carriera, prima di rifugiarsi a Bruxelles con la sua macchina fotografica piena di storie.</p>
<p>Lei si chiama Rand, ha 21 anni e viene da un paesino vicino Damasco. Studiava musica prima di scappare dalla guerra e rifugiarsi, pochi mesi fa, a Bruxelles.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_14174" style="width: 294px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img class="size-medium wp-image-14174" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/12910637_1010245629069120_147478782_n-284x300.jpg" alt="Sultan ad Aleppo" width="284" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sultan ad Aleppo</p></div>
<p>Entrambi, adesso, sono volontari in un'associazione non profit che fornisce supporto psicologico a bambini rifugiati e fanno parte del gruppo di S4C Bruxelles. Sono stati accolti entusiasticamente da tutti noi e li formeremo per consentirli un'integrazione - anche professionale - più rapida in una città che già sentono come la loro.</p>
<p>Ho deciso, questa volta, di chiedere a Rand di raccontare il suo amico Sultan. E' la prima volta che Rand scrive un articolo giornalistico ed è stata brava. Ed è la prima volta che Sultan parla di se' da quando è arrivato. </p>
<p>Vi lascio a queste due belle storie, chiedendovi un aiuto per continuare a farlo. Sultan ha bisogno di nuova apparecchiatura fotografica per ricominciare a lavorare. Ci aiutate? Avete una macchina fotografica che non usate o delle lenti che volete cambiare? Fatecelo sapere.</p>
<p>Serviranno sia a lui sia a quelli che formeremo qui a Bruxelles.</p>
<p>Ci sono tante storie rifugiate. E tante ragazze e ragazzi che vorrebbe essere loro stessi a raccontarle e raccontarsi meglio di quanto non stiamo facendo noi che - spesso - a stento li "vediamo".</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">- in italiano più sotto - </span></p>
<p>Sultan Kitaz is a Syrian freelance photographer from Aleppo. Six months ago he arrived in Belgium with a camera loaded with stories of more than 4 years of war.</p>
<p>Four attempts it took him and his camera to cross the Mediterranean Sea by a rubber boat. Three times the Turkish police caught the group of refugees of which he was part. One time the trafficker even left him behind in the forest.</p>
<p><img class="alignright  wp-image-14149" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_073-683x1024.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_073" width="253" height="380" />After that he arrived to the Greek Island of Mytilini, alive and well. He then slogged through south Europe, trying to cross the borders.</p>
<p>After weeks of walking he arrived in Hungary. Here the police put him together with hundreds of other refugees in busses, the windows darkened, without food or water, for a degrading 16 hours until they sent them to the border with Austria. From this point, the trip to Belgium was not so difficult anymore. On the first of October, he arrived in Brussels with his camera that had so many stories to tell.</p>
<p>Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis Sultan was driven to photograph scenes of the conflict that surrounded him. Soon he started corresponding with channels and newspapers.</p>
<p>In 2012 he bought a professional camera and started publishing his photos on the social media. A photo he took one year later got published in many newspapers and went viral on the social media, still being an amateur photographer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-14169" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sultankitaz.jpg" alt="SultanKitaz" width="627" height="418" /></p>
<p>Several international press agencies contacted him. Until he left Syria in August 2015, he freelanced for Reuters.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-14156" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_100.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_100" width="650" height="434" /></p>
<p>Today Sultan is seeking to pick up the thread as a photographer in Belgium. He started photographing in the streets and also he is photographing as a volunteer with the association <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SB.overseas.charity/?fref=ts" target="_blank">SB Overseas</a></span> that provides psychological helps for refugee kids.</p>
<p>On his own, he is trying to learn English.</p>
<blockquote><p>I started photographing at the age of twenty. Today I achieved a reasonably good level… So where will I be in ten years from now? I seem to be fairly talented, I believe in my abilities and I am ambitious. Despair is a word I banned from my vocabulary</p>
</blockquote>
<p>He wants to talk about his life, about four years suffering. He also wants to be part of the new society he came into, sharing ideas and a view on life that is quite close to his.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-14146" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_052-200x300.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_052" width="200" height="300" />At the age of eighteen I moved to Damascus to study music and sound engineering in the Higher Institute for Music and Dramatic Arts. Because of the continuous attacks to the old city center and to the school, I quit after one and a half year. I started teaching to make a living.</p>
<blockquote><p>In August 2015 I saw no other option then leaving my homeland.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On the shore of Turkey I stepped in a rubber boat, like many had done before me and many more would do after me, well aware of the danger.</p>
<p>Landing on the beach of Greece after 5 hours was a huge relief. There we started walking through Europe, heading for Belgium.</p>
<p>I want to complete my studies and to go to school without being scared.</p>
<blockquote><p>Belgium offers such a freedom of choices for how to make your life here. Brussels has already become my city.</p>

<p>I met Sultan at <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SB.overseas.charity/?fref=ts" target="_blank">SP Overseas</a></span>, where we both work as volunteers helping refugee kids.</p>

<p>(articolo di <span style="color: #ff0000;">Rand Abou Fakher</span>*)</p>
<p>Sultan Kitaz è un fotografo free-lance siriano di Aleppo. Sei mesi fa è arrivato in Belgio con una macchina fotografica piena di storie di più di 4 anni di guerra.</p>
<p>Ci sono voluti quattro tentativi per lui e la sua macchina fotografica per attraversare il Mar Mediterraneo in gommone. Tre volte la polizia turca ha fermato il'gruppo di rifugiati di cui faceva parte e una volta il trafficante che li aveva in carico lo ha abbanondato in un bosco.</p>
<p>Alla fine è riuscito ad arrivare nell'isola greca di Mytilini, vivo e vegeto. Da lì si è incamminato attraverso l'Europa del Sud, nel tentativo di attraversarne i confine e arrivare in Belgio.</p>
<p>Dopo settimane di cammino è arrivato in Ungheria. Qui la polizia lo ha messo insieme a centinaia di altri rifugiati in un autobus dalle finestre oscurate, senza cibo né acqua, per un degradante viaggio di 16 ore fino al confine con l'Austria.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-14165" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_0781.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_078" width="634" height="423" />Da quel punto, il viaggio in Belgio non è più così difficile. Il primo di ottobre 2015, è arrivato a Bruxelles con la sua macchina fotografica, così piena di storie da raccontare.</p>
<p>Fin dall'inizio della crisi siriana Sultan ha fotografato le scene del conflitto che lo circondava. Ben presto ha iniziato a corrispondere con media e giornali.</p>
<p>Nel 2012 è riuscito ad acquistare una macchina fotografica professionale e ha iniziato a pubblicare le sue foto sui social media.</p>
<p>Una foto prese a girare, fu notata e subito dopo pubblicata in molti giornali, diventando virale sui social media. Sultan era ancora un fotografo amatoriale.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14169" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sultankitaz.jpg" alt="SultanKitaz" width="800" height="533" /></p>
<p>Diverse agenzie di stampa internazionali lo hanno contattato da quel momento. Fino a quando ha lasciato la Siria nel mese di agosto 2015 quando era un freelance per la Reuters.</p>
<p>Oggi Sultan vive a Bruxelles e vorrebbe tornare a fare il fotografo, riprendendo il suo cammino di apprendimento e miglioramento così promettente.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-14156" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_100.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_100" width="667" height="445" />Ha iniziato a fotografare per le strade siriane e lo sta facendo anche in Belgio. Ma fa anche il volontario per l’ Associazione SB Overseas che fornisce supporto psicologico per bambini rifugiati.</p>
<p>E da solo sta cercando di imparare l'inglese.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14170" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/12140559_917224075037943_683132926489512697_n-300x200.jpg" alt="12140559_917224075037943_683132926489512697_n" width="300" height="200" />Perchè vuole raccontare la sua vita e I suoi ultimi quattro anni di sofferenze.</p>
<p>E vorrebbe essere parte integrante della nuova società in cui è arrivato condividendo idee e una visione della vita che sente abbastanza vicina alla sua.</p>
<p>“Ho iniziato a fotografare a vent'anni. Oggi credo di ho aver ragionevolmente raggiunto un buon ma ho ancora tanto da imparare. Dove sarò fra dieci anni? Ritengo di avere abbastanza talento, credo nelle mie capacità e sono ambizioso. La disperazione è una parola che ho bandito dal mio vocabolario”</p>

<p><strong>*Chi è Rand Abour Fakher</strong></p>
<p><em>Ho 21 anni. Sono cresciuta a Swaida, una piccola e tranquilla città in Siria, con più di mille anni di storia.</em></p>
<p><em>A diciotto anni mi sono trasferita a Damasco per studiare musica e ingegneria del suono presso l'Istituto Superiore di Musica e Arte Drammatica. A causa dei continui attacchi al centro storico e alla scuola, ho smesso dopo un anno e mezzo. Ho iniziato a insegnare per guadagnarmi da vivere.</em></p>
<p><em><img class="alignleft  wp-image-14146" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/aa2016_ref_052-683x1024.jpg" alt="AA2016_REF_052" width="296" height="444" />Ad agosto 2015 la Guerra non mi ha lasciato più altra scelta che abbandonare il mio Paese. </em></p>
<p><em>Sulle coste della Turchia sono salita su un gommone, come molti altri prima di me e molti altri faranno dopo di me, ben consapevole del pericolo.</em></p>
<p><em>Arrivare sulla spiagge della Grecia dopo 5 difficili ore è stato un enorme sollievo. Da lì abbiamo abbiamo iniziato a camminare attraverso l'Europa, in direzione del Belgio.</em></p>
<p><em>Oggi vivo qui a Bruxelles. Vorrei ricominciare ad andare a scuola e terminare miei studi senza avere paura.</em></p>
<p><em>Il Belgio offre una tale libertà di scelta su cosa fare nella vita. </em></p>
<p><em>Bruxelles ha già diventata la mia città.</em></p>
<p><em>Ho incontrato Sultan presso l’Associazione SP Overseas, dove entrambi lavoriamo come volontari per aiutare bambini rifugiati.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[[english below]
<blockquote><p>Non possiamo fare distinzioni tra nuovi migranti richiedenti asilo e i migliaia di Sans Papiers presenti da tempo in Belgio, vogliamo essere accolti, tutti devono avere una possibilità</p></blockquote>
<p>è l&#8217;appello che fa un ragazzo nord africano dal microfono della bella assemblea che si è svolta ieri davanti la Gare du Nord di Bruxelles a pochi metri dal campo allestito per accogliere i nuovi migranti arrivati negli ultimi giorni in Belgio.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-13530" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mg_8224.jpg" alt="_MG_8224" width="543" height="361" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Società civile, associazioni di volontari e organizzazioni politiche, tutti in solidarietà e sostegno alle persone arrivate in Europa per fuggire da guerra e povertà, si chiede accoglienza per tutti e tutte, si mette in discussione il trattato di Dublino sulle regole del diritto d&#8217;asilo.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-13527" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mg_8210.jpg" alt="_MG_8210" width="545" height="362" /><br />
Al termine dalla discussione generale l&#8217;assemblea si divide in 10 gruppi di lavoro, dalla discussione si passa alla fase operativa e di sostegno attivo.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>L&#8217;appuntamento più importante è per il 26 di settembre quando ci sarà la manifestazione nazionale “Welcome Refugees”, intanto l&#8217;assemblea e i gruppi di lavoro continuano il loro percorso organizzando altre assemblee pubbliche e presidi.</p>
<p>Valerio Nicolosi /S4C Brussels</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Welcome Refugees</h2>
<blockquote><p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13529" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mg_8218-150x150.jpg" alt="_MG_8218" width="150" height="150" />We cannot make distinctions between new asylum seekers and the thousands of Sans Papiers already in Belgium. We want to be welcomed, everyone must have a chance</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the appeal made by a North African boy on the stage of nice public meeting which was held yesterday in front of the Gare du Nord in Brussels a few meters from the camp set up to accommodate the new migrants lately arrived  in Belgium.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-13526" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mg_8193.jpg" alt="_MG_8193" width="595" height="396" /></p>
<p>Civil society, voluntary associations, NGOs and political organizations, all in solidarity and support to people arriving in Europe escaping war and poverty, called for welcoming all and a serious rethinking of the Treaty of Dublin rules on asylum.<br />
After discussion at a General Assembly level, 10 working groups have been created switching to the operational phase of active support.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-13523" src="https://www.shoot4change.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/mg_7981.jpg" alt="_MG_7981" width="589" height="392" /></p>
<p>The most important event is scheduled on September 26th when there will be a national demonstration (&#8220;Welcome Refugees&#8221;), while the assembly and working groups continue their work organizing public meetings and other principals.</p>

<p>Si è aperta lunedì 29 a Cancun, in Messico, la conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sulla lotta contro il cambiamento climatico che durerà dodici giorni, cercando di essere più decisiva e affidabile della delusione di un anno fa a Copenaghen.</p>
<p>Il giorno prima, Bruxelles è stata la protagonista di una manifestazione in cui centinaia di giovani provenienti da tutta Europa si sono uniti alla Coalizione belga per il cambiamento del clima.</p>
<p>La Coalition Climate &#8211; www.coalitionclimat.be &#8211; ha invitato le persone a &#8220;cantare per il clima&#8221;.</p>
[vsw id=&#8221;P0_9C3dabC4&#8243; source=&#8221;youtube&#8221; width=&#8221;525&#8243; height=&#8221;444&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;no&#8221;]
<p>Questa manifestazione ha inviato un chiaro messaggio ai leader europei e belga, cantando. La coalizione ha riunito oltre 80 organizzazioni belga e non solo, come Oxfam, Greenpeace, WWF e altre tra organizzazioni ambientaliste, movimenti giovanili, ONG e sindacati, in rappresentanza di oltre un milione di membri.</p>
<p><strong>Tutti gli attivisti di Oxfam provenienti da varie nazioni, tra cui Francia, Italia, Inghilterra, Belgio, Spagna, si sono riuniti nella sede di Oxfam Solidarité (Oxfam Belgio) dalle ore 11.00 per discutere sull&#8217;organizzazione alla manifestazione, per discutere del cambiamento climatico e per ultimare cartelloni e slogan.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3218" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><strong><a href="http://www.s4c.it/slides/cantareperilclima/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3218" title="20101128-IMG_9135" src="https://www.shoot4change.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/20101128-IMG_9135-300x240.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="240" /></a></strong></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">(clicca per la gallery)</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Alle 13.30 si sono spostati tutti (circa 40) verso la <em>Gare du nord</em> seguendo un simpatico carretto utilizzato per trasportare tutto il materiale che poi è stato distribuito durante il corteo.</strong></p>
<p>La manifestazione si è svolta dalle ore 14.00 partendo dalla Stazione Nord per poi dirigersi in corteo verso le <em>Mont des Arts</em> accompagnata da esibizioni musicali e cori per sensibilizzare e motivare le persone a partecipare a questa parata di canto gioioso. Arrivati a le Mont des Arts tutti hanno cantato la canzone per il clima &#8220;Hey You&#8221; &#8211; un adattamento di &#8220;Hey Jude&#8221; dei Beatles. I manifestanti hanno chiesto una riduzione significativa delle emissioni di gas serra e di andare oltre le promesse per una riduzione del 20% delle emissioni di carbonio.</p>
<p>Per la polizia i manifestanti erano 1500 per gli organizzatori</p>
