Description
Global citizenship is challenged by the sovereign narrative and growing conflicts. International solidarity and cooperation for sustainable development, promoted by the 2030 Agenda, are threatened by re-emerging nationalisms and walls, border tensions and conflicts, fear and closed minds. There is a need to relaunch the culture of international solidarity and peace in the face of global phenomena such as pandemics, climate change, wars near and far from Italy (not least the one between Russia and Ukraine). Young people want schools to be more committed to the promotion of active global citizenship, deepening curricula, improving education, promoting exchange initiatives and solidarity at local and global level. In order to be able to put in place measures to promote sustainable development through international solidarity, decision-makers need to be clear about the centrality of international cooperation and Official Development Assistance and to be aware of how much the latter needs resources for renewed effectiveness. The sharing of information, analyses, stories and experiences, through a widespread communication campaign, can help increase awareness among citizens and the media of humanity's common destiny, and therefore of the need to cooperate together for a world of peace and justice. Faced with these urgent needs, 24 civil society organizations and networks at national and local level, in 11 regions and 39 provinces, have joined forces in the project "Cooperation: Let's put it on the Agenda! "(thanks to the networks CoLomba in Lombardy, COASIC in Campania, COP in Piedmont, COONGER in Emilia Romagna, FAIT in Tuscany, FArete in Trentino, Marche Solidali, JANUAFORUM in Liguria, UMBRIAMICO and the associations Arci Toscana, AUSER Volontariato Perugia, Fondazione Fontana, GuardAvanti, IBO ITALIA, LTM, Piccoli Progetti Possibili PRODOCS), in a coordinated framework at national level (with FOCSIV, AOI, ASviS, CeSPI, OXFAM Italia, OPENPOLIS and Plan Italia). The project "Cooperation: Let's put it on the Agenda! - Young people and territories for Official Aid for Sustainable Development" aims at relaunching the culture, value and tool of international cooperation for sustainable development through global citizenship education. Citizens, students, teachers and headmasters, youth groups, national and local politicians, generalists and specialized journalists and media, will be crucial actors in the promotion of international solidarity and the 2030 Agenda, mobilizing for the achievement of 0.7% of gross national income for Official Development Assistance (ODA). Specifically, training activities for teachers and headmasters and workshops for students will strengthen their knowledge and skills on the issues of international cooperation for sustainable development and promote civic engagement and activation in the territories. At the same time, the production and dissemination of in-depth content on the project themes, the training of young leaders who are protagonists of change, and the initiatives of dialogue with institutions and political decision-makers will lead the latter to recognize that cooperation for sustainable development and ODA contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda (SDG 17), and integrate them to a greater extent in the planning of national, regional and local public policies. Finally, through the communication campaign "Cooperation: Let's put it on the Agenda!", the training of journalists and the realization of events at national level and on the territories of 11 regions, young people, public opinion and political decision-makers will be sensitized so that together they can foster a cultural change, individual, collective and institutional behaviors for international cooperation for sustainable development, peace and justice.
