REDAZIONE DI MICROCOSMOMicrocosmo is a magazin done in the prison ,

created by the detenuees It is a working permanent place to develop ideas and information

Is a instrument of information for the external community

To promote the information the people start from the personal experience and develop concience about their own point of view

The prisoner is object and subject of observation: this is a critical point in the working section, but also is a hight instrument of personal growth

(vedi allegato B)

The detenuees observe him self, the prison system and the social system in the past, in the present and the future

The personal history is readed in the human hystory: for this reason , the autobiography describe the human history

The autobiography, developed in the magazin redaction, is linked to the social an historic events

From the beggining the newspaper has started to write about articles to be published; the motivation to bring informations outside made evident the necessity to start from himself, with selfcontrol and responsabilty, and with the clearness of communicative objectves.

The wish to write the newspaper has developed the necessity to broaden giving birth to new ways of research and experience.

Therefore the Editorial Office has developed from its own inside different plans with specific objectives, that we can now summarize in:

Activities of MicroCosmo

- jeornalism writing(vedi allegato B)- autobiographic writing- searching himself through pictures(vedi allegato D)- project of prevention about youth deviances “Vedo Sento Parlo – il valore delle regole e l’esercizio della legalità” (vedi allegato C)

The writing themes can be specific; downstairs we can find one example done in the femail section for the woman celebration on the 8° March.

AUTOBIOGRAPHYCAL GROUPDI MICROCOSMO

Trough the observations made by the tutor, the evaluationon on how the activities are developing, is made

The tutor and the trainer evaluate the response of the partecipants to the issues (problems, subject, thematic, requests), which emerged

Adeguate strategies are adopted

The overal partecipation was, in the different sections of the prison: 50 people were involved (15 people for group)

The stories are preserved by the authors We are giving here one exampleIn the woman section, connected with the argue

existing in the town, for the woman day - 8 march, the theme in the group was “THE BODY”.

The idea to have the same argument between town and prison was a very important input, giving the idea to the prisoner women to stay in the same comunity

The writes of woman’s for 8 marchThe start was a discussion above a pubblic letter done

by a journalistThe beginning of the working group was hard , the

prisonners were talking just above “ pysicall character “

The conductor of the group , giving input with a brain-storming, (words –keys, that has been written in a black board), gave suggestions to develop new ideas, new deep feeling

Each woman , after the input, could write ( woman with not good abilty in italian language were help in the exposition )

In the silence of the writing time, could emerge the deep aspect of the argument, that was very sensitive about the personal identity

All the compositions done in the working group demonstrated that a specific point in the woman’s life was mouving their own future

When the last pencil was put down in the room was possible to feel a quite serene clima.

In this silent clima it was seems that every woman was inside in her self and also outside from herself, able to be in a new dimension

In different time the women were able to reed their own products: to hear the different stories about different life style was a positive imput
