été proclamée par l’ONU, Année Internationale de l’élimination de la pauvreté. Ce serait formidable si chaque groupe que vous représentez, organisait le 17 octobre 1996, une petite cérémonie pour célébrer la journée mondiale du refus de la misère. Ce serait formidable aussi, si comme vous l’avez fait durant ce rassemblement, vous échangiez des témoignages. Ce serait formidable si chaque groupe invitait de nouveaux jeunes qui n’osent pas encore aller à la rencontre des autres. J’ai confiance. Merci à tous et bon retour.» Béatrice NOYER, Volontaire permanente. 22nd Annual Fourth World Youth Assembly Madrid, Spain: From 12-16 October, 70 young people from 15 countries gathered for this assembly. Participants included delegates from youth groups throughout Europe, full-time volunteers, and young friends from Madrid. The aim of all involved: to learn from the experiences, hopes, and courage of the very poorest young people, to evaluate our projects, and to get to know others making a stand against poverty. “There was a feeling of warmth that united us and allowed all of us to express ourselves freely. Everyone really valued what each person had to say. ” Christian, âge 25, and Alain, âge 20, France. "I was surprised to discover that people can communicate without speaking the same language. " Nathalie G., âge 16, Germany. “In Madrid we understood that no one should remain alone in the face of extreme poverty. We should open our hearts — even give our hearts, if need be. I want to be even more active now because we can’t just sit around doing nothing.” Pascal, âge 18, Belgium. “We discovered that there are other young people in the world who, like us, live in poor neighbourhoods. And they’re really nice. In Madrid we met both poor and non-poor people, but they work together to put an end to poverty. ...We learned how important solidarity is in life. When you have friends, that keeps you from hitting rock bottom. It was important for us to think seriously together with others. ” José Maria, âge 17, Fernando, âge 16, and Lina, âge 37, Portugal. “Wells were made by people

" Gitka, âge 22, Slovakia. “Since we are all working toward something in common, there are no boundaries — not between countries, nor different ages, nor social backgrounds. ...I feel I have a responsibility to act against persistent poverty, and it encourages me to see other young people involved too.” David V., âge 21, Spain. “I was surprised how the young people from the Los Andes Association were able to start up from nothing, with no financial help. I was impressed how the volunteers gave their time to bring kids together and give them some joy. I hope everyone follows the example of Los Andes.” Sam, âge 18, United Kingdom. "All this won't be lost; it'll help us continue in what we're doing. When you take action, you're stronger, because you know that there are lots of people in the world involved, too. " Alicia, âge 16, Spain. “The strongest impression I have is that each person is useful and important to others. ” Monika, âge 25, Slovakia. "Seeing so many

Below: Visiting in Las Baranquillas. A Challenge for 1996 Béatrice Noyer, a full-time volunteer, came to Madrid representing the International Movement ATD Fourth World. At the close of the assembly, she spoke to delegates about the importance of their work and gave them perspectives for 1996. “These days together have been rich in sharing, in exchanging, in meeting, because all of you gave the best of yourselves. In the small discussion groups, one of you told us how, at first, he was afraid to approach others and afraid of their judgments. He shut himself in, spoke to no one. Then one day, a friend came along, had confidence in him, and invited him to the Club of Knowledge and Solidarity. Today, he is here, delegated to represent his club. He has dared to speak out in public. He has dared to question others.

Isn't his presence at this European meeting an encouragement for all? ...The presence of all of you here illustrates that you are those who cross boundaries. Now, upon leaving, I hope that all of you can say, like David, Joseba, and Mauge from Eibar (Spain): “We’ve gained new courage and energy for when we return home.” Next year, 1996, has been declared by the United Nations, the International Year for the Elimination of Poverty. It would be important for the groups you represent to organize a small ceremony to celebrate 17 October, 1996, World Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty. It would also be important for you to exchange testimonies, as you have done during this assembly. And it would be vital to invite new young people, those who don’t yet dare to go out to meet others. I have confidence in you. Thank you, and good luck upon returning to your countries. Béatrice Noyer, full-time volunteer Young people in the Ozanam workshops in Zaragoza, Spain, helped prepare the Madrid assembly by asking their peers what message they wished to share with young people who would come from other countries.

Their delegate, Montse Salvador, read their message before the others in Madrid: “As young people, we should have the same facilities as others. We need support and friendship. People might not think so, but we’re just like everybody else. We need the chance to integrate into society. People need to think positively when they have a problem. We all have to fight extreme poverty. We want to be listened to and respected. We’d like people to open doors for us. We need to feel that someone is on our side, that someone understands us. Our message to you, delegates at the assembly, is that we want to keep working so that our dreams become reality, so that equality be possible, so that there be no more racism, and so that solidarity really exist. We’d like to share with you our knowledge, our friendship, solidarity, happiness, and enthusiasm for life!” Elisa Diez “When I was a kid, we lived on the outskirts of the city” Spanish participant Elisa Diez, from Bilbao, wrote an account of the assembly to share what she discovered in meeting other young people. “We all agreed that the main problems were unemployment, intolerance, and integrating different races, social backgrounds, and religions.

But the presence in Madrid of so many young people with different ideologies, and from different social classes, cultures, and religions, gave us hope that we can erase these boundaries. ...Our small group visited Raquel who lives in Las Baranquillas, a forgotten neighborhood of Madrid. Raquel and her family welcomed us very warmly. We all felt at ease. Every moment was joyful, especially when we were singing. Raquel seemed very pleased to be with us, and since she couldn’t come to the assembly— as we all would have liked—this was our way of sharing with her what we were doing. After the visit to Las Baranquillas, a member of our group said to me, “When I was a kid, we lived in a place like this, with no water or electricity. We were on the outskirts of the city and had no connection with it. ...You know, visiting this neighborhood today touched something in me. I felt good here; the people welcomed us with joy. It felt like home.” . . . During the assembly, we discovered that we are not alone in our different countries, that there are other young people like ourselves, living the same situations, with the same difficulties. That’s what we want to

In Strasbourg, at the Plaza of the Palais de l'Europe, Zoltan, Laszlo, Renata, and Barbara from Hungary have given this testimony before the Council of Europe: “We bear witness to Maria, courageous mother of 7 children whom she must now bring up alone, in her small, two-room house. She has tried throughout her life, along with her husband, to break through the wall of shame of not having a respected place in the Gypsy community and of not being able to participate fully in the life of the village.

She has tried throughout her life, along with her husband, to break through the wall of shame of not having a respected place in the Gypsy community and of not being able to participate fully in the life of the village. Since the death of her husband, Maria has had difficulties keeping her family going. Often she has been at the point of despair because she hasn’t been able to send her children to school in clean clothes. She can’t give them books, and there is no table in the house for them to do their homework. But even if there’s not much furniture, the house is always clean. Like their father before them, the young people of the family have no qualifications. They have had a hard time finding work. The village has a high level of unemployment, and only those who have connections find work.” In Paris, on the Parvis des Libertés et des Droits de l'Homme, Nathalie and Fanny, French delegates, have written this testimony on the Portuguese delegates they met at the assembly in Madrid. “I bear witness to José and Fernando who live in a very excluded part of their city, Portugal. A part of the city where young people are always accused when something wrong happens in the city. Because of the difficulties of the quarter, of the drug for example, the police do not accept that young people gather. Thus José and Fernando, were taken to the police station, manhandled, because they were gathering with their friends. I bear witness

Because of the difficulties of the quarter, of the drug for example, the police do not accept that young people gather. Thus José and Fernando, were taken to the police station, manhandled, because they were gathering with their friends. I bear witness to their will to refuse the labels of their quarter and to make recognized the solidarity that exists there. "It's an entraînement like that of a big family," they say. To combat misery, an association has been created. The name of its project is "Contruir." I bear witness also to Lina who is a professor of mathematics in this association. She has joined the quarter to share her knowledge and to listen to the young people. Together they work so that everyone learns a trade, and then they pass exams. Lina wants to make the link between school, teachers, and young people. Thus she engages for young people to become themselves responsible and formers in the association.” When Maria’s teenagers have found odd jobs, the money has gone toward basic necessities. When they haven’t been able to find anything, they have stayed at home, little by little losing the motivation to get up in the morning. Their friends stopped coming to see them. Having nothing of which they could be proud, they closed in on themselves. Maria understood that this isolation was not good for her children's future. She went without food in order to offer her teenage children a
