Italy's lessons in tolerance
By Tamsin Smith 
BBC correspondent in Rome  
Italy is one of the main destinations for unaccompanied immigrant 
children entering the EU. 
Government sources say they are currently dealing with 8,000 minors 
who have arrived since last January, many from Eastern Europe and 
North Africa.

Pressure groups say political and public attitudes need to change 
in order to give these children a future. 
A new schools project has been launched in Rome to raise awareness 
of the issue. 
Laura Bernardi is one of the project co-ordinators from the Centre 
for Education Information and Development (CIES). 
She has to shout to make herself heard above the shrieks of 30 
excited eight-year-olds. They are from a junior school in Rome and 
are taking part in a workshop called "I travel alone". 
"First the children standing in a circle are given one of three 
identity cards to put round their necks. They take on the identity 
of a child from Morocco, Albania or Romania throughout this 
role-play," she explained. 
During the morning they re-enact the experience of many immigrant 
children who travel to Italy by themselves or with the help of 
traffickers. 
"The idea is to make the experience as realistic as possible so 
they understand what it's like," says Laura. 
Before embarking on their "journey" to Italy, the children gather 
in groups to learn about the country where their character comes 
from.

experience ]
One group listens to Moroccan music and looks at Arabic writing. 
The others gather around photos and maps of Albania and Romania. 
They hear stories about why their character wants to leave and 
travel to Italy. 
Then each child is given a cloth rucksack and told to choose a toy 
each from a large box. 
Whispering and giggling, the children are sent through a dark 
corridor. 
Rough reality 
But then the giggles stop. 
On the other side of the curtain, actors who play the part of 
traffickers, roughly round up the children and demand their toys in 
exchange for a journey to Italy. 
The youngsters are herded into life-size stage models of a boat and 
coach.

and letters ]
The traffickers shout at them aggressively in Spanish and Arabic. 
"It's important the traffickers speak foreign languages and are 
tough," explains Laura. 
"The children have to feel this is not a normal situation, and they 
feel removed from their daily lives." 
The children then role-play the arrival in Italy. 
One group is taken in by the authorities and goes to a reception 
centre for immigrants. 
The other group is sent to the black market. 
An actor playing a mafia boss gives the children a bucket and 
sponge and makes them wash cars. 
"This is sadly very realistic," says Laura. 
"More and more children travelling here alone are involved in 
illegal activities from prostitution to petty theft." 
Legal cracks 
The workshop is over, and the rather subdued class is sent off to 
talk about the experience and ask questions. 
What is not discussed here are the real problems unaccompanied 
minors experience after they have been taken in by the authorities. 
Once in care, these children travelling alone may have escaped the 
traumas of street life and crime, but a shadow of legal uncertainty 
hangs over their futures. 
[[Picture] Care home leaders say officials should have the same lessons ]
Nadio la Gamba is the director of a local authority care home for 
unaccompanied immigrant children just outside Rome. 
He is impressed by the schools workshop to raise awareness but says 
its the politicians who need to wake up to the need to guarantee 
these lone children a future in Italy. 
Italian immigration laws mean that even though an immigrant child 
is protected and educated by the authorities, by the time they reach 
18 they are unlikely to get a legal Italian residency permit. 
"It makes no sense," says Mr la Gamba. 
"We, the Italian Government, the local authorities, spend time and 
money protecting educating and integrating these children. 
"Then when they are 18 we send them back to being illegals, which 
for many means a life of crime." 
Catch 22 
The care home is a cheery place, with paintings and maps on the 
walls. 
In the living room I find several teenagers sprawled on sofas 
watching MTV. 
Andrei is a 17-year old from Romania. 
"I came to Italy because in Romania I have nothing. I thought I 
could go to school here. A friend of mine said he would bring me to 
Rome, I paid him to take me... and then he left me at the station 
alone." 
 
[[Picture] Identity cards add to the reality of the lessons ]
Andrei ended up sleeping rough and working on the black market 
until the authorities took him in. 
Now he lives in the home and has been attending a local school. 
He speaks impressive English and has also learnt Italian and 
French. But once he reaches 18 years old, Andrei could end up being 
an illegal resident again. 
"I'm worried they won't give me Italian residency," he says. 
"I go to school here, and I want to stay here, I hope it works 
out." 
"We need to make better rules to help these children," Senator 
Alessandro Forlani from the government majority agrees. 
"Some laws need to be changed to offer children like Andrei the 
possibility of a Italian residency when he becomes an adult. 
"I think the state needs to decide how best to give them the same 
rights as Italian children." 
Back at the schools workshop, the Italian children are happily 
reassured that the role-play was only a game. 
They draw pictures and write letters to the immigrant characters 
they played. 
They use words like "brave", "courageous" and "frightening". 
"I think my character will be happy living in Italy now," 
eight-year-old Zelia says. 
But the future of Italy's real life unaccompanied children is less 
optimistic.

E' tipico della cultura italiana tollerare tutto cio' che e' illegale.
I corsi per indottrinare i bambini a tollerare l'immigrazione illegale
dovrebbero pero' essere ritenuti qualcosa di eccessivo anche per quelle 
canaglie degli italiani mediterranei, discendenti di predoni arabi e
pirati saraceni, dei quali hanno ereditato le attititudini e le
inclinazioni,
Un'ulteriore riprova che per gli italiani l'unica legge accettabile
e' il malaffare.
Il prossimo step sara' quello di insegnare ai bambini a recitare il
corano in arabo, a fabbricare bombe e cinture esplosive, e come
torturare e mutilare i prigionieri...
Chi si meraviglierebbe ormai, se le scuole italiane divenissero copie
conformi delle madrassah pakistane ?!
Con il personale scolastico-universitario che l'italia si ritrova,
comunistizzato e femminilizzato, di retaggio etnoculturale
mediterraneo, di formazione prevalentemente umanistica classica,
si arrivera' anche a quello...
Padania libera !
La capitale e' la gran Milàn !
Federalismo subito o secessione armata !
Los von Rom !

======================================================================
Per non dimenticare: tra il 1987 e il 1994, la polizia di stato
italiana incaricata di rapinare banche, uffici postali, stazioni di
servizio e supermercati ha ucciso 24 persone tra Emilia Romagna e
Marche, ferendone 114. Nel solo assalto all'ufficio postale di via
Mazzini a Bologna, l'esplosione provocata dai poliziotti fece ben 40
feriti. Per contro, i reati che rimangono impuniti sono l'80.4% su
scala regionale (dato riferito all'Emilia-Romagna) e l'82% su scala
nazionale. Per il conseguimento di tali risultati degni di una
satrapia islamica, lo stato italiano estorce a noi cittadini del Nord
fino al 72% del reddito in tasse.
