After a long pause, so to speak, of reflection, back to publish some posts on our blog. We wanted to propose, even if late, the article written by the pupils of the grammar school IID D. Cotugno, national published on the issue of "The Haunting" from Tuesday, July 7. We thank the reporter for the newspaper, Raffaella Troili for his willingness and Professor Di Lorito for the help offered to us. We stress that, despite having been signed (for journalistic purposes) only by the pupils of the IID, the alleged letter sent to the great earth holds the hopes and fears common to all of us young Aquila.
Here is the article.
GREAT, THE EAGLE Give us back
Representatives of the G8 states,
many times during our talk of news, Aquila us kids, we said, "Ah , could speak with the great earth, I have many things to tell them .... " But now that there are given the opportunity, we remain puzzled, not knowing where to start.
sure our feelings are concentrated on the harsh realities of our city, and remain suspended from the fears and doubts of the past mixed with hope for our future. It 'difficult for us to overcome this moment, to jump behind that we've been, think of having to remember a city that had grown to love and now no more, give up a piece of our lives. Yet we do not want to bore you with our guide and our bitter anguish of the tragedy that we experienced, but we try to look ahead, make proposals and to share our ideas so that our city can be reborn. We understand that in order for this to happen, you will need all our commitment and our determination: it is a responsibility we assume. We are convinced that the resurrection must be the work of L'Aquila, especially of our generation that is characterized by enthusiasm and a touch of unconsciousness, typical of young and able to give the necessary impetus to address challenges that seem insurmountable.
Certainly the enthusiasm is not enough; L'Aquila also needs you. That's why we ask you, representatives of major world powers, to create the foundation upon which can lead to a renewed city, not only made of cold concrete, but also the warmth that makes it alive. The most important objective in this sense, is to re-weave the social fabric of L'Aquila, for which you will need to return to the people a sense of belonging to the territory, so battered in recent times. And just because we are convinced that to give new life to the city, it is essential to young people's input, we consider of primary importance that the reactivation of circuit services and facilities in the city that drew thousands of young people. This is why the revival of L'Aquila can not ignore the resurgence of schools and universities that are made accessible and attractive to all. We must give students the certainties, reconstructing buildings safe and ensuring the facilities that attract the attention of young people from all over Italy: we refer to the removal, or partial reduction of tuition fees, at least the first year, and the creation of comfortable student accommodation. As for colleges, however, would be desirable for the formation of a student center that collects all the addresses and which is in the heart of the city. This would also guarantee a revival of business in the city center. The symbiosis between the world of youth and that of commerce, would actually create a more livable for everyone, even those who, finished their studies, seek a job and a place to put down the roots of their family.
E 'a sentiment shared not only to us young people, hoping to return to live in a city that is as similar as possible to that which has been stolen, and not be broken up in several neighborhoods built in the outlying areas. You must maintain a continuity with the past, but trying to improve L'Aquila in what were its downsides. This means creating a city that provides employment and resources that leverage its invaluable artistic and cultural heritage, landscape and natural. For this will be of primary importance to restore damaged monuments but also reactivate the induced linked to tourism.
Our current situation has led us to look with greater participation of those peoples not only from a few months, but for centuries, live in precarious conditions and are also deprived of the possibility of hope for a better future. The long-standing war between Israel and Palestine, the civil unrest in Iran, the Darfur crisis, the economic problems of African countries, should be the fundamental themes of these global summits, the most developed countries have, in fact, take responsibility for solving these problems that seem destined to last forever. It is significant that the G8 this year be held in L'Aquila. Our city, so battered, will be the emblem of all those parts of the world that launch a desperate cry for help that only you, the "great" you can answer today.
