From the Pitches

Yesterday, for World Refugee Day, the annual “Io ci sono” Solidarity Football Match, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale with Microsoft and with the patronage of the UNHCR, was held on five pitches in Messina, Roma, Catania, Milan and Naples.

 

In a unique challenge against indifference, over 200 students and reception centre guests participated; in Rome and Milan, a special tournament involved Microsoft employees, too.

 

UNHCR data indicates that over 65 million individuals around the world, an unprecedented figure, are forced to flee their country; over 21 million of them are refugees and over half are less than 18 years old. Imagine their plight. Young men and women, just like you. Without a house, friends, far from their parents and without school...

The message read by Alfonso Molina, Scientific Director, Fondazione Mondo Digitale, to all participants.

 

Here are some short interviews with the protagonists of this special edition: from Debora Cavallo in Messina to Francesca Meini in Milan.
