On Friday 11 & Saturday 12 a major conference of audiology will be held in Turin, with an interesting title, " Senti chi parla (Hear who's talking)", a two days conference with a clear & interesting programme offering a series of specific speeches (for the complete program see here ) . Participation is free. Some topics are well worth the attention, specially for Italian parents of deaf children.

It is one of those points which are deep fixed in my atti tude & opinion : to foster visibility to all those services , teams , educators and professionals with whom I work around Italy . So I decided to create a map where my supervisions & group-work sessions have different colours so to differenciate them between th e active (in green ), those temporarily suspended (in yellow ocher ) & the concluded ( in red).

During last months I have participated as an external expert in the project of international cooperation "Local Economy Development Towards Integrated Support & Inclusion of Unemployed in the Cyclades Prefecture ."

Things are moving concerning Eu funds for the next year deadlines & priorities. There are interesting new opportuniti es t hat I like to share about Eu fundings , & which I suggest to take note . Here are a brief overview of the main news, calls fo r proposal, updates in the programme guides, & publications.

Cominciamo da Adamo ed Eva (Starting from Adam & Eve) is an event I am honoured to share with you. There will be readings, musical sketches & various suggestions to raise awareness on the reality of violence within the familiar relationships, to recall a forgotten memory, to think & note new questions on the complexity of the relational dynamics.

There are many ways of looking at things , beginning from the analysis & ending to the resulting narration. Usually, narration is supposed to support the reality . When the narration replaces reality , there can be problems .

The abstract of the newly funded project "i DIG stories - Stories Educational Learning Facilities" is now available on the Eu Commission webpage.

Some words are almost magical. We think that the word “care” is one of them. It is an ancient term, with a deep meaning: its original term was the latin Cura(m) , which evolved in “care” and in “cure”. The latin original meanings are thought, care, but also anxiety and shortness of breath. The entire universe of care is already condensed within its etymology.

Our care of the care givers progremme involves the activation of a group dedicated to young colleagues & psychologists. The supervision & the continuous deepen of the care dynamics represent a substantial moment of the training and continuous improvement to balance professional and humane care of those who chose care as a profession.

The care of the care givers project includes a group dedicated to social workers, nurses, educators. This group aims to develop a process of re-discovery of the correspondance between having care of the external scenario & the inner world .

The act of giving care, of caring is a substantial aspect of parenting. It is even more substancial when the child is deaf, or disabled. This is the reason behind th activation of a dedicated group of care for the care givers to support the experience of parenting a deaf or disable child.

This is a re-post of an interview that Krystyann Krywko published on her blog www.kidswithhearingloss.org in late summer. I re-post it to give to Krystyann more visibility as possible .

the project "i DIG stories - Stories Educational Learning Facilities" scored 95/100 during the evaluation procedures & it has been funded under Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships for adult education.

1991 Berlin Sometimes we forget the importance of the passions , the relevance & significations of all the parts of a story (both individual & collective ) that recall , certify & renew the existence . I have in mind the project " stories of the street " since many years. It has been an idea before being a project.

We love stories, especially those with an happy ending. We hope that this will soon be. Like all stories, this one started with the requests for help from some parents of deaf children & with the discovery of the competition "natiperproteggere" (born 2 protect) where you have to: identify a history of protection, build up a project, submit; between all the received projects, 8 will be selected for the final rush. For now, we hope to be a petal of the rose.

S ince a couple of years, I am collaborating with the association Noi sulla strada (we on the streets) in Padova. Sometime it happens to find groups where a certain climate & atmosphere of deep & profound share happens since the first time .

I am deeply convinced that the individuals we look after, the persons we address our care , are infact the true subjects of care. I am f ollowing this pri nciple since years, having the chance to transfer it into v arious professional experiences of community projects focusing on active participations . 

it is just assuming the risk of stroking the bottom of the unknown that one may discover the beauty of the new dédié à tous: il est juste en caressant le fond de l'inconnu que vous pouvez découvrir l'émerveillement de la nouvelle

On my wa y to find some time t o update with some new activities & materials that will soon be available ( photos & results of the workshop held in Padua in March , the research for the European Observatory on Homelessness , along with some new documents & a new Multipolis website ) , I take this opportunity to remind & strongly suggest the Feantsa 2015 European Conference " K ey steps to connect communities to Europe" , that will take place in Paris on 18 , 19 and 20 June .

2015 biella (it) - pave ment My participation to the FEANTSA employment working group requires the data & impact analysis of policies targeting people experiencing social exclusion both at the national & European level. The data so far-collected enlightens a general & gloomy framework. At the same time, a picture of disarming clarity emerges when defining the performance & the italian national prospects.

The post on outputs of Multipolis workshop in Udine is closed to 3.000 viewers. While I am preparing the outputs from the last-week sessions in Padova, new posts are on the way to celebrate this interest.

NGOs, as well as all organizations of the non-profit universe can access direct Eu funds. Those funds are managed by the various programme's Executive Agencies or by the diverse National Agencies. Developing a European project requires specific competences, which I identify at the following level s:

Public entities can access both forms of Eu funding opportunities: direct and indirect funds. In general terms, Public entities have to success the goals of general interest connected to EU2020 strategy: increase institutional efficiency, improve the quality of public services & the utility of infrastructure... Almost all areas of interest of a public administration are covered.

Approaching European funds means confronting with variou s levels of complexity, which it is worth to keep in mind: the knowledge of the possibilities offered by available European funds, both for public institutions , profit entities & NGOs the skills & competence to approach, develop & manage Eu funds successfully the adoption of methodologies & tools that facilitate the whole process

beside endless discussions, i believe everybody can read, speak, dream, sign, sing ... all different, all humans ... the video, the music, the words ... another brick: find it all here   (http://youtu.be/E5l-2Jo14cQ)
