00:00The main activity of the National Association of Victims of Civil War in Italy is advocacy and awareness-raising,
00:14both for the citizens, but above all for the children in schools.
00:19One reason is the education at risk from the re-enactment of war crimes.
00:24Today it is still very current, every year there are still accidents, there are wounded and dead,
00:31there are tens of thousands of findings, even though 80 years have passed since the end of the Second World War,
00:38and not only that, there are still people with medals from the First World War, objects from more than 100 years ago.
00:47So we work in schools to make the children aware of this risk and to prevent other people from getting hurt.
00:55And yet in recent years, after we reach tens of thousands of children every year throughout Italy,
01:03accidents have decreased, so the hope is that our work is working.
01:09And then it is precisely to try to instill in the children a culture of peace, a sensitivity for global solidarity,
01:19for a global fraternity, which today is necessary more than ever.
01:24We have more than 31 active conflicts, where the main target is now the civilian population,
01:31and in the majority they are women and children who are wounded, mutilated and killed by war.
01:37And so the hope is that living in a country in peace, for today, but it is not said,
01:43is to try to wake up these children, who are now increasingly distracted, increasingly, I would say,
01:51also overwhelmed by what you see on social media, by video games, by the modernity of this technological life,
01:59who no longer have a look to the next, a capacity to help, to lend a hand to those who may need it.
02:09And so we try with our laboratories, with our staff, volunteers and with our witnesses,
02:18such as me, who am a victim of civil war, and having now no longer the age of schoolchildren,
02:25but not so far from them, to try to make them understand how horrible the war is,
02:32and how much there is to do to build a world of peace, and above all that everyone,
02:37who alone may feel in difficulty, may feel insignificant, is not so,
02:43because everyone with their own abilities, with their own talents, actually has a role,
02:48and together you can do something, something great.
