Art in Juvenile Prisons Meeting

The CO2 association has organized a meeting between the associations that carry out artistic workshops in Italian juvenile penitentiary institutes to discuss current projects, share experiences and best practices, discuss any difficulties and problems encountered and create a network, a connection platform, also in view of future collaborations.

This meeting was designed as a technical table for insiders and has returned to the Festival “Another story: festival of civil commitment” held at the Teatro India in Rome from 23 to 25 March 2018. The festival has put together the many realities that in recent years have emerged around the show “Dieci storie proprio così” (third edition), with the aim of confronting, deepen the issues such as mafias, anti-mafia and active citizenship.
