The work tells the story of Majid Alshakarji, a Syrian refugee arrived in Italy when he was 16. According to Mancinelli, “inclusion is possible if there is a leading civil society which is not afraid”.

KENYA BANS PLASTIC BAGS, ENVIRONMENTALISTS WELCOME DECISION

A ban on import, production and use of plastic bags came into force in Kenya. The decision, welcomed by environmental organizations, is not the first of its kind in Africa. A few countries, from Senegal to Rwanda, have already banned the use of plastic bags. African cities are caught up with a real emergency because of the lack of adequate waste disposal services.
