It is crucial that we rediscover the virtue of hospitality. This is particularly true when looking at today’s youth who have become increasingly like foreigners in their own societies. Adults do not try to understand today’s youth or provide opportunities for them. Rather, they just stand idle, watching the degradation of their spaces, especially schools. The world is rapidly changing and if, as adults, we clearly see the end of a system, it’s not difficult to imagine how absurd and awkward the status quo would seem to a young person in his or her teens or twenties. History has shown us that some generations decay faster than others; ours is one of them.
Records are straightforward in pointing to the fact that young people are strangers and foreigners in their own land: the youth unemployment rate is 43%. This is a number that should prevent us from sleeping however we sleep soundly since we’re so used to such negative news. Above all, we’re forgetting that a young person is more than one family’s child; they are society’s responsibility as well.

Sono storie di vita, di abbandono giuridico, di uomini senza difesa, ma soprattutto bisognosi di uno sguardo di speranza. Avvicinare lo studente di diritto a questa realtà è una sfida costante del Progetto, soprattutto perché i detenuti “adottati” hanno commesso o tentato crimini gravi. Assumendo la fraternità come principio politico e giuridico da considerare, e contestualizzandolo nella prospettiva dei diritti umani, in quale direzione deve formarsi il futuro operatore del diritto?
