PARTY FOR THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL DIPLOMAS AS A RESPONSE TO PROTESTS

In Genoa the refugee protests were tough and insistent. The response of the Migrantes Office of the Archdiocese of Genoa was not long to wait and, while highlighting the burdens of hospitality, it emphasizes the constructive aspects of the active management model of various shelters located in the city of Genoa.

Therefore, it happens that the psychological malaise of asylum seekers becomes an increasingly evident problem in the Italian reception system.
