“Waves of legality, waves of citizenship" (Sicily)
un articulo por Dr. Diana Tashkova

One of the largest events in Italy and especially in Sicily was the celebration in the memory of Judge Giovanni Falcone- an Italian prosecuting magistrate killed by mafia who spent most of his professional life trying to overthrow the power of Mafia( Cosa Nostra).

The project” Waves of legality, waves of citizenship” took place in Palermo 14-25th of May 2013 promoted by Foundation” Giovanni e Francesca Falcone”. The Foundation was created after the death of Giovanni Falcone in 1992.

A famous quote of the Judge in the spirit of fight against organised crime is: “Who is silent and bows his head, dies every time he does so. Who speaks aloud and walks with his head held high, dies only once.”

Nowadays, Foundation Falcone has social and cultural commitment organizing educational courses, seminars, trainings, establishing scholarships for students.

Participants took part in the project” Waves of legality, waves of citizenship” from 16 different European countries such as Bulgaria, Netherlands, France, Romania, Spain, Belgium, Hungary, Greece, Macedonia, Latvia, Albania, Lithuania, Estonia, Austria, Serbia, Croatia were selected to participate in 2 weeks projects. Youth workers, students, teachers and leaders were committed to the idea of legality, fight against injustice and organised crime - a way of protecting human rights. The project aimed to reinforce the role of organized civil society in combating and preventing crime and to foster co-operation between law enforcement system and civil society in Europe.

Participants had the honor to take an active role in number of initiatives in Sicily, such as meeting with members of the judiciary - including the President of the Court of Palermo, Leonardo Guarnotta, and anti-Mafia prosecutor, meeting in Center for Juvenile Justice with social workers and authorities of Ministry of Justice, etc.

The international participation demonstrated the European interest in combating organised crime and the efforts of everyone for more secure, peaceful and tolerant world. Change starts from each person, and the Europeans gave an example of deep interest in “cosa nostra”, giving their own involvement and following the values of the Foundation, of life and those of their own personality!
