“Outlaws in air city”: a creative video about air pollution and climate change
Encourage awareness and activism through creative media.
I talked about it in the previous post, and here I embed Outlaws in air city, another beautiful video demonstrating how it’s possible to talk about serious subjects in a very entertaining way.
The video was produced by Climate Media Factory and his creative producer Ephraim Broschkowski, that I had the pleasure to meet during the International Summer University held in Neukalen (Germany).

Climate change. Behind the Scenery
Climate change, drought, melting ice, deforestation, sea level rise.
Everyone of us heard about these huge problems for the life of our Earth and ourselves.
Sustainable development, a possible solution. We heard about this too.
Repetita iuvant. Yes, but there’s the risk of normalization, above all in a mainstream media system which talks about problems superficially and when a catastrophe already happened. Continue to read

Cronache macedoni 5 – Sve, un viaggio nella vita
La quinta puntata della rubrica “Cronache macedoni” racconta un fine settimana al lago di Ohrid, tra solitudine e incontri che mi aiutano a riflettere [nota: le foto sono in bassa qualità]
Al quarto campanello a cui suono alle nove di sera mi sembra che le speranze di trovare una stanza per la notte abbian
o trovato la porta giusta. Il signore sorridente in canottiera e occhi azzurri dietro le lenti mi porta al piano di sotto, dove un altro signore, vestito d’una tremenda tuta-pigiama marrone issata all’ombelico, mi dice che invece posto libero non ce n’è.
A Ohrid, antica abbarbicata località sul lago omonimo condiviso da Macedonia e Albania, a due ore e mezza di bus da Prilep, ero già stato in agosto, e sceso dal bus mi avevano assalito signore urlatrici: “Room, room”. Ma io la room l’avevo già prenotata on line, per scoprire poi che l’economia estiva di molte famiglie di Ohrid si basa sull’affittare camere della propria casa.

“Be always optimistic. Even when it seems impossible”
The office of Info Front association I’m volunteering for is in the same building of a factory where parts of shoes are produced. Almost every day I have the pleasure to say dobro utro – good morning – to the workers having a break in the courtyard of the factory. And often, a smiling woman comes to the office to greet us.
Vase Stevanoska, 55 years old, is the master tailor and production manager of the “Maci shoes” factory.
For the second issue of MYG – Magazine for Youth Generation, which is going to be published in the next days, I decided to interview her (read the first interview to Simon Bidjoski).

Barilla, when pasta is not for gay people
“For us, the concept of sacred family rema
ins one of the
fundamental values of the company. We will not do commercials with homosexuals, because for us the family is the traditional one. If gays like our pasta and our communication, they will eat our pasta. If not, they can avoid it and eat another brand. It’s not always possible to please everyone”.
These words were said by Guido Barilla, the chairman of the famous Italian food company. Barilla was interviewed on 25th September by the radio programme “La Zanzara” (The Mosquito) and his answer to the question if the company would ever show a gay family in advertisement sparked a big debate in Italy.

Cronache macedoni 4 – In viaggio con il conflitto etnico
La quarta puntata della rubrica “Cronache macedoni” parla del conflitto etnico tra popolazione macedone e albanese, e di un lungo viaggio per arrivare a Neukalen, in Germania.
Il ragazzo di fianco a me sembra ignorarmi, e io d’altronde non cerco di iniziare una conversazione perché la partenza improvvisa da Prilep mi ha 
tolto ore di sonno: ne approfitto per dormire.
Passano due ore, e appena dopo il confine un errore dell’autista rompe lo strano incantesimo del silenzio. Il bus lascia i controlli dei passaporti e infila di nuovo l’autostrada, ma subito frena di colpo e fa marcia indietro: stavamo andando contromano. Tra i passeggeri risuona il trambusto, e a me scappano un paio di parole in italiano.
Il ragazzo mi guarda: “Ah, ma allora non sei macedone”. Iniziamo così a chiacchierare, e per un’ora, sul bus Skopje-Milano, s’impersonifica davanti a me il problema etnico della Macedonia.

“Europe is like a melting pot, even if it’s not still working a lot”. A talk with Elodie, Evs volunteer in Prilep
In this episode of “Here we are – People of Prilep”, I interview Elodie, a French Evs volunteer.
We talked about her country and cultural integration, Macedonia and Europe.
The following lines are only some extracts from the interview, in which you can also listen to three French songs chosen by Elodie (have a look at the bottom)
In France Elodie lives near Nantes, “a very dynamic city, rich of culture and life, but that it’s growing too much”. She thinks that “we French people are too proud of our nation. We have a past of colonization and a lot of people came to our country, and that’s what makes our history and our culture now. We are mixed people, we have people coming from every area of the world. But we don’t care of them, we don’t do enough to integrate them in our nation and in our life”.
