"Sanità" in Italian means "healthcare", but in this specific case it is the ancient name of a Neapolitan neighborhood, where cemeteries and patron saints were a thousand years ago. The area is a valley outside the city walls and below the Capodimonte palace, Napoleon Buonaparte had a large avenue built between the palace and the city center, effectively excluding the area from urban roads and relegating it to decline. The Rione Sanità, starting from those times, became an area of ​​poverty and crime. From about ten years ago, thanks to the energy of the new parish priest, things have changed. A youth cooperative has arisen that has enhanced the historic-artistic beauties of the neighborhood, from the Baroque churches to the catacombs that are the largest in Europe. Coop La Paranza manages the visits and there is big tourist flow unimaginable only in the nineties of the last century. This positive energy has been a catalyst for other realities, from the enhancement of local excellence through commercial establishments to the promotion of culture. The Nuovo Teatro Sanità and above all the Sanitansamble youth orchestra are two consolidated companies in the area and open to the city, then there is boxing in the parish, there is the creative after school, the popular ice cream shop and a network of associations that constantly work for continue in revenge this area of ​​historic Naples

"Everything is pinned in memory" sang Leon Gieco, famous Argentinian singer in a song about the period of the dictatorship. Nothing could be more true, especially if the facts were very serious and the memory is relatively recent. The seven years of dictatorship which ended in 1983, the last and most fierce among the several in twentieth century's Argentina, is definitely still an open wound for this lively South American people. In order to preserve the memory, spread and maintain the culture of the civil and human rights, give a cultural space to the city and why not, a playground, the complex ESMA (Escuela Mecanica de la Armada) was expropriated from the national army: the now called "Espacio Memoria y Derechos Humanos" is home to a myriad of civil society associations. A place of death and repression is now filled with life and culture of freedom.

With a long career in the structured finance of large multinational companies, Irene Tosti had reached the role of Senior Executive of Mercedes and from Singapore oversaw 12 countries. Her story is that of a "shock on the Damascus road", of a radical change of life in the name of a better world. A choice that led her to do business in Albania. During a sponsored trek on Kilimanjaro she realized with her own eyes how much the natural beauty of the world was in danger due to climate change and she decided to stop selling cars. On the threshold of fifty, through a course of the United Nations and the University of Geneva, she obtained a certificate in Environmental Diplomacy. Her meeting with Sokol Proja, an Albanian forest ranger who emigrated to Italy, brought her to the land of eagles, where they together founded Naturalalba, a company that exports officinal plants collected spontaneously in various parts of Albania. Naturalalba was born in December 2010, has joined the spontaneous harvesting from crops specially sown and treated in a biological way. Rosemary, White Oregano, Laurel, Melissa and Pyrethrum are some of the nearly sixty plants they work with for the Chinese, German, Italian and Swiss nutraceutical market. Naturalalba collaborates with about 2000 peasant families located in many areas of Albania. The company employs 25 people, mostly women, between seasonal and permanent, who in Albania are the ones who dedicate themselves most to agriculture, especially in harvesting.

Being friends with animals is a widespread condition, animal abuse is illegal and the spread of pets, dogs and cats in the lead, is enormous throughout the Western world. This "friendship" undoubtedly has several levels, from the simple little dog that "keeps a lot of company" to the choice not to eat meat or even not to use any product from animal production which involves exploitation and suffering for the latter. Then there are those who have decided to dedicate a large part of their existence to the safeguarding and protection of animals in difficulty, to save livestock animals from violent and certain death, to devote themselves to it full time, investing energy and life. They are people with a particular sensitivity towards other living beings who act individually or come together in associations to house animals in places defined as "sanctuaries". There are those who specialize in laboratory animals that have survived experiments, those who have built a farmhouse, others are fightng for the defense of the wild boars on which certain death hangs for legal culling. A dedication to respecting life as such, no matter what the animal species.

From decades after the economic boom that transformed Italy from a peasant country into an industrial country, after decades from protests and radical anti-system choices ... In the new millennium many people in the country have made the choice to return to the earth, but more than anything else of living it ethically. For the most part they are young, some are very new, others are dated, for some it is a political choice, for others, many others, it is simply a desire to live as an alternative to the dominant model, but at the same time almost no one it is isolated based on self-sufficiency ... It is a small world made up of rural realities that interacts well with the big city society.

The health center "Neri Ramos Rivadeneyra" in Santa Clotilde is an example of very professional, one of a kind medical attention. Stationed along the Napo River in the Loreto region of Peru, Santa Clotilde is a community that suffers from the typical Amazonian isolation: no roads and expensive, slow traveling boats. The people of San Clotilde continue living off a financially unprofitable economy that includes hunting, fishing, gathering and a small amount of crop cultivation. These factors are why healthcare in the Santa Clotilde region is considered a luxury. Almost no one has the money to travel to Iquitos (the only nearby town) to go to a hospital in the Amazonian jungle and there are many diseases other than the basic health demands such as emergencies and births. Santa Clotilde is a health center that serves as a true hospital, thanks to the professionalism and will of two American Catholic priests. Twenty-five years ago the small local health post was enlarged and transformed into a modern hospital where the hygienic conditions are the same if not better than a public hospital. Currently, the Health Center of Santa Clotilde is the head of a network of health posts in many communities along the Peruvian side of the Napo River. A technical staff led by a group of young, Peruvian professionals attends to dozens of patients per day-- taking advantage of modern, functional equipment and medications. One of the priests (Father Jack) continues to work as a doctor and another (father Mauricio) continues long-distance fundraising. After twenty-five years, the health center "Neri Ramos Rivadeneyra" in Santa Clotilde continues to be a major achievement that benefits a population whose only medical alternatives were visiting a shaman or a taking costly trip to Iquitos.

Spugnole. San Piero a Sieve scarperia. Firenze. Fernanda, Laura, Alessandro, Dina and Alessio are the five components of the Spugnole cohousing, in the heart of Mugello, behind Florence. Living in proximity, sharing spaces to create bonds and solidarity according to affinities is a residential form that is spreading, albeit with various difficulties, also in Italy. There is not only the legal company made up of open-minded and progressive owners: there are community contexts, public projects. In short, there is a desire on the part of many not to shut themselves up within the four walls, leaving the world outside, but to build bonds through proximity and common spaces and open up to the territory by creating positive relationships. But It is a difficult journey in a country where the home is a sort of arrival point, in an era where in the home and in the company of only one's relatives it is better than on the street. During the preparation and or development of this report, at least fifty percent of the places found on the net were not in operation, including projects that remained on paper, cohousers at loggerheads, experiments wrecked in debt and doors closed to the media.

On April 6, 1992, the 'siege of Sarajev began with the murder of Olga Sucic and Suada Dilberović during a peace rally. The city symbol of multiculturalism, of an encounter between East and West, was surrounded and under siege for over three years. It was the longest siege in modern history, which caused a hundred thousand dead soldiers and civilians. After a quarter of a century, the city was reborn, much has been built and rebuilt, but the wounds of war are still visible, the stronger are invisible, the siege has changed forever the relationship between the city's ethnic groups that now ignore each them in peace. That period of history seems to be dust that is coming out from under the carpet.

Protected. Refugee in my home is a national initiative aimed at creating the best conditions for the integration of foreign nationals, but also aims to involve and raise awareness among communities to welcome others. With "Protected" they want to experience new forms of reception and inclusion of foreign citizens within family nuclei and parochial or diocesan structures, but above all to ensure that the beneficiaries continue to support and accompany the families. This project assigns centrality to the family conceived as a physical site and a system of relationships that can support processes of inclusion of newcomers. This is the story of eight people. This is the story of thirteen people, twelve Africans and an Asian who risked their lives to escape horrible situations and are trying to integrate into Italy

Lower Belen , one of Peru’s most distressed communities, sits at the edge of Iquitos , the world’s largest city unreachable by road. Peruvian health officials have referred to Belen as “the hell of Peru” because of its many problems—lack of clean water, sanitation, adequate health care, education and employment, high rates of illness, violence, alcoholism, drug abuse and teen pregnancy. It sits in the floodplain of the Itaya River, and for 5 months of the year is inundated by floodwaters. In 2004, Gesundheit! and Bolaroja clowns, in a meeting with Belen citizens, conceived the Belen Project, a collaborative effort to energize residents in achieving their dreams for a healthier, happier community. From the original decision to paint every house in Lower Belen, the project has evolved to include workshops for children in art, dance and music; mural painting; community health outreach programs; parades, and, in 2010, the purchase of a community center, Belen’s first. The Belen Network now consists of a variety of organizations, (Bolaroja, Gesundheit!, Amazon Promise, Doctors for Orphans, La Restinga, Selva Amazonica, Pan American Health Organization, and others) whose intention is to provide the community with support and facilitation of Belen’s development. Clowning is the central action through which we connect with the community. Our experience working and playing in Belen has taught us much, particularly the crucial necessity of coupling our intentions with the performance of deep collaborative social action. Whatever else the Belen Project is, it is also an exploration of the social dimensions of individual and community health. Play and fun, in joy and love increases social participation, creates safety, and enhances optimism. Caring actions while working together are contagious. Caring clowns are cared for by Belen’s people. Every year they will continue the work of previous years: house painting, murals, workshops, clowning, community health outreach. The Festival begin to involve other realities of Iquitis like hospices, mental disease centers and other place where somebody need to be hear.

Twenty-five years ago Chico Mendes has been murdered. He was a “seringuero” born in Amazonic forest of western Brazil and trade unionist. Once landowners were used to kill opponents and “troublemakers”, but this time they kill a worldwide known person, a symbol that grew up as a martyr of the working class and environmental preservation. Chico Mendes was the first trade unionist with an ecological vision. He fought for the jungle, keeping the employment of his natural not wooden resources like natural rubber at first. This attitude was crashing with landowner's interests as they were focused on burning the jungle to widen their pastures. Chico Mendes and his people’s fight have not been stopped through this murder. It grew up and nowadays the Brazilian state of Acre is a place with a strong ecological vocation. Despite of many burnings and the loss of a huge area of jungle, there are a lot of hectares now converted into “Reservas extrativistas” (extractive reserves) where the rubber extraction activity has been kept alive. The forest is still an economic resource and in the city of Xapuri, where Chico Mendes lived and died, there are some factories processing the rubber in different ways. The “seringueros”, still alive in the forest, have changed. Nowadays they have school for their children and medical assistance in their communities, as well as all the other citizens. All this is the inheritance of Chico Mendes and his fight.

In the richest side of Corillos district, extreme South "Circuito de Playas" of Lima, Perù, there is a very particular dance school called Angeles D1. The name comes from a local idiomatic expression which could maybe be translated with "all for one and one for all". Its peculiarity is not only the number of various kinds of dance it is possible to practice there, from the traditional peruvian zapateo to hip-hop, it consists mainly in working with students from the poorest and most peripheral areas of the big peruvian capital. The story began years ago when the professional dancer Vania Masias noticed an artistic potential in the kids flipping over the zebra crossings in order to scrape together a few money. Thanks to her school, some of them became professional Hip-Hop dancers and even teach to younger kids in and outside the school. They organize demonstrations in the poor districts' schools and attend national shows. Bringing their example of social ransom through the dance, these ex traffic lights' angels (they actually fly like angels with their acrobatics) are a message, an expectation for the outskirt's boys and girls. They substantially say that it is possible to do something good for themslves and for the others instead of been swallowed in the degradation of the slums, often sinonimous of drug and gang.
