Our photographer Dario Gambino presented in the charming “Spazio Temenos” in Agrigento, #Anchiovoglioessere (#Ialsowanttobe) the awareness campaign CTM dedicated to education, children and their future, a laboratory with Palestinian refugee children in Lebanon carried out within the project “ Strengthening of social and educational services for minors in Palestinian refugee camps of Mar Elias, Burj el Barajneh and Rashidieh in Lebanon ” funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation.

Short exibition tour

During the presentation, which was attended by some of the humanitarian organizations operating in the territory of Agrigento, Dario talked about what we do at CTM and the reasons that motivated us to create this campaign.

“#anchiovoglioessere stems from the desire to put the child and their dreams at the center of attention: the children, with their dreams and their own vision of the future, may become active and autonomous citizens, advocates of their education. Through dreams, with the help of education, every child – regardless of their condition, their country of origin, their social status – can eliminate barriers and overcome social exclusion. “

The campaign aims to raise public awareness of the right to education, and especially of the “right to dream” a better future. In this context the traveling exhibition #anchiovoglioessere focuses on portraying children as how they see themselves when they grow up.

In the following days, the exhibition took place in the Institute …. as a starting point of a tour in the Italian middle schools and high schools. On this occasion Dario has met with a delegation of students to whom he explained the reasons and techniques that have led to the creation of the exhibition. The students took notes, asked questions and analyzed the photos which will lead them to become future guides for their classmates and friends.
