OUR Conferences

On the 17th of December, Comprendre La Mafia met several other European anti-mafia associations in Paris, in order to share ideas, feelings and projects within each other. Some online and some in presence, at the meeting there were representatives from Basta (Beligum), Eine Welt (Germany), DemainesLibres (France) and LiberaBologna (Italy) and Comprendre La Mafia (France). These associations are not only involved at a local level with the community in activities that include sensibilization, podcasts, social investigations, activities and workshops in schools, but they also collaborate together in the European project CHANCE, with the aim of passing anti-mafia legislations on a European level. The meeting allowed for the youth group of LiberaBologna, who had represented the University of Bologna in Paris for the previous week through the Group Europe, to share their past activities and future projects. This has the aim of raising a European and international conscience about mafia, and to initiate communication as well as projects between like-minded associations around Europe. Our association had the honour of attending the meeting and is at the moment engaged in creating and promoting collaborations with the anti-mafia organizations.

Our association, in partnership with La Fabrique Politique, was delighted to announce its 1st conference on 21 Nov 2021, at 18.30! With Tommaso Giurati as guest speaker- one of the most knowledgeable and engaged figures at the French and European levels on the fight against mafia - the audience will delve into the complex thematic of the mafia, whether it even exists today, whether there is one in Menton, how organised crime is organised and structured. As Sciences Po students on the campus of Menton, the first French town after the Franco-Italian border and close to Ventimiglia, live in a critical area for migration and an area very concerned by the actions of the Ndrangheta (calabrese mafia), it is crucial for us to be aware of the phenomenon of the mafia.
