N the past few months, leading up to the fortieth anniversary of the great youth movement of '68 , we have seen a systematic attack by well-known politicians and educators alleged that movement and, above all, his achievements social and political .
This behavior reveals the full intentions reactionary or, worse, restorer of the ruling class that seeks to demonize the extraordinary historical moment. It 'true that the movement has also made mistakes but it' s not acceptable that there are "men of power" dedicated to trying to clear their achievements worker, student and feminist and occupy significant space to label the media as harmful to the country the fact that young people decide to take an interest in a specific and autonomous problems of the school and the country in general. Moreover, the history of Italy denies these same locations: the student representatives now have become sad excuses for popularity contests or something for all those student groups (which are real party organs) who try to use the benefit of their interests the ignorance of many students to miserable campaign: and the effects of this situation we see today. The political and social crisis that we live in these months is the daughter of the Second Republic, marked the end of the political youth, and consequently the lack of a renewal and a new air only young people could carry.
We have to be us, then, to have the courage and strength to change. The courage to reject the common idea that only young people can be careless and ignorant, or shaped and manipulated by fashion or dangerous street thugs. The courage to "scream" our rebellion against those who decide our future, thinking only of their own interests, the courage to insist on being heard, the strength to say NO at this school, this policy, this company ' and at the same time, to voice our ideas , our plans, our dreams to say ... YES to our alternative school, society 'and politics.
If we live in a country devastated responsibilities 'are certainly the generations that preceded us but unless we decide now without' refer to mobilize for change, the responsibility for 'more' would be our great!
We need to start actively be concerned of the issues that negatively affect our present youth / students are our future citizens, we must strive to build another school , to study in buildings that do not fall apart, to have updated equipment and professors really able to exploit them, for a total revision of educational programs, as the current ones are old and very restrictive , for the creation of paths training are able to prepare properly for specific business and at university, to build a school open to ideas and suggestions of young people who did not presume to judge them unwarranted, a school that is the space of a free and constructive confrontation that goes beyond teaching and notional schematic dictated by the conformist and oppressive nature of the current programs of the Ministry ... And we must also address the problems that afflict the country out of the school, damaging the future of tomorrow today, and the precariousness ' and insecurity in the workplace, the lack of specific environmental policies, truly revolutionary, the unchallenged growth of the unequal social and economic, a ruling class too often driven by interests or corrupt ambiguous, the prevalence of politicians incapable of making clear choice in the national interest, the protagonists of the policy "but also" unable to ensure a policy ' self-determination of citizens, patsy interference or the Vatican or the warmongering policies of economic lobbies or other nations.
The main obstacle 'great right now that prevents the emergence of a strong student movement and' the lack of a proper and thorough information and knowledge of the problems both at school and extracurricular in the vast majority of us young people. The only possible solution to this serious problem and 'being able to properly use the only means at our disposal: assemblies, self-management, co-management, etc ... occupations
E 'unnecessary down, as often happens now, debate and discussion on school, work, the environment ... if you lack the basic knowledge of the subject and the various problems.
E 'essential so that from now on to the bitter end to be organized in each school's daily campaigns (against) information, conferences, lectures, films, leaflets, talks, reports prepared by students, events in which students are involved in several institutes ... that serve to explain, to tell and make known the problems that confront us.
need only three things: knowledge , determination, creativity '.
Saturday, March 1, 2008 was celebrated in Rome on the 40th anniversary of the largest student mobilization of Valle Giulia, which, in fact, opened 'the season sessantottino. Do not let the celebration remains a blank but we do it 'which is the starting point of our season, our change! What is the beginning of our revolution social, cultural and political!
This appeal therefore invites all high school students and university to self-organize and mobilize the first aim of inform the masses and to develop students' discussions and meetings, in the second to realize our ideas on developing real proposals change what and how.
Now every day we have to organize debates and discussions (v) information, demonstrations, sit-ins, blockades and protests, ... both morning and afternoon, both within the Schools in the streets and squares ... give vent to our dreams, and the important 'fight time *, aware and determined. We occupy our schools. Take back our city. Let our revolution!
----------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
From this appeal can start a great season of change. E 'is essential, however, that this appeal will reach every Italian student. To make this possible it is important that all those who approve these words ...
- ... spread the appeal on the widest number of forums, various blogs and sites frequented by young and / or students.
- ... create the appropriate chains of email / sms that these issues are important and affect us all.
- ... stencil roll call, use it to create flyer and / or posters etc ... and then to spread it at school (inside and outside the building, classrooms, including representatives ...), squares. in the streets and around buildings used as a meeting point for students and young
We must ensure that every student can contribute to this student our revolution, this our season of change !
