Molenbeek, Brussels
Reportage realized by ARCI Chieti and Pac Evere in cooperation
with Ikonoblast and Officine Culturali Media Lab inside
some youth centres (Maison Jeune) in Molenbeek, Brussels.
As far as youth policies are concerned, the neighbourhood
of Molenbeek represents an interesting experiment in a “border” area,
with a strong presence of immigrants, in which is quite
necessary a specific work finalised to the integration.
The methodologies used in the youth centres, the practices
and activities managed by the social workers represent
an important moment for the growth of the adolescents of
the neighbourhood transforming social places in meeting
points among cultures in which to express a full citizenship.
