“WOMEN YOU CAN”

Associazione Logos Famiglia e Minori Siracusa

ITALIAN TARGET GROUPwyn

Our women’s group is composed by womenbetween 17 and 47 years old, with family, economical, social and cultural difficulties. These women, although many disadvantages, are people that are tryng to exploit their own capacities in order to integrate thereselves and live better in Siracusa.A lot of them was born in Siracusa, while someone come from other country: Romania, Eritrea, Polonia.Someone lives in comunity.

ITALIAN TARGET GROUPwyn

They are almost all mother, a lot of them works as colf, someone has attended to course of vocational training in order to learn new ability and put themselves to the test.

Almost all have a difficult story to narrate, many women are still living it.So, we think that “WYN” could be for them a further opportunity of expression and comparison between them and european women, to develop personal and social ability.

WE HAVE MANY DREAMS…

LABORATORY TO INQUIRE NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES


THE QUESTIONNAIREThe laboratory to inquire needs is made by a questionnaire.We have asked to women to answer to questions and after they have discussed in couple.The aim of the questionnaire is the analysis of the past, the present and the future and to make a personal balance.

QUESTIONNAIRE TO ANALYSE THE NEEDS

Nome…………….. Data……………….

Di seguito vi presentiamo degli esercizi allo scopo di riflettere sui vostri bisogni e progetti di vita personali e lavorativi.Anche se molte cose non dipendono da noi ma dall’ambiente esterno (società, famiglia) riteniamo che sia possibile utilizzare al meglio le proprie risorse per modificare quegli aspetti della vita che non ci soddisfano e adattarci al meglio.Gli esercizi consentono uno spunto di riflessione sul proprio passato, presente e futuro.

REPORT OF THE LABORATORY

From this laboratory is emerged that our women have common needs and similar

dreams.

They believe to posses other qualities to offer to the society

NEEDS….

Work They dislike their work because is weary

and boring Many work as colf and this work is not

good paid

Relations Some are alone, without a boyfriend or an

husband because they have spent a difficult past of abandon or violence.

Many are disappointed from life Their social life is not rich

DREAMS…

Work They hope to improve their own work,

change it or organising it better, to make sure their sons.

They would like to learn using computer, english language and understand how find a new work with their possibilities.

Other desire that the husband change his work!


Relationship Many desire a flat because they live in

family home. Others desire a better flat.

Many have even a little hope to find a right man.

They desire know people to share their difficulties, to know different ways to live and different cultures


ENGLISH TIME!

“English time” is a space, created to give the right tools to the girls in order to make presentations, to learn new vocabulary items, and to use interrogative forms, in particular colours and to requests of scissors, felt or markers ( objects used during the creativity laboratory) using the auxiliary

verb "can".

We have thought these short english lessons to give them simple and basic ways to communicate between them (somebody doesn’t speak italian) and later with the other european women.

Presentation of Project Grundtvigt “Women you can”

&Projection of the movie

“How to Make an American Quilt”

Presenta

Proiezione del film

“How to Make an American Quilt

Gli anni dei ricordidiretto da Jocelyn Moorhouse, tratto da un racconto di Whitney Otto.

“Un gruppo di donne si incontra davanti ad un tè per realizzare una trapunta. . L’occasione permetterà ad ognuna di raccontarsi la propria storia, unica e simile allo stesso tempo, costruita pezzo per pezzo grazie al contributo e al sostegno di ogni racconto... . . . proprio come avviene quando si cuce una coperta . . . proprio come avviene quando si cuce una coperta ”

“Group of women have usually a meeting by a tea to realize a quilt.

The occasion will permit to everybody to tell their own story, only and similar at

the same time, built piace for piace thanks

to the contribute and the support of every story… the same happens

when a quilt is stitched”

“WYN” AND THE MOVIE

As “Logos Association” the movie is for “WYN project” and for our women’s group a

beautiful occasion.It represents a real parallelism between the research of meaning and harmony that

everybody search in life and the meaning and the

harmony of quilt’s pieces.

The importance of the narration

In the movie, the narration consents the research of coherence of the events of life.The narration is, infact, as LOGOS, a precious instrument of research of meaning, above all when it consents to tell to other people that share the same problems and, therefore, they listen with respect and attention.

The importance of women!

In the movie, it isn’t a case that who tell are women!The women have the art to tell herselfs and to tell to others, to share their emotions, to listen toother people.This art of women is, according to us, a resource that is in our country, above all in this period, to encourage and remember.

CREATIVITY WORKSHOP

IMAGES SPEAK MORE THAN WORDS …

THE BLANCHET: the meaning

Our blanchet wants to represent the vitality of women,

their ability to create, change and make new things.

For us this creativity is represented by butterflyes.

If each butterfly, young or mature, simple or complicated, happy or sad, is joining to other

butterflies, it can do big things togheter.

The trees and the flowers represent the growth that we

wish to our women in this project and in their life.

THE BLANCHET: the manufacture

Our blanchet is created on a cloth in which we have sewed pictures of flowers and batterflyies with the skill of “cross stitch”.

Then we have sewed colored butterfly and flowers made by felt on a green limb of felt.

Some butterfly is made on knitted work.
