June 17, 2025 | Spazio Europa Experience | ROME
On Monday, June 17, at Spazio Europa Experience, the event "Spazio civico sotto attacco – Nasce l’Hub di protezione per attivistɜ criminalizzatɜ" was held—an intense and well-attended gathering marking the presentation of the 2024 Report on Civic Space in Italy.
During the event, supported by Future Rights, which also participated, the Protection Hub for Criminalized Activists was officially launched—one of the key actions of the European project Net4Defenders, coordinated by a network of organizations including ARCI, Amnesty International, Un Ponte Per, COSPE, Greenpeace, ASUD, Legal Team Italia, Antigone, Baobab Experience, and the In Difesa Di Network.
The project, currently active not only in Italy but also in France, Spain, Slovenia, and Poland, aims to build national hubs capable of monitoring and documenting cases of criminalization, providing training on digital protection and security, offering legal, psychological, and technical support, and carrying out advocacy actions at the European level.
Join Us for a Powerful Youth-Led Working Session at the World Congress!
Future Rights APS and Terre des Hommes Foundation are co-hosting a dynamic session in collaboration with youth from the Child and Youth Advisory Committee and activists from Red Interquorum Pasco (Peru), as part of the upcoming 5th World Congress on Justice With and For Children.
These events serve as an interactive platform for meaningful discussions and collective action, bringing together global leaders and experts, child justice practitioners, policymakers, academics, civil society representatives—and crucially, children and young people themselves.
Our parallel session on the 3rd of June at 16:00 Block C, will explore first-hand experiences and solutions from youth directly affected by climate and environmental crises and injustice, while examining how to use advocacy tools through an intersectional approach.
👉 We warmly invite you to register and join the conversation here
On March 28, 2025, from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM, at Sala Tobino, Palazzo Ducale in Lucca, Regione Toscana, Cesvot, and CNV will host a seminar titled "JOULE – Young Energy." This event offers a meaningful opportunity to explore and connect with organizations dedicated to working with and for young people.
The seminar takes inspiration from the concept of "joule," the unit of measurement for energy in physics—symbolizing the capacity to create movement, generate change, and transform systems. In the context of society, communities, and neighborhoods, young people represent the most powerful driving force for transformation.
"Joule" will focus on the evolving concept of work—not only as a professional pursuit but as a form of commitment that fosters personal and collective growth. Through volunteerism, civic engagement, and political participation, work becomes a form of social energy capable of reshaping communities and strengthening the ties that bring people together.
The event will reflect on this transformative energy, exploring how it can drive change, generate warmth, and illuminate the path toward a better future. We will be sharing Future Rights experiences, come and visit us!
