The docufilm TERRA at “Fausto Rossano award for the full right to health”.

The story of the international initiative realised by Autism Aid Onlus in the context of the RESMYLE project supported by AMESCI, RESMYLE partner in Italy.

On 15 October 2023, at 11:00, in Collina San Laise, as part of the 2023 edition of the "Fausto Rossano Award for the full right to health", there was a screening of the docufilm "Terra", by the director Francesco Delia.

Terra is the story of the international training workshop titled « Terra » : the Future as cultural Horizon, organized by AutismAid Onlus, in collaboration with the Associazione La Croce del Sud and Dissonanzen, and coordinated by Fondazione Amesci as the part of the project RESMYLE – Rethinking Employment and Social insertion for Mediterranean Young People through Local sustainable development, funded by the European programme ENI CBC Med 2014-2020. An international initiative that brought together Italian and foreign young people in activities aimed at reimagining the world in a more ethical and inclusive way, that is more sustainable, for the environment and for the people who live in it.

The “Fausto Rossano award for the full right to health” is an annual cultural event created with the intention of remembering the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Fausto Rossano, who was the last director of the ex psychiatric hospital Leonardo Bianchi, of Naples, and the author of his own resignation.

It is an annual film award organized by the “Associazione Premio Fausto Rossano” and it has been held since 2015. In each edition the most urgent and current themes have been chosen to focus on and raise awareness of: themes related to the right to health and protection of people, minorities, the most vulnerable, and in general, everything that has to do with social hardship and human suffering (both mental and non-mental) and with all the rights connected and inherent to it.

The documentary is a witness to how experts, scholars, activists, musicians, intellectuals, artists, dancers, and cultural heritage professionals, have come together through practices of engaged pedagogy, intercultural dialogue, and non-formal education activities, and have discussed new paths and perspectives for a socioeconomic model centered on creative and social work, and on artistic and cultural heritage as inexhaustible and circular tools and sources of etical and sustainable work and development. Terra shows how it is possible to interpret our time in an ethical and inclusive key through the return to young people of working skills in the field of cultural tourism and social, cultural and artistic work. The work of Francesco Delia, producted by Autism Aid, « conveys the deep meaning of an experience whose values are indissolubly linked to the neurodivergent young people, with whom, for years, we have been building paths, and, involved in the workshop activities, they have played an extrordinay role as main characters », as declared by the President of Autism Aid, Paolo Vassallo.
