June 20 between Rome and Florence #WithRefugees
On June 20, the world celebrates International Refugee Day, a day to reflect together on the drama of millions of people forced to leave their countries due to conflict, violence and persecution.
Our June 20 will be divided between Rome and Florence so we can take up two prestigious invitations.
In Rome, in the morning, we will be guests of UNAR, the National Office Against Racial Discrimination, at Palazzo Chigi. Our friends from RFC Lions Caserta will be there with us. Both teams won the Disciplinary Cup in their respective leagues in the season just completed – two teams that make respect one of the founding values of their work. These results are a strong confirmation of this.
We will be joined by important figures from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), the Carta di Roma association, and the FARE network, and together we will all underline the important role played by sport in the process of integration of refugees and asylum seekers.
In Florence, in the late afternoon, we will be guests of UNHCR Italy on the occasion of the concert that will be held at the Visarno Arena, during which many artists will take the stage to support the #WithRefugees campaign. We will be interviewed so we can tell the story of our project, one that has always had the patronage of the UNHCR.
In the morning in Florence, one of our lads will take part in the press conference to present the concert where he will be in the company of other important institutional figures. To Soumaila, who will be representing us, we wish the best of luck, secure in the knowledge that he will be able to tell our story in the best possible way.
It promises to be a really rich day that will be full of emotion and which will surely enter our album of memories and encourage us to believe even more in our work so we can keep improving and becoming more and more effective.
