Caritas Diocesana Trieste at the 50th Edition of the Social Weeks
Today marks the opening of the 50th edition of the Social Weeks of Catholics in Italy, an event aiming to explore the paths leading "To the Heart of Democracy". This journey to "participate between history and progress" involves sharing the present and envisioning the future through moments of dialogue and exchange, intending to ignite the spark of shared civic and social participation.
Inaugurated today by President Mattarella, the event is also open to the city and its residents, offering a series of activities, meetings, and events focused on the "Laboratories of Participation", the "Villages of Good Practices" with over 100 stands from businesses, social cooperatives, and third-sector entities, and the "Squares of Democracy", hosting more than 50 speakers and witnesses.
The event will conclude with a Mass celebrated by the Holy Father Francis on Sunday, July 7, in Piazza Unità d’Italia.
Caritas Diocesana Trieste will participate in the event with “Right to Work, Right to Study, Right to the Future”, a participatory research that will conclude at the plenary sessions with the delegates, and with Cantiere Carcere, present in Piazza del Ponterosso with a dedicated stand and a rich program of activities.
Right to Work, Right to Study, Right to the Future
On July 4, at 11:00 AM, the co-researchers who have been working on the participatory research “Right to Work, Right to Study, Right to the Future” in recent months will meet. The group includes volunteer citizens and people currently in a difficult employment situation, balanced between men and women, with a prevalence of workers: together, they will discuss the main themes that emerged from interviews conducted in Trieste and by the Caritas organizations of Pordenone, Trento, Verona, and Vittorio Veneto.

The group includes volunteer citizens and people currently in a difficult employment situation, balanced between men and women, with a prevalence of workers: together, they will discuss the main themes that emerged from interviews conducted in Trieste and by the Caritas organizations of Pordenone, Trento, Verona, and Vittorio Veneto.
The identified theme is the right to work, from the perspectives of those who cannot find it, the working poor, and those with vulnerabilities that allow access only to certain types of employment paths – all in light of recent studies, highlighting an ongoing change where work does not always succeed as a tool to escape poverty or plan for the future, acting as a means for the construction of the common good and self-realization.
The research aims to analyze the perception of the knowledge of the right to work to discover if it is indeed recognized as such and how it can be demanded if necessary.

Faithful to its objectives of raising awareness on prison issues, organizing shared spaces and moments of participation to build a shared language, and facilitating the reintegration of prison inmates, Cantiere Carcere will animate the stand in Piazza del Ponterosso with representatives from some of the 18 entities that make this important tool possible in the territory.
