2010 Youth Volunteer: The proposed Branco Solidarity Why are young people, or at least seem quite distant and even strangers to the world of Volunteering?
What are the reasons for their alleged social withdrawal?
And why, increasingly, instead of looking for legitimate reasons of leisure, prefer to do despicable acts or gross illegality? are questions with a "million euro", on which should seriously question the voluntary associations, but also institutions, political parties, the school, the family, the adult world in general. We
"Branco Solidarity", rather than provide answers, we want to appeal to young people to approach the world of volunteering and discover the riches, the hidden resources that many associations have to offer to boys and girls.
must first dispel that common place that is volunteering as fatigue and pain.
Volunteering is not just dedication and commitment free, but is much more!
whoever volunteers "earn" in humanity, relationships, harmony, security, satisfaction, "meaning", identity, group, and maybe ... even a place in Heaven!
We believe, from personal experience that volunteering can be the answer to the needs of young people, or particular needs: Belonging, social interaction, sharing of values \u200b\u200band ideals, Communication, Autonomy, Protagonist, personal and professional fulfillment, self esteem and acceptance.
We think that volunteering can make a "sense" the things we do can be taught to discuss, negotiate, and resolve problems, to recognize and confront their differences, to respect commitments, timetables and roles.
The choice of social, the decision to engage in voluntary work or other forms of social and cultural activity, may be the answer for healthy, positive young men scattered and bored, in order to fill their inner emptiness, the emotional desert in which they live, often escaping from reality and responsibilities, looking for intense stimuli, sensations or artificial paradise (alcohol, drugs, pleasure, wealth, power, etc.)..
Young people to meet their need for socialization and belonging, important in the age of adolescence, they rely on models wrong, for pathological aggregation, thus becoming part of a violent or other criminal transgression of a "pack unconscious, "where the individual conscience is completely annulled by the unique power of the undisputed leader, fear of punishment and exclusion, uniformity and gregariousness.
happens so than boys, apparently normal, which certainly can not be classified as career criminals, they become "shabby heroes, protagonists of vandalism, violence, unprecedented and real crimes. Maybe just for fun, to escape from boredom, a strong emotion to try to capture the attention of adults, or to demonstrate to other team members to "have courage" to respect the "law of the pack."
are young with no history and no future, who choose to live day by day, without any planning and no evolution towards a full social maturity.
So, our proposal is that the young people to join in a new model of the herd, a "Solidarity Branco" precisely to create a conscious and responsible group, where they can be good players in their own future and manufacturers a better world.
Be the "new heroes of the pack"!
