 The blue of Unicef on the Vesuvio,  paints also the historical Maschio Angioino of Naples.
 On 9, 10, and 11 July: among people, for people, in people.


 "People" is the slogan selected for the 1st MEETING OF VOLUNTEERS that will pitch its "tents" just in the wonderful setting of Castel Nuovo among stands, expositions, games, round tables, concerts and thematic and deepening meetings. A real UNICEF open HOUSE for all people. "The event that we are going to celebrate is a dream that realized - as Vincenzo Spadafora (President of UNICEF Italia) says - Naples is the perfect setting to send a new, strong message of commitment in favour of childhood in Italy and in the world. Naples, with its colors, its contraddiuctions, its weaknesses and its beauties, is the image of our desire to talk about us and to tell, the central junction where a lot of voluntary and daily life experiences will meet". 
 It will not be an event like others. Over 1500 volunteers coming from all Italian regions will crowd the court of Maschio Angioino where the Nobel Prize for Peace 2003, the Iranian SHIRIN EBADY, will open the event interviewed by the journalist and war correspondent Franco Di Mare. Then videos from battlefields will be shown , and there will be also witnesses and chats with local authorities, the Major of Naples Rosa Russo Iervolino and the President of Regione Campania Antonio Bassolino, that have promoted the event. Besides, a lot of music with Peppe Barra, Neapolitan choruses and Brazilian dance that will add more rhytm to the event. Photos by Alfredo Falvo of Contrasto Agency, will accompany the course of visitors in the castle. An unpublished photographic exposition, entitled "Congo"will make more and more suggestive the three-day Neapolitan meeting.

But that isn't the end of it. At the meeting there will also be the GOODWILL AMBASSADORS, above all Lino Banfi, then Mario Porfido, Patrizio Rispo, Maria Rosaria Omaggio and also exception testimonials like Alessandra Mastronardi coming from the TV series I Cesaroni, Ferdi Berisa winner of Grande Fratello and Vladimir Luxuria that will tell her experience on the camp in Mozambico.
The themes that will be discusses in the round tables will be sport, health, children of the way, public safety, immigration in a succession of reality and different experiences chaired by famous journalists and hosts as Barbara Gobbi, Lucia Goracci, Luigi Necco, Livia Azzariti. And Oliviero Beha, too, that will show his new book "The new monsters".

 
Unicef Italy will launch a challenge to the world that will come through YOUNICEF, a new movement of ideas and suggestions with a great ambition: doing of voluntary work a kind of life style different from that of today. Young people without hands in pockets, ideas that will realize soon, supported also by the results of the survay DOXA, commissioned by UNICEF Italia on "Young people and voluntary work"and that will be presented at the end of the event.


At the presentation of YOUNICEF there will be the presence of monsignor H:E: Crescenzio Sepe Archbishop of Naples.
