Introduction. The health, economic and social crisis caused by the Covid 19 pandemic in Italy has produced a wide range of consequences and reactions. It has favoured the re-emergence of intergenerational conflicts that had long been latent. The present article focuses on this phenomenon in depth and analyses the most salient results of a study conducted in the Emilia Romagna region. In this study, different generational groups were interviewed, from adolescents to adults and the elderly. Methodology. The study was performed in November 2020, in the days immediately after measures to contain the epidemic were introduced via governmental decree. Strict limitations to individual behaviour, school attendance and the possibility of exercising certain professions were announced. The opinions of young people, adults and the elderly were collected regarding: the Italian government's decisions; the concept of health; social life; and behaviours relating to the respect or not of the restrictions. Based on the gathered data, the present work sought to highlight the generational specificities, commonalities and, above all, the elements of intergenerational conflict. Results. A picture emerged in which, alongside the shared admission that health – understood in its broadest sense of physical and psychological well-being – must be protected and defended, each generational group also considered its own demands as a priority. These demands were linked to the enjoyment of social life, to work needs and to their own specific health requirements. They also presented themselves as victims of rules and behaviours that were not very protective and that favoured, above all, other age groups. An excess of self-referentiality, which cut across all age groups, led to closing in on themselves and implosions, arousing conflicting positions. Discussion and conclusions. The reported opinions testify to the re-emergence of a hitherto underlying intergenerational conflict, stemming from the new generations' difficulties regarding social mobility, but also from a culture of selfish hedonism. Until the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, this hedonism had been manifesting itself as a consequence of an ultraliberalism that puts the dimensions of «having» before that of «being», and the «individual» before the «community».

La crisis sanitaria, económica y social provocada por la pandemia de Covid 19 en Italia ha producido un amplio abanico de consecuencias y reacciones, favoreciendo la reaparición de conflictos intergeneracionales que han estado latentes desde hace mucho tiempo. Este artículo pretende ofrecer un estudio en profundidad de este fenómeno, presentando un análisis de los resultados más destacados de una investigación realizada en la región de Emilia Romagna, mediante entrevistas a una muestra de personas pertenecientes a diferentes grupos generacionales, desde adolescentes hasta personas adultas y ancianas. Metodología. La investigación se llevó a cabo en noviembre de 2020, en los días inmediatamente posteriores a la emisión de un decreto gubernamental que introdujo medidas para contener la epidemia entre las que figuraban severas limitaciones relativas al comportamiento individual, la asistencia a centros educativos y la posibilidad de ejercer algunas profesiones. Mediante el análisis de las opiniones de personas jóvenes, adultas y ancianas sobre las decisiones del gobierno italiano, el concepto de salud, la vida social y el comportamiento de las personas en relación con el respeto o no de las restricciones, el artículo tiene como objetivo resaltar las especificidades de cada generación, los aspectos en común y, sobre todo, los elementos de conflicto entre generaciones. Resultados. Surge un cuadro en el que, junto a la aceptación compartida de que la salud, entendida en su sentido más amplio de bienestar físico y psicológico, debe ser protegida y defendida, cada grupo generacional considera también como una prioridad sus propias demandas vinculadas al disfrute de la vida social, a las necesidades laborales y a las especificidades del estado de salud de cada grupo, presentándose como víctima de normas y comportamientos poco protectores, dirigidos sobre todo a favorecer a personas de otros grupos de edad. El exceso de autorreferencialidad, transversal a todos los grupos de edad, conduce a cierres e implosiones, favoreciendo la aparición de posiciones conflictivas. Discusión y conclusiones. Las opiniones recogidas atestiguan el resurgimiento de un conflicto intergeneracional que antes permanecía sumergido e implícito, y que tiene sus raíces en las dificultades de movilidad social que enfrentan las nuevas generaciones, pero también en una cultura de hedonismo egoísta que, hasta la propagación de la epidemia de Covid 19, se estaba manifestando como consecuencia de un ultraliberalismo que antepone las dimensiones del «tener» a las del «ser» y el «individuo» a la «comunidad».

Starting from a preliminary definition of the concept of mediation and its possible applications, this article aims to deepen the concept and practice of intercultural mediation. After an analysis of the reality of multicultural society in Italy and of the phenomenon of the arrival of refugees and asylum seekers from Africa, we will move on to presenting the principles and good practices of intercultural mediation implemented in the reception and integration services. Finally, the results of a research carried out within the services of the city of Reggio Emilia, in particular through group discussions with young men seeking asylum, guests of some residential structures, will be presented

Aiming at contributing to a better understanding of the current developments, paradoxes and ways to deal with youth political participation in Europe, the main research question of the PARTISPACE project is: How and where do 15- to 30 year-old young people participate differently across social milieus and youth cultural scenes and across eight European cities (framed by different national welfare, education and youth policies)? In relation to this research question, this report was intended to delineate the overall social, political, institutional and cultural framework in which the project PARTISPACE is placed and to identify the main starting points for the development of the forthcoming fieldwork. In so doing, the report has outlined the scenario of youth participation in the eight countries involved in the PARTISPACE project.

The PARTISPACE study aims at undertaking a comparative analysis of youth participation or their involvement and engagement in decisions 'which concern them and, in general, the life of their communities' (European Commission, 2001a: 8). The central research question of the project is how and where 15- and 30 year-old young people do participate differently across social milieus and youth cultural scenes and across eight European cities (framed by different national welfare, education and youth policies). What styles of participation do they prefer, develop and apply and in what spaces does participation take place? Answers to these questions could improve the understanding of the complexities and contradictions of youth participation – on the side of policy makers as well as on the side of young people – and thereby help empowering young people in participating in society, renovating also concepts, definitions and discourses on what (youth) participation is, could and should be. The eight European cities in which we conduct the study are Bologna (IT), Eskisehir (TK), Frankfurt (DE), Gothenburg (SE), Manchester (UK), Plovdiv (BG), Rennes (FR) and Zurich (CH). They do not represent but secure contrasting contexts of young people's growing up as well as differing orientations towards Europe. Although embedded in different national and local contexts, these eight cities are comparable in terms of dimension and relevance in the respective country. This ensures a sufficient provision and diversity of participatory settings without being too close to representative national government institutions and umbrella structures.
