REDAZIONE DI MICROCOSMO
 Microcosmo is a magazin done in the prison , created by the
detenuees It is a working permanent place to develop ideas
and information
 Is a instrument of information for the external community
 To promote the information the people start from the
personal experience and develop concience about their own
point of view
 The prisoner is object and subject of observation: this is a
critical point in the working section, but also is a hight
instrument of personal growth
(vedi allegato B)
REDAZIONE DI MICROCOSMO
 The detenuees observe him self, the prison system and the
social system in the past, in the present and the future
 The personal history is readed in the human hystory: for this
reason , the autobiography describe the human history
 The autobiography, developed in the magazin redaction, is
linked to the social an historic events
Activities of MicroCosmo
 From the beggining the newspaper has started to write
about articles to be published; the motivation to bring
informations outside made evident the necessity to
start from himself, with selfcontrol and responsabilty,
and with the clearness of communicative objectves.
 The wish to write the newspaper has developed the
necessity to broaden giving birth to new ways of
research and experience.
 Therefore the Editorial Office has developed from its
own inside different plans with specific objectives,
that we can now summarize in:
 - jeornalism writing(vedi allegato B)
 - autobiographic writing
 - searching himself through pictures(vedi allegato D)
 - project of prevention about youth deviances
“Vedo Sento Parlo – il valore delle regole e l’esercizio
della legalità” (vedi allegato C)
The writing themes can be specific; downstairs we can
find one example done in the femail section for the
woman celebration on the 8° March.

prison: 50 people were involved (15 people for group)
The stories are preserved by the authors
We are giving here one example
In the woman section, connected with the argue existing in
the town, for the woman day - 8 march, the theme in the
group was “THE BODY”.
The idea to have the same argument between town and
prison was a very important input, giving the idea to the
prisoner women to stay in the same comunity
The writes of woman’s for 8 march
 The start was a discussion above a pubblic letter done by a

journalist
The beginning of the working group was hard , the
prisonners were talking just above “ pysicall character “
The conductor of the group , giving input with a brainstorming, (words –keys, that has been written in a black
board), gave suggestions to develop new ideas, new deep
feeling
Each woman , after the input, could write ( woman with not
good abilty in italian language were help in the exposition )
In the silence of the writing time, could emerge the deep
aspect of the argument, that was very sensitive about the
personal identity
 All the compositions done in the working group
demonstrated that a specific point in the woman’s life was
mouving their own future
 When the last pencil was put down in the room was
possible to feel a quite serene clima.
 In this silent clima it was seems that every woman was
inside in her self and also outside from herself, able to be
in a new dimension
 In different time the women were able to reed their own
products: to hear the different stories about different life
style was a positive imput
