COM NUOVI TEMPI through Confronti magazine developed during the years project such as “Semi di Pace” (Seeds of Peace) and “Fiori di Pace” (Flowers of Peace”) for dialogue in Middle East, involving youth and adults from Israel and Palestinian territories in order to give to Italian public the opportunity to know the situation in Middle East from the voice of people that struggles for reconciliation and a just peace.

ComeUnaMarea Onlus is a non-profit cultural association born in Palermo in 2005 that pursues purposes of social utility, implementing eco-compatible development models and social equity.
Our work, in the initial phase, had the cultural promotion as its objective (our first projects were supported by the Cultural Heritage Department of the Sicilian Region). Over the years, the association expanded its activity areas including Human Rights, social sustainability, environmental protection, non-formal education.
The expansion has produced other ways of collaborating (primary and secondary schools, universities, third sector entities, companies) and reaching new goals with different and increasingly prestigious interlocutors, especially international ones.
Our activity mainly consists in carrying forward an active and participatory citizenship.
People must become responsible for their own decisions, aware of their own value and rights and duties and of their own passions and needs as individuals.
To facilitate and support this participatory cultural growth, particular attention is paid to the involvement of young people.
We dedicate specific efforts to children to help them in their intellectual growth, alongside and supporting schools with non-formal and informal education projects on cultural and environmental issues. At the same time, our work cannot take place without interacting with and with the family.
LEGAL EDUCATION
Our commitment to education on legality combines a daily work of widespread education in the area with participation in demonstrations against the Mafia and with the implementation of active citizenship education activities.
A commitment whose recognition was such as to allow our association to move its new headquarters to a confiscated property assigned to us for this purpose.
INTEGRATION
In contrast to gender-based violence, we lead awareness-raising initiatives, combining different skills and different interlocutors (Schools, Public Administrations, NGOs, realities in the health sector and universities).
We are founding members and implementers of the COMMUNITY OF RESPECT project, an initiative which, in synergy with similar Italian and foreign realities aims to carry forward the concept of respect in a broad sense, both towards the individual and towards the environment, coining it through different themes and perspectives.
SUSTAINABILITY
In addition to our participation in the European Week for Sustainable Development promoted by UNESCO and the EWWW European Week for Waste Reduction, we support initiatives aimed at environmental, ecological and social sustainability.
In support of environmental sustainability we have carried out circular economy projects related to the recovery of textile waste and the reinvention of products starting from waste material, in order to promote the durability of clothing and accessories and the awareness of the polluting impact on the part of the participants of the fashion sector (Project RinF, Recycle in Fashion).
SHARING ECONOMY
One of the activities we are most proud of is our BANK OF TIME, born in Palermo in 2010.
It is an initiative that looks at social issues through a reciprocity project. A sort of society on the move in which the skills and competences of the individual are measured in terms of time "to be shared" and "shared".
The Time Bank is not a voluntary project, even if its members are all volunteers, but an indirect reciprocity. In fact, through the exchange, doing "something for" we end up "doing something with", that is, it is the relational and convivial aspect that prevails while the functional aspect remains extremely important.

The task of the Association is to promote development projects in developing countries, through awareness campaigns and public events and mainly operates on two levels: one that involves the realization of micro-projects and the second concerning interventions of greater size as the launch of microenterprises in Africa and in particular in the Sahel region.
MICROPROJECTS
Through national media campaigns (for example Campaign "Against Hunger Change Life" and "Adopt a dad in the South of the World", already launched by Pope John Paul II In the angelus of 18 March 2001) the association works with the Missionary Institutes present in more than 40 poor countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Congo, Ecuador, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Haiti, India and Peru, for the promotion of projects of distance adoptions . These initiatives aim to create job opportunities locally, with pay, for poor householders.
MICRO-ENTERPRISES
This program was started in 2002 and aims to support the creation of a micro-business background in poor countries, through an action of participatory planning and training in the laboratory made possible by collaboration between lenders, missionary world and small Italian enterprises.
Since 2007, the Committee works with the John Paul II for the Sahel Foundation, established in Burkina Faso under the auspices of the Pontifical Council "Cor Unum", which aims to promote projects of human, social and economic development in the nine countries of the Sahel.
The projects are based on the full involvement of small and medium-sized European companies - through the creation of medium and long term partnership with the operators in developing countries, providing in particular the provision of know-how and technology and the training of local staff. In this way one can increase their level of internationalization and contribute in some way to the reduction of the phenomenon of unemployment in Europe, particularly serious in the present economic situation.
What we expect to achieve is, an ethical approach to the African Continent, by many defined “the Continent of the Future”; helping European companies to grow in the African market while accompanying the growth of the African market itself. In particular, the aim is to give rise to an virtuous internationalization, so that it may be true development cooperation in terms of training of local staff, transfer of production know-how and technology in particular.
Since the beginning up to now they were made 28,024 micro-projects which include sponsorships of children and dad, micro projects in agriculture, food, education, energy, water, etc ..
Have been made, the following Micro in collaboration with the Missionary Institutes :
1. Achievement in Derrière-Wharf on the outskirts of Abidjan in Ivory Coast, the "Artisans Program" through which about sixty young graduates were able to start their work and production in their country.
2. Implementation of the "Training School for Carpenters" in the village of Kwentou, in Burkina Faso, which gives young people practical tools to enable small businesses and cooperatives of artisans.
From 2008 to date the following cooperation projects have been carried out in the Sahel in collaboration with the John Paul II Foundation for the Sahel :
1. Construction of a mill and a multipurpose room in Noaka, Burkina Faso
2. Construction of a cereal bank to Boala, Burkina Faso
3. Education and training of women's groups to design and pilot operation of income-generating activities in 47 Departments in Burkina Faso
4. Construction of a water pipe for irrigation in the center of the mission at Brin, Senegal
5. Annual program of support for the design of programs of breeding cattle to Ringuissi, Burkina Faso
6. Construction and installation of a power plant with photovoltaic panels Tiedin in Burkina Faso
7. Construction of a house and a shed for children and street children in Kaya in Burkina Faso
8. Program of construction of two boreholes in villages and Bisgé Tamasgo in Burkina Faso
9. Creation of a well equipped with a hand pump Bantuankepela in Burkina Faso
10. Construction of a multipurpose room equipped and functional Diannah- Malary in Senegal
11. Starting a sartorial involving 40 women in Cairo
12. Construction of a well for the children of a primary school and the village population Nohoungo / Bollin, in Burkina Faso
