AMU – Action for a united world (Azione per un Mondo Unito): an NGO with a familiar name in the field of international cooperation, that began with the aim of promoting projects in the southern hemisphere, and spreading a culture of dialogue and unity between peoples.
Over the years AMU has created 20 long-term development projects in Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Uganda, the Philippines and Croatia, It has also supported over 260 micro-projects, designed and carried out in response to local needs, and working with local communities, in many countries throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
The objective of all cooperative activities of AMU is the total development of the community that receives aid, achieved through the social and educational commitment of members of the Focolare Movement, present in those countries.
One of the aims of the meeting next June 2 and 3, which is for supporters of AMU and anyone interested in cooperation and development, is to recap the story of AMU, interviewing those who have been involved. It will also look, via video linkup, at development projects in Palestine and Congo, and in Argentina and Indonesia at projects that are helping these countries to pass from emergency situations back to normal life. A session called “AMU for a culture of fraternity”, will explore the concept of global awareness and citizenship. The final session will be devoted to the cultural implications of “development and reciprocity” and the conclusion will look ahead to future projects and ideas in Italy and the rest of the world.
