nationality still prevail over others, such as mutual assistance within a group of people from the same country. In the past, particularly during the ‘90s, this manner of communal living seemed like it might evolve into more mature and diversified types of association (cultural, political, athletic, based on voluntary work and so forth). The rapid transformations that have characterised the world of immigration in recent years, together with the dowturn which has affected immigrants’ living conditions and the failure of many projects that marked the first phase, between the end of the ‘80s and the beginning of the ‘90s, ensured that the spread of opportunities remained contained within certain limits. However, several meaningful initiatives arose in newly devised areas of intervention. Readers may recall, for example, the foreign youth who, referring both to their countries of origin and, more frequently, to their status of Italians in every way except by law, initiated various communal experiences, albeit fragile, as is the case with most associations built up around young people. It is necessary to pay close attention to this ever‐changing world, promoting its growth and development by means of specific projects and resources. We need only think, for example, of the initiative carried out by the Emilia Romagna region to allow young people of foreign origin to participate in the regional civil service scheme. Strong commitment is also essential in the field of women’s associations, wich already operate today but have not so far proved hugely successful, to prevent female emancipation and the condition of foreign women, young or otherwise, from remaining trapped between a public portrayal linked to cultural anti‐immigrant and anti‐Islamic stereotypes and a forced isolation, fuelled by the social and institutional discrimination that impacts foreign families. The projects undertaken recently or in the past, as well as the various forms of assembly that can be encountered within the social environments already frequented by immigrants (places of gathering, either formal or informal, with all their possible ramifications), must be encouraged with targeted policies and the use of public resources, in such a way as to invest in the future of our democracy. Social organizations, at least in part, are also trying to assist the process of participation and association undertaken by immigrants, admittedly with many limitations and contradictions. We are dealing with a complex task that requires a structural change in the manner in which individual initiative is promoted and community leaders are selected. In this like in other areas, immigration gives rise to questions that concern all of us, because the space for participation, indipendence and personal achievement within social organizations is often limited and regimented. It is necessary to promote initiatives aimed at revitalizing the area by creating dynamic and pluralist relationships and, in this way, inventing new outlets for the personal development of foreigners, within collective projects aimed solely at achieving these goals. In order to reach such important targets, it is may also prove necessary for the organizations to shed some of their old habits and, above all, to revise procedures, timing and mechanisms that help to create the spaces which can be filled by new community leaders. 64
To begin with the familiar, with complex social organizations that have a firm base in our country, can be a good way of test‐driving new types of participation and personal achievement. This can occur only if we follow up on our promises of targeted initiatives and projects. If it is true that immigration is a complex social process and thus needs the support of public policies, it is equally true that the specific juridical and social conditions we are dealing with, together with a distorted and exploitative public portrayal, require specific undertakings and provisions; if we fail to meet these conditions, any real change is out of the question. 65
