Happy Winter: Discussion Guide Taking Action

Taking Action

If the group is having trouble generating their own ideas for next steps, these suggestions can help get things started:

● Research low cost education in your country and its effects on job readiness and access.

● Learn more about migration into Italy, including the causes of displacement.

● Learn about the changing political climate in Italy and the rise of populism through a variety of media sources that describe the conflict from multiple angles.

● Organize opportunities to educate your friends, family and community about changes in your country’s political and economic climate. Provide them with facts, not speculation.

● Advocate for groups that you feel are being wrongfully being blamed for challenges in your country.

● Learn about populism and how populist politicians build political followings.

● Take care of your own mental health in times of struggle and economic duress.
