PRESS RELEASE - PLEASE, HELP US TO SPREAD THIS
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I've seen a forsaken place put back in the community, I've seen children attend the afterschool and social activities in the CPO Experia instead of staying in the decay of an district abandoned by authorities. I've seen multi-ethnical cultural events, theater and musical gigs, art exibition, hi-level training course in the CPO Experia, where the district offer just arcade room, carnazzerie, deterioration and neglect. I've seen willing boys roll up their sleeves and working day by day mading a magix place, point of reference for social and cultural activities vital for a district that, without the CPO Experia, has really few things to offer. And all those moments, will be lost in the time... like tears in the rain... It's time to REACT!!

It 'a tough day for the slender democracy in Catania and the guys (and girls) of Experia appeal to solidarity of all the Democrats and the antimafia people. - Riccardo Orioles Siblings of Freaknet MediaLab, of Poetry Hacklab and Dyne.org are astonished and hallucinated by what happened this morning. Seventeen years of culture, antimafia, social activities, classes, activities at the highest level for a while swept away by the decision of the magistrate who for years seems to have fixed point in fighting the Social Centers. Our disdain for this operation is very high, our solidarity and our love go to the CPO Experia Companions and all those who, like us, believe in a future of Culture, Freedom and Sharing.
