General Context
Un Ponte Per (UPP) is a voluntary association founded in 1991, immediately after the bombing of Iraq, which promotes solidarity initiatives for Iraqis who suffered during the war. Originally called Un Ponte Per Baghdad (a bridge to Baghdad), the association later became simply Un Ponte Per, after expanding its work into Serbia and Kosovo, as well as other countries in the Middle East and Mediterranean. The aim of UPP is the prevention of new conflicts, particularly in the Middle East. This is achieved through advocacy campaigns, programs which educate and encourage cultural exchange, collaborative projects and peaceful civil interventions. UPP, which strongly rejects war as a solution to international conflicts, exerts relentless efforts to attain peace and solidarity among people via encouraging encounters between different cultures, languages, religions and traditions with the ultimate objective of developing a more equal and peaceful coexistence. UPP works in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Serbia and Kosovo alongside civil society organisations. In Italy, it promotes peace and disarmament, defends the common goods, and welcomes refugees and migrants.
The current UPP fields of work/programme in Iraq are the following: Mental Health and Psycho-social support for Syrian refugees and Iraqi IDPs residing in camps and in the hosting communities – Protection and Valorisation of tangible and intangible cultural Heritage – Formal and non-formal educational programmes – Peace building and Social Cohesion among the communities affected by military struggle with Daesh (ISIS) – Advocacy initiative working to build concrete links of solidarity between international civil society organizations and the growing Iraqi civil society.
