3. FOR WHAT? Origin of the problem to be solved and its context Passaggi Onlus encourages cultural and educational initiatives and promotes. The initative: ‘‘A beach library”. The project is based upon the idea of making culture and education, something familiar. In my town, I have noticed a relapse into local illiteracy . On the other hand, we have realized the refusal of meeting new cultures. Although the people of South Italy are said to be open and warm towards the others. In Trebisacce there is not a frequent cultural exchange , as far as is concerned material and immaterial goods, like books. In the end, It is understood that the passion for reading books is not really widespread.
