The CISL's 'Senegal Project' takes shape to "elevate emerging countries and support the future in Italy". This is stated in a note in which it is stated that the secretary general of the Cisl of Sondrio Davide Fumagalli will travel to Africa next week together with Sergio Marcelli, secretary general of the FNP-Cisl of Sondrio, LoCheikh Mbacke, president of Anolf, the National Association beyond the borders, of Sondrio and Luis Lageder, president of the Anolf of Lombardy. The delegation will carry out a "primary reconnaissance" of one of the most important African countries for the migration phenomenon in Europe. In fact, half of the 6,618 migrants who died or disappeared in 2023 while trying to reach Europe from Spain departed from Senegal, according to data from the Spanish NGO 'Caminando Fronteras' reported by the CISL.
"The first objective of this trip," explains Fumagalli, "is to build relationships with Senegalese schools, trade unions and institutions to explore the feasibility of our project directly on site." The trade unionist points out that "these collaborations will be the starting point for concrete actions that will range from the structuring of Italian language and civic education courses for family members in cases of reunification, and for those who, through the regular channels of flows, are willing to come to Italy to work in our companies". "A further desirable development," he continues, "is to launch vocational training courses in Senegal to increase the specific technical skills needed by the labor market of both countries." "In recent days," he concludes, "we met the Consul of Senegal in Milan, who positively shared our project, guaranteeing us a connection with some important Senegalese institutions and associations."
