In November 2015, Codici presents a book that celebrates its 10 years. 10 Years spent reading the changes in society through constant feedback between thought and action, between research and intervention.
To celebrate this milestone we decided to translate this experience in words. For the first time we realized a participatory and shared book. Because that’s the way we like to act, produce speeches, designing and questioning.

The book is a repertoire of ways in which today we grow, we live the transition to adult life, we build life often in silence and piece by piece, like a counterpoint to the rhetoric of the end of the future. It is the tale of transformative experiences that today are offered to kids or that they build themselves. The book includes also a chapter by Oana Marcu titled The Reinvention of Roma Adolescence, a focus on the young generations of Roma in Italy.

Crescere nonostante (“Growing up despite all”) comes from the work experience and knowledge of building a common language that has been carried out for and with young people. It describes opportunities, positive examples, possible paths, opportunities today. The ways in which they invent routes to organize their own future teaches us how the world is changing and how the adults are called to a new task, helping generation of pioneers to grow.
