Italy Group 002 · Lazio Circoscrizione
Roma Prati
the central-north group.
We meet in the heart of Prati, a stone's throw from the Vatican. We work on human rights education in schools, public events and national campaigns. We are open to anyone who wants to get to know us: come to a meeting, no commitment required.

How we meet
A regular rhythm alternating in-person and online, to balance participation and everyday life.
In person · 1st Monday of the month
We meet from about 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm at the Hotel Casa Valdese, via Alessandro Farnese. It is the main meeting of the month: we plan, we decide, we get to know each other.
Online · roughly every 2 weeks
Between one in-person meeting and the next we meet online, for quick updates on work in progress and for those who cannot reach Prati.
Open to anyone who wants to get to know us
Our meetings are open. If you want to understand how we work, come once with no commitment: write to us first so we can tell you where and at what time.
What we talk about in our meetings
The work of an Amnesty group is not only "action": it is also analysis, internal training, the democratic life of the movement.
Events planned and already held
We discuss our events and those of the other Lazio groups: what to organise, how to set things up, lessons learned from past initiatives.
Current affairs through Amnesty's lens
We compare news events with the positions and reports of Amnesty International. An informed reading, not a gut reaction.
The democratic life of the movement
Periods dedicated to the Assemblies of the Italian Section and the Councils of the Lazio Circoscrizione: the group brings its voice and its vote.
What we have done recently
A selection of the most significant actions of Group 02 in recent months.
EDU
Liceo Chateaubriand — gender-based violence
Three mixed classes, a participatory session on gender-based violence built with our EDU trainers. The experience will resume next month at the same school, this time with the travelling exhibition "What Were You Wearing" set up by the student community.
W4R
Write for Rights 2025 — aperitif at the Hotel Casa Valdese
In December we organised an event dedicated to Amnesty's global campaign Write for Rights: a welcome aperitif and then a presentation, one by one, of the 5 cases chosen for 2025. The signatures collected fed into the international mobilisation.
