FLARE Network deems it as fundamental to build a training experience able to support processes of social mobilisation concerning the fight against organised crime, in the attempt of creating a sensitive, informed and aware generation, endowed with the skills necessary to positively weigh on the societies of provenance.

OLE 2010 brings the attention on the following thematics: the way political changes since the emergence of the world financial system and the fall of the Berlin Wall have been used by criminal organizations to strengthen and internationalise their activities; the identification and the extent of the gray areas in the workings of the financial and legal economic system which enable criminal powers to infiltrate them; to identify the responsibilities of international organisations, countries, multinational corporations, civil society, and define the actions they can employ against organised crime.

OLE counts on the collaboration with all Apulia region Universities with the aim of becoming a point of reference for training opportunities for university students on topics related to illegal economy and transnational organised crime.

“OLE – Otranto Legality Experience” is dedicated to the memory of Renata Fonte, killed by mafia on March 31st 1984.
