This analysis of prosocial activism highlights the fact that it is not a marginal or transitory phenomenon, but rather one of the most advanced and significant expressions of contemporary social and political mobilisation, fundamental to understanding the role of associative networks as agents of social transformation. Contrary to a view that considers it a mere emergency response to welfare shortcomings or the inefficiencies of migration policies, prosocial activism is an advanced form of collective participation, capable of challenging the traditional paradigms of civil intervention and redefining the relationships between citizens, institutions and marginalised social groups. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to overcome the rigid distinction between “humanitarian aid” and “political activism”, integrating both approaches into a single field of action. Indeed, prosocial networks do not limit themselves to denouncing inequalities but actively work to build alternative models of governance and social inclusion, positioning themselves as actors capable of transforming the rationale of exclusion on which current institutional structures seem to be based.
