Vitality 2022

A week ago our volunteers took part in an event #Spazzamondo organized by Fondazione CRC in Cuneo province. Our mission for the day was to collect the trash around Bergolo. Of course, it was a challenge to find some trash in our " metropolis" so we were just walking around in our power rangers' uniform fighting for any piece of trash we could detect. At some point, Mia and Adele ended up collecting wild strawberries. At least, some prey we've hunted. On Tuesday our team tra

Ciao a tutti! It's me, Milli, I am back in the office after quite some time. You are probably wondering what I was up to all this time because the last you've heard of me was while we were hosting Bergolo Digitale and I was working in the kitchen. I was still going on, continuing with work and in the evenings enjoying concerts during Festa Europa but little that I know (I ignored) my body was shouting for rest. So, on one free day between the projects, I woke up sick and I un

“Vitality” is not only about working in the office, Cascina Crocetta, and supporting the projects. One of the important parts of being here is traveling. Last weekend we visited a new place - Cuneo! The city surrounded by the mountains also has beautiful views inside. Not only Cuneo, but the road to the town and back was also amazing. We passed a lot of charming little villages with castles and churches and even created a new game - “see one church - take one shot”. But we di

Hey there! This week was like a final sprint. Indeed, during one month, we hosted 4 projects in a row and this week was the end of the last one: "Youth Work 2.0". This project was really special for our beloved coordinator Flavio. It was his first experience as a trainer. Objectively, he is the best trainer in the world (I don't lie, I’m just repeating what I heard from participants who offered him chocolates). He puts a lot of effort and investments into this role and it’s a

Ciao tutti! It is Angelina. I came here from Belarus one month ago and this is my first experience in Vitality Monday post. So don’t be hard on me, please :) The biggest impression from last week was „pizza night”! Cascina Crocetta gathered us all together in its cosy atmosphere and chef Flavio gave us a pizza making workshop. 15 pizzas were done and eaten – good for us! But the process of cooking was so slooow – every pizza disappeared faster than the next one appeared. The

Buongiorno, world! It's Halyna (Mia but we'll talk about this change some day in the future) and this time I have no extra hours to think about editing pictures and making a story about every volunteer here. We just finished the " Bergolo Digitale " project and without proper rest started working on the "Festa dell'Europa". So if I forget about someone, just know that I still love you, guys. Brief feedback about my experience working in " Bergolo Digitale " team. I was respon

Another week has passed and we are getting in the work mood once again. During the previous weekend we took a good rest and Monday we had plenty of energy to give. So what better way to express that energy other than trekking?? Fabrizio, Tony , Mili, Tim and Sofia embarked on a trekking activity in Cortemillia (led by New wellness education) along with lots of people who joined. Tuesday we were back again on track. This time we are hosting “Bergolo Digitale”. As you will noti

Hello, people who were waiting for a new Monday post made by the Vitality team! Nice to see you again! This week, we started by joining the barbecue made for the "Teach and Learn" project participants. It was an entertaining outdoor experience with a lot of singing, dancing, and knowledge sharing. Restful and relaxed Monday. If we only knew that it was the last peaceful day of the week we would enjoy it even more. Are you intrigued? Oh, yeah, you should be. They say, sometim

Ok, here we go again. A week ago, Bergolo was on fire! Literally. We managed to resolve the issue with minimal damage. Rest in peace, Flavio's jacket. Oh, come on, you're Flavio's jacket. There will never be a possibility for you to rest. After fighting the fire we built a tent for the upcoming project activities. We put here the photos "before-after" as a reminder that we can do amazing things even if we think that we can't. It's a pity that there was no light when we were m
