To round off the week, the garden team led a knowledge-sharing session, introducing their fellow volunteers of the offic

On January 22nd and 23rd, our Vitality team gathered for the usual annual team-building! During these days we participated in activities facilitated by @ls_bltbisca . We shared our motivation and goals, created the Skills and Connections Map, and deepened the systemic approach through the 'Postmen'. Even youth workers sometimes need inspiration! The next day we met to divide the responsibilities and plan the next season of projects in Bergolo, Monesiglio and abroad.

And third of all, we said our farewells to the participants of the training course "The Journey of Labels", therefore concluding the project season of B

Hello one last time, It’s Remy here. After 12 months, my time as a volunteer in the ESC program has officially come to an end.
