As you know our team from the previous blogs, I want to tell you about what we have done this week. We have done a lot of things this week! First, we celebrated the birthday of one of our teammates, Abdou. We made a cake for him and prepared a T-shirt with all of our country flags as a gift. He rea

Ciao! Daryna here ready to sprinkle some vitality vibes on you ✨🤗 These two weeks were special because the whole team started working in full. I'm writing this post in our diary, and I can't believe everything that happened for two weeks. Time flies quickly but productively👌 Believe me, even office work can not be a monotonous process, if the team works harmoniously, persistently! Introduction to rules and policy of Vagamondo, how to work programs, which are more convenient

Reflecting on my journey, I still remember 1 year ago when I was packing my things in full panic mode (Of course I would leave packing for a few hours before my flight). I would collect my stuff, curious about what was about to follow. Many of my acquaintances and friends back then, would ask me what exactly I would do and if I would be able to spend a year in a place like Bergolo. Even during the year, when I was interacting with people from different Erasmus+ projects who w

Hey there! 🖐 This is Ana, I'm the Portuguese member of this new international team that has gathered here in Bergolo. We, Ana, Mili, Daryna, Berke and Abdou, are all from different countries and I couldn't be happier with the cultural mix we are all emerging ourselves in. From different accents while speaking English, to little details such as how your name is culturally structured, we have had the chance of knowing a bit more about each one's path that lead us to cross live

Hello everyone! That is Angie with my last weekly post, which can be considered as my testimonial. My first weekend in Bergolo matched with Easter, and that day I realized, that if I want to continue spiritual practices, I have to go down and up on foot every Sunday – 8 km. As time showed me, it wasn’t the one challenge of my “Vitality”. Volunteering experience consisted of tense periods, isolation of the place, huge amount of work, not enough of organizing things and sometim

Hello dear visitors of our blog. Now we have mixed team in our beloved Bergolo – volunteers of “Vitality 2022” and volunteers of “Vitality 2023”.

Milica is taking care of the sending project, searching for 11 p

16/03/23 📆 Hello, it’s Tim and I take control of the Vitality blog this week! Last week, a ghost from the past popped up: our favorite ex-coordinator Flavio! For those who don’t know Flavio (shame on you!), he was our first coordinator with Silvia from March to June 2022. We missed all the positive vibes that he spread around him and we were happy to see him after so much time. A ghost from the past that appeared at the right time for Mia and Raul's last week of volunteering

Hello everyone! 👋 My name is Milica, and I'm one of the new Vitality 2023 volunteers. Some of you may remember me from last summer, when I took part in the Volunteering Summer Fest. This time around, I have arrived in Bergolo just in time to enjoy the hills and valleys of Piedmont come alive with the vibrant colors of blooming flowers and trees. As spring is the time of renewal and rejuvenation, last week at the office was very eventful and productive. There was laughter, so

Hello everybody, It's Abdou, from the Vitality 2023 team! This is the first post for this year's Blog. On Monday, 13th of March, 2023, Milica Dordevic and me were the first arrivals of the new team. We were well welcomed that evening and a lovely reception was held the next day. I have to say that I'm personally astonished by how beautiful the region is, especially Bergolo. I take a lot of photos. It was a vibrant week. I learned a lot so far in many fields, and we partic
