Palermo Green project

One of our projects in which I participate is Palermo Green, a project created to help solve the problem of dirt in the streets and the neglect of some green areas, developing the sense and civic commitment of citizens for their city.

I met the various volunteers active in the project, immediately resulting in friendship and mutual cooperation, and few days of the week I meet Martina and the other guys and we work hard! The activities consist in cleaning the degraded green areas, also in planting flowers and plants and taking care of the different flower beds we love to take care of!

At this time the areas in which we are working are many and varied including: the area around the Central Station, the Zisa Castle, the various flowerbeds of Corso Tukory and along the beaches and green areas of Via Messina Marina.

I will update you about the activities of the vegetable garden, a part of Palermo Green project.

Art of inclusion

Art…Who doesn’t love art? Nowadays it’s everywhere, and it is impossible to imagine our lives without it. Everything is art and art is for everyone.

Have you ever thought that art can heal people, and helps those in need, those with difficulties, those who actually can learn this world only through arts? That was what our last project about. Art of inclusion. The project gathered partner-organizations from Portugal, Germany, Romania, and Italy. The week was full of cultural events and activities. The program consisted of: painting sessions, visits to the museums, creating photo exhibition, handcraft activities etc. It was unbelievably enjoyable to watch how everyone was deeply involved in the process. One more time I was convinced that art is full of love, feelings, when people create (literally anyone), ...

the end?

My 10 months project is about to end. I am happy and sad at the same time. But what can I do..time is flying, life is moving on! I t was an interesting experience. Of course there were things I didn't like and couldn't get used to, but definitely, there were a lot of positive moments. I had time to travel and see the island, which was nice. I met many international people. I was forced to learn Italian, because very few people speak English fluently, and learned a lot about Sicilian culture. I met many challenges, but this is actually what life in another country is about. Finally, I started loving olive oil, which I never used in cooking before. For the first time in my life, I participated in the Gay Pride and local carnival. Speaking about volunteering in the organization (working with disabled people), it was unexpectedly easy. I think that's because everyone was really friendly and open to communication. It was my firs...
