Benvenuti a Palermo!

After long and hard preparations, finally we are in beautiful Palermo. We have always dreamed to become a part of EVS and so Uniamoci Onlus made our dream come true and hosted us for 10 months.

During our first days in Palermo we had an opportunity to meet our hosting organization team and all the members who come here to spend time all together.

We were welcomed very warmly and made new friends. It really feels like at home here: people are nice and communicative, are very open to cooperating with us.

We also had a chance to watch the work of organization and we find it impressive that all the users work very creatively and hardly on their projects.

We are very exciting that the next 10 months we will spend in Palermo, a very beautiful city and hope to feel Sicilian life and meet a lot of interesting people.

Un’Europa senza barriere

Penso che SVE dovrebbe essere più diffuso. SVE è un programma ERASMUS +, organizzato e finanziato dall'Unione Europea. Ieri si è tenuta il 22 maggio a Palermo la Festa dell’Europa 2019. Questa festa non è una sola festa ma anche la festa per tutti cittadini europei…senza barriere, senza pregiudizi! L’Unione europea non è ancora perfetta. C’è ancora tanto da fare, tanti problemi. Ma anche L'Unione europea ci sono tanti cose impagabili come: il rispetto della dignità umana, la libertà, l’uguaglianza, la solidarietà e è il diritto per tutti di essere felici. L'UE promuove l'inclusione e la partecipazione delle persone con di...

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. But have you ever thought what is actually art and how powerful it can be? It’s well-known that art connects people, countries, cultures. 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), ...
