Europe Day







Another beautiful day, another beautiful festival – the Day of Europe. The festival was held in a nice park, so we could enjoy it during the day, as well-organized event and meet a lot of little – young smiling people.

Another exciting moment for our guys to socialize, watch, participate, understand, enjoy.
It is so important for the EU to treat disabled people equally, but what is more important is to teach others to have lots of respect and responsibility for these people.  And this is what everyone could notice: children of different ages showed lots of respect  and friendliness to our guys. It was so nice to watch it.

People need to see other people. People need to know there are different people, some have problems, some don't,  some are happy and smiling, others prefer to hide their feelings. Meeting new people is as important as sharing experiences. 

That's why I am glad we had the opportunity to  leave the office and  participate in the festival with lots of other people. Everyone enjoyed.

Fare volontariato presso l'Associazione Uniamoci Onlus

Le nostre volontarie Ucraine hanno finito il loro periodo di volontariato in associazione lo scorso Agosto. Abbiamo un pò riflettuto sulla loro esperienza con noi, sul contributo che hanno dato alla nostra associazione e ai nostri utenti ma anche su ciò che hanno avuto modo di imparare in questi 10 mesi. Ecco un pieghevole che riassume il valore di Help and Empower Yourself:

°°°CARNEVALE°°°

  The first time in my life I participated in the Carnival. Before preparing, I wasn’t sure how serious people take it, and it was my mistake to have no costume. The Carnival was so colourful, so exciting. How nice it was to see smiling faces,  masks  and messy carnival staff all around. Immediately you dive into the holiday atmosphere, get the holiday mood and feel so warm among all the people. Seems that the whole crowd is one big happy family. What was important for me to notice is that while the  Carnival you truly feel the quality between everyone. People don’t divide into social groups, don’t ignore other people’s needs and respect each other while enjoying the festival. Isn’t it wonderful how one event can unite different people? It is! And I feel very sorry that in Ukraine we don’t have national Carnivals which bring so much joy and love to people.    I hope to see other Italian Carnivals. And next time (for sure!) i will get a costume!😄

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),  they get lost and
