ESC: Spring Volunteering Vawe

The name Vagamondo comes from the fusion of two Italian words: "vagare" (to wander) and "mondo" (world). The name is based on the concept of travel as a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal development: we believe that it is through direct contact with personal and cultural differences that one's identity becomes more visible, and it is by stepping outside one's comfort zone that people can identify areas of growth and work on them. In that state of clarity, non-formal education becomes a testing ground where people can practice a new way of thinking and acting, and an effective tool for creating change that can have a long-term positive impact and improve both personal and professional quality of life.
Vagamondo was founded as an informal group in September 2013 in the city of Roletto, Italy, by young people who had gained experience working with young people in various associations, private and public organizations at the local, national, and international levels. In December 2016, Vagamondo was registered as a youth organization (NGO), a natural process of growth and the need for a legal entity to expand further into the local community of the metropolitan area of Turin, at the regional, national, and international levels, and to implement structured projects.
Vagamondo’s vision is to contribute to the development of society, promote, spread, and apply through education the values of equality, freedom, and care for the environment.
