16 December: Free Minds @ AvVento Solidale

Wednesday 16 Dicembre parteciperemo a questa splendida iniziativa organizzata dai nostri amici di “Ospiti in Arrivo”. The Solidarity Advent is proposed, on the occasion of Christmas, to metaphorically retrace a path of sharing and welcoming others. The countdown that the feverish children savor throughout December will be re-proposed in a daily meeting, comparison and exchange in which diversity will be valorised within an effervescent framework in which art, creativity, music and games will mix with sweet temptations!
The period preceding Christmas is seen as a moment of inner growth and predisposition to welcome others. The project intends to propose this moment of growth and sharing in a public event that involves citizens with a ritual of conviviality.
Every day since 1 al 23 December from 18:00 at 19:00, si “aprirà la finestrella” of the calendar with division and distribution of the chocolate among the people present and passers-by. Through this daily event we intend to create a moment of spontaneous aggregation and at the same time promote diversity and cultural enrichment deriving from migration through chocolate. Indeed, chocolate and then cocoa, whose origin is certainly not Italian, they become the vehicle to highlight how the exchange and meeting between different cultures and countries brings with it positive effects and is part of our everyday life. During the days preceding Christmas it will be possible to taste chocolate from different countries, spicy with different aromas!
At the same time, every day during the tasting, there will be a social and cultural promotion association that will intervene by encouraging a moment of reflection and sharing. They will take part in the event 23 local associations that will involve us through dances, musical performances, juggling, theater, laboratories! The objective is therefore to synergistically promote a path of solidarity, of culture and create a network between the various local associations!
The initiative was possible thanks to the active contribution of civil society. About that, We would like to thank the CEC who kindly welcomed the initiative by hosting us for the entire duration of the event! The Valentinis chocolate shop of Aloe Mariagrazia for having contributed with the preparation of the chocolates that will be offered to the citizens every day! The PuntoZero cooperative for support in carrying out the installation!
