All Differently Equal

 

Imagine twenty-one people from different backgrounds meeting for 

the first time in a virtual space: What comes out of it? What is the 

goal?

The ESC on-arrival training organized by the organization Ser  

Joven,which lasted four days, focuses on a type of informal 

education, relying on a programme-non-programme punctuated by 

confrontations, debates, continuous exchange of ideas, games, 

creating a multicultural and interactive context, and last but not 

least, a light-hearted one.

The days of the training were intense, and although they were very 

useful for learning important information and technical aspects such 

as Cigna, Youthpass, and so on, the aspect that intrigued me the 

most, that shook me inside, was the way in which the training 

accompanied us "to the encounter with the other": it was now 

laughing and playing, now reflecting, that each one of us 

approached the life and culture of the other, with respect, like 

children curious to know.

Spontaneity was the matrix of this entire training: we all had the 

opportunity to expose ourselves, to express our opinions, to uncover 

ourselves, our background, in a space of listening and sharing. In the 

end, what emerged was this: despite being guys from different 

backgrounds, different ages, despite having different dreams and 

hopes, we are united by one thing: finding our dimension, our piece 

of the world.

And the training has served to remove doubts, to clarify, but more 

importantly it has helped us to have a greater awareness of who we 

are, where we started from and lastly, to ask ourselves questions 

such as

"Where do I want to go from here?"
