If they didn't limit themselves to the discovery of new places and cities for us? In short,<br> were they really an opportunity to get to know other realities by making their time and commitment available to others,<br> perhaps as part of a well-organised project? There are so many opportunities,<br> all you need to do is have the patience to know how to look for them,<br> but immediately measuring our attitude with what we would be called upon to do,<br> in order to avoid disappointments,<br> angry and perhaps even worse. An approach accessible to all is the so-called solidarity-based journeys,<br> i. e. ethical and sustainable journeys,<br> in terms of both environmental and social and cultural impact,<br> in the sphere of responsible tourism. All those who travel to admire natural,<br> artistic and historical sites,<br> but also to discover the world in its most authentic aspects,<br> far from the stereotyped schemes of mass tourism,<br> organized or not,<br> can choose between many itineraries in Italy,<br> Eastern Europe,<br> Africa,<br> Latin America and Asia. All the itineraries give travellers time to taste the taste of meeting people,<br> the beauty of nature and the discovery of cultures and traditions. A rather well-known reference is precisely Viaggi Solidali (www.viaggisolidali.it) which,<br> in order to facilitate the understanding of realities often very different from those of origin,<br> provides for the accompaniment of cultural mediators: they are Italian or foreigners who speak Italian,<br> often resident in loco,<br> able to provide travellers with a thorough knowledge of the socio-cultural features of the country visited,<br> as well as its tourist aspects. In addition to knowledge travels,<br> the offer can also include possible participation in work camps,<br> for those who wish to live an experience of international solidarity by dedicating part of the time of the trip to socially useful jobs.\r\n\r\n**Without going too far.....**\r\n\r\nIn Sicily,<br> Viaggi Solidali organizes an itinerary that crosses the Baroque,<br> leads to Etna,<br> includes a visit to the seaside village of Selinunte,<br> to the Cathedral of Monreale,<br> to Syracuse and to the Greek-Roman archaeological park,<br> but also the meeting at Portella della Ginestra Memorial with the surviving witnesses to the massacre of' 47,<br> the visit to the museum house of Peppino Impastato,<br> the encounter with the meeting with.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\": [\"projects\",<br> \"holiday\",<br> \"summer\",<br> \"museum\",<br> \"village\" " |
