The baton is exchanged between Alice Medici, who is returning from Ireland, and Alessandro Betusi, who leaves on Monday. Alessandro was selected through a public tender within the European Solidarity Corp., which will go to the quarter near Kilkenny, the twin of Formigin.

This experience is “invaluable and unforgettable,” says Alice, who has served at the Kcat Art & Study Center in Ireland for over 10 months.

This is the fourth year in a row that Formizin Municipality has been offering this opportunity to young people for training and solidarity abroad, as a result of its duplicity with Kilkenny; It is an invaluable experience not only for the personal growth of the participants but also for the entire community of Formigin.

Alessandro is no stranger to this kind of experience: in fact, he completed his Universal Civil Service at the beginning of the year, which prompted him to collaborate with the municipality’s education office, and at a difficult time as a feature of the epidemic. .

“Good creates other good – comments Deputy Mayor Simona Sarrazino – and Alessandro’s example is remarkable. Congratulations to him on the satisfaction of this period abroad.”

In the meantime, the first steps have already been taken to organize the Irish Party, which runs from October 1 to 3.

In addition to the essential classical music, food and beer, there will be an institutional moment to compare the experiences of the two countries, which will only inspire good practice by comparing it to realities other than our own. Will be exported to us as well.
