« « Andiamo!
I’m Sarafine, I live in Paris🇫🇷 and I’m currently studying journalism.

Throughout my studies, I’ve developed a strong interest in cultural and social exchange. I find intercultural encounters incredibly enriching: they allow us to question our own perspectives, discover new ways of seeing the world, and learn from experiences that are different from our own.
This is one of the reasons why I wanted to join Elio’s. The organisation promotes values that I deeply care about and that I believe are particularly important for young people today.
And what better place to experience these values than Acireale local community, surrounded by its history, culture and richness?
I hope that I’ll be able to contribute something meaningful and
leave a little trace of my time here. 🐾 »

📅 From 8 to 17 August 2026, our Italian team took part in “DigiTales”, an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange held in Kirchlinteln, Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪✨

During the project, we explored digital citizenship, online activism and digital storytelling, discovering how young people can use digital spaces to raise their voices and create real-world impact. 💻🌍

It was also a great opportunity to share ideas, broaden our perspectives, strengthen teamwork and build meaningful connections with young people from across Europe. 🤝💙

A memorable experience filled with learning, inspiration and friendships that will last far beyond the exchange! 🇪🇺✨

Dal 14 al 23 Ottobre l'Associazione Elios, tramite il programma Europeo Erasmus+ finanziato dall'Agenzia Nazionale per i Giovani ha effettuato il progetto "Move-on: Cinema against discrimination". Tale progetto ha visto la presenza di oltre 30 giovani provenienti da Italia, Slovenia, Georgia, Polonia, Serbia, Macedonia e Romania. Durante tutto l'arco della settimana, i ragazzi sono stati impegnati nella realizzazione di tre cortometraggi sul tema della non discriminazione. Le attività svolte durante lo scambio giovanile sono state affrontate con diverse metodologie giorno per giorno con laboratori creativi e sperimentali nell'ambito dell'educazione non formale e di quella formale. I partecipanti si sono messi alla prova tramite pantomime, teatro delle ombre, simulazioni di discriminazione per poi inventare, tramite formazione professionale, un cortometraggio tutto loro, pianificando nel dettaglio sceneggiatura, inquadrature, riprese, audio, definizione dei ruoli e montaggio. I cortometraggi saranno pubblicati a breve sui social dell'Associazione Elios.
“I giovani hanno bisogno del confronto. Dai loro gli strumenti per esprimere la loro creatività e cambieranno il mondo”!
