Fa la cosa giusta!

When? 30th March - 2nd April. Where? Fiera Milano City. What? Fa la cosa giusta (Do the right thing)

Hundrets people, hundrets right things... This particular fair in Milan was about fair trade, ecological food, CSR, human rights, handmade producks, recycling, second hands and in general peace and love. I'm not going to simplify the main idea but during this event I realised that it's really easy to do good things for enviroment, human beings and world.

Fa la cosa giusta wouldn't be complited without EVS and promoting voluntary work, so we arrived in large numbers from all over Lombardy to show how important voluntary work is. We made an infopoint about EVS and organized some entertainmant to show that voluntary work is also a great opportunity to have fun and benefits (like meeting new people and cultures).



Dal 30 marzo al 1 aprile a Fieramilanocity si è svolti la fiera "Fa la Cosa Giusta". I temi principali della fiera erano il fair-trade, il cibo ecologico, il CSR, i diritti umani, i prodotti handmade e il riciclaggio. Grazie a questo evento i participanci hanno potuto capire che è facile fare cose buone per l'ambiente, per le altre persone e per il mondo.
No si poteva imaginare la fiera senza la promozione dello SVE. Quindi i volontari da tutta la Lombardia sono andati per mostrare alla gente quanto importante è volontariato. Abbiamo fatto un infopoint dello SVE, abbiamo mostrato un po’ di animazione e abbiamo provato covincere la gente che il volontariato puó portare una grande opportunità per divertirsi e benefici (ad esempio: conoscendo le nuove culture, le lingue e le persone).


Everyone could participate in the event and have a professional photo with a comic balloon with own definition of voluntary work 























We used most of those photos to promote voluntary work by social media

Why "Svegliamo Cremona"?

I'll tell you a secret: The URL address of my blog is an Italian word game.
Sveliamo Cremona means 'We wake up Cremona', but svegliamo is also a particular verb because of first three and last three letters:
SVE - is an abbreviation of Servizio Volontario Europeo (Eng. EVS - European Voluntary Service) and
AMO - is LOVE... just to mention that I'm totally in love with Cremona and Italy :)

voglio andare al mare!


It is always a good idea to go to the seaside, isn't it? This time definitely it was, although the seaside in Genova surprised me a bit... It's very industrial, without any beach, umbrellas and sand. 
Anyway, we (me and Iga - Polish EVS in Cremona) enjoyed the trip very much.






a little bit of Polish culture in Italy 

funny only for Polish people...

Great restaurant! I have to get back here!

La cucina di casalinga

Let's face the truth. I chose Italy for my EVS not only because of the excellent project I found. There was one more reason and I'm sure you already know what it was... Italian cuisine...

In fact I'm not an expert of cooking but I'm trying to improove my skills and - believe me - till the end of my EVS i'll be the master of pasta :) For now i'm an expert of eating, but below you can see some photos of my variations on Italian cuisine. Buon appetito!


La colazione italiana :) 




Green-white-red. Italian flag on a plate means perfect meal. True story.
