The pandemic has shaken the foundations of our daily life: health emergency, economic crisis and social problems have determined and exacerbated tensions whose future developments we do not know. Resilience has thus become an indispensable ability to adapt to guarantee quality of life and protect mental health put to the test by these latest events.
Among the "groups" in difficulty and about which little is said is that of volunteering. The pandemic crisis has led to the closure of several third sector organizations and the interruption of their activity risks depriving the community of the services offered so far. Yet, today more than ever, the contribution of volunteers who embody and bear witness to an indispensable value in the reality of their actions is indispensable: the gift.
A society without the culture of giving is destined to ignore the value of man which instead finds exaltation in the civil practice of the spirit of volunteering. Volunteering is one of the noble tools available especially to young people to contribute to the construction of a civil society. Learning to give yourself to others will allow those who tomorrow will be a doctor, a worker, a lawyer to live their experiences with a different, more supportive spirit. This is the value of a gift and it is this wealth that motivates volunteers to make sacrifices with a light heart.
The lessons of the course "From isolation to resilience. The role of volunteering" will be held on Saturday, from 10.30 to 12.30, at the headquarters of the Di Liegro Foundation, in via Ostiense 106, in Rome (Metro B stop Garbatella).
It will be possible to participate both in person, while places are available, and on a digital platform.
