The best is yet to come....

2025 has been one of the most meaningful years of my life....both personally and professionally. Turning 33 felt like reaching a new milestone, a point where experience, purpose, and gratitude finally meet! Through my ongoing journey with Inclusion Go, I’ve continued to grow not only as a youth worker but as a human being deeply connected to the people and communities I serve.

This April, we gathered in Brindisi Montagna for the YEAR project, a unique experience that brought together young people from five EU countries to explore and reflect on human rights. For me, this topic is not just a field of work, it’s a calling. Since completing my EVS, I have felt an even stronger responsibility to advocate for equality, peace, and respect for every person, regardless of their background. Working with youth has allowed me to witness how awareness can become action, and how dialogue can shape a more just world.

During those days in Brindisi Montagna and around our region, surrounded by curious, open-minded participants, I felt once again that the essence of youth work lies in connection, between cultures, generations, and hearts. We shared stories, built bridges of understanding, and rediscovered what it means to belong to this planet together and be part of a "bigger picture".

I also feel incredibly grateful because throughout all these journeys, I have never walked alone. Maja, my soulmate and life companion, has always been there, helping me to see the depth of our work and reminding me of the love and passion behind it. Together, we have turned challenges into lessons and projects into opportunities to bring people closer.

Looking back, I see the YEAR project as a raw diamond, a small but precious moment that has added new clarity to my path. Each activity, each conversation, each smile from a young participant makes my life more transparent, more luminous. It reminds me why I chose to dedicate myself to this mission: to help young people believe in themselves, in each other, and in a more peaceful tomorrow.
