A Month in Rome

Six volunteers from the UK will spend March 2014 living in Rome and this is the record of their stay. We are taking part in the Evolve project (European VOLunteering Venture), a partnership between UK-based Wise Owls and Italy-based Atdal 40+, both organisations which help older workers return to work or access learning. Funded by the EU Grundtvig Life Long Learning Programme the Evolve project is the exchange of 6 volunteers to work in their partner’s organisations and cities.

A snapshot of Italy from an outsider's perspective by Faieka Esau-Wong

A presentation on Italian culture and family, and Rome as a multi-cultural capital (see link below) was written in preparation for our visit to Rome. Introduced by playing the famous Neapolitan song, O Sole Mio, composed in 1898 by Giovanni Capurro, a song which has been performed by many including Parvoretti and Elvis Presley who used the melody in his world famous, ' It's Now or Never'. See the full presentation on this link:
