Life is a constant movement, a journey in which we constantly find ourselves in transit. In a world that moves swiftly and upends every balance, a fundamental question arises spontaneously: in the face of the inexorable passage of time, what truly remains?

From this reflection comes“Everything Passes, Everything Remains,” the audio project curated by ASCS—the Scalabrinian Agency for Development Cooperation. Following previous narrative projects focused on raising awareness, the association returns to the microphone with an original format that explores migration from a new perspective—one in which everyone can see themselves reflected.

Migration as a dimension of the soul

For ASCS, telling the story of migration has always meant giving voice to people’s rights, dignity, and life journeys. With “Everything Passes, Everything Remains”, this concept extends to a existential dimension: Migration is understood as a universal human condition, consisting of journeys, transitions, changes, and new beginnings.

If it is true that everything passes, it is equally true that something remains: Beauty. That secret hidden within reality that guides our journey, gives it meaning, and sustains us even in the darkest moments.
The project stems from the need to explore and give voice to what is essential and Beautiful in people’s lives: what nourishes them, sustains them, and fills them with meaning.

The format: intimate conversations and questions about meaning

Each episode of the podcast lasts 30–40 minutes and features an intimate conversation between a host and a guest. The conversation explores the themes of journey and belonging through a series of guiding questions:

• Where are you and how are you doing at this point in your life?
• What does “home” mean to you?
• When and how have you felt like a stranger?
• If you had to leave today and leave everything behind, what would you take with you?
• Who or what in your life has never let you down?

Voices, Testimonies, and Traveling Companions

The protagonists of this series form a rich mosaic of experiences and perspectives on the world. It gives a voice to all those who see themselves as being on a journey and who wish to share the existential journeys they have undertaken throughout their lives. Among them are staff members, volunteers, and activists from the Scalabrinian network, former residents of Casa Scalabrini, as well as figures from the worlds of culture, social services, and institutions.

From personal stories of redemption to reflections on the value of community, each episode offers concrete insights for looking at one’s own journey with renewed hope.
