<\/a><\/p>\nHappy Birthday, Casa Scalabrini!<\/b><\/h2>\n
In June, Casa Scalabrini 634 celebrated its eleventh anniversary<\/a> and <\/span>hosted a big party. Through encounters with former residents, friends, donors, volunteers, and many others, one can truly understand how a welcoming home changes the world. The stories of the people who pass through these walls continue to intertwine and inspire one another. <\/span><\/p>\nSpecial thanks to Gianluca Dicandia and Father Gabriele Beltrami for organizing the \u201cCrossover\u201d event that took place at the beginning of the festival, dedicated to the new European Pact. Thanks also to Rita Urbano for organizing the children\u2019s workshop, and to all the volunteers. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"Casa](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/festa-Casa-Scalabrini.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIn Rome: Sports, Events, and Books<\/b><\/h2>\n\u201cThe Everyday Nature of Goodness,\u201d a book about Father Maestrelli<\/span><\/h3>\nA book presentation was held on Father Roberto Maestrelli, a Scalabrinian missionary who dedicated his entire life to evangelization and the establishment of communities. Thanks to him, we were able to trace the history of the Scalabrinians and their missions around the world. <\/span><\/p>\nFollowing the book presentation, there will be a barbecue open to all event participants. The chefs and grill masters will be the students from Casa Scalabrini 634. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"Book](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/libro-e-cena-Casa-Scalabrini.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nRi-diamo: Standing with the Homeless<\/span><\/h3>\nIn June as well, ASCS continued its collaboration with Salesian volunteers, contributing to the outreach program for the homeless that takes place every Friday in the area around Termini Station. This street outreach is a valuable opportunity for staff and the young people at the center to be active citizens in Rome. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"Let's](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ri-diamo.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIn Milan, Where Hospitality Is Expressed Through Language<\/b><\/h3>\nThe End of Classes and the Start of Exams<\/span><\/h3>\nThe annual Italian language course came to an end in June. Thanks to the dedication of the volunteer teachers, the program covered levels A1 through A2 in five classes meeting twice a week. This year, the project took a significant step forward: in addition to the standard literacy and conversation lessons, the teachers guided and prepared the more advanced students to take the exams for official A2 and B1<\/span> level certifications.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Il-Mondo-in-Casa.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nIntercultural Activities: Meetings, Explorations, and Training<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\nAn exploratory journey through the Metapontino region<\/h3>\n
A group from ASCS, together with the Ausiliatrici Sisters, organized an exploratory trip to the Metapontino area, in the province of Matera<\/span>, to gain firsthand knowledge of a region that is rarely discussed but where illegal labor recruitment is widespread. Amid the fields of strawberries, apricots, and watermelons cultivated by foreign workers, the group met with Father Antonio from the diocesan Migrantes organization, Simone and Piero from Flai CGIL and the Tutti Migranti association, as well as a farm in Scanzano Jonico committed to improving working conditions and reducing the environmental impact of cultivation. The tour concluded in Montescaglioso and Matera, with discussions with local organizations working on the issue and a meeting with the city\u2019s bishop. The initiative is part of Focus Metaponto<\/span>, an ASCS youth outreach project carried out in collaboration with the Ausiliatrici Sisters, which will continue to explore the issues of agricultural labor and exploitation in the region. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/focus-metaponto.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nAn exploratory journey through Capitanata<\/h3>\n
A group of ASCS volunteers traveled to Capitanata for <\/span>a two-day exploratory trip in preparation for the \u201cAttraverso Foggia 2026\u201d<\/a> camp scheduled for July. Welcomed by the staff at the Don Bosco Village in Lucera, the volunteers began to outline the week\u2019s program together, sharing their thoughts on the central themes of the trip. Through meetings and site visits, they were able to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of labor exploitation of migrants, an issue that continues to affect this area of Puglia. <\/span><\/p>\nCrossover <\/span><\/h3>\nIn collaboration with the Quore Association, the latest Crossover26<\/a> meeting was held in Turin<\/span>. During Pride Month, the event focused on exploring the connection between migration and belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community. Thanks to Sophie Brunodet of the Quore Association, who paid close attention to cultural diversity, the event highlighted gender roles and the intersectionality of the challenges faced by queer migrants<\/span>. The vibrant scene in Turin was showcased, along with its safe spaces and support networks, such as social housing projects. The meeting was enriched by the testimony of Natasha, who has personally experienced the challenges discussed. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ascs.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/crossover-torino-giugno26.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe Game<\/span><\/h3>\nAs part of CasADO ( <\/span>Teen Camp), a summer initiative organized by the Santa Caterina Pastoral Community in Besana in Brianza, a group of young men and women played \u201cThe Game\u201d<\/a> as part of an awareness-raising program on the topics of migration, human rights, and global citizenship, during their discernment process leading up to their decision to become youth leaders. <\/span><\/p>\nThe Game also took place in Malta<\/span>, in collaboration with Christian Life Community and MOAS, as part of Refugee Week organized by Dance Beyond Borders. It was a very interesting opportunity to interact with people from diverse backgrounds, allowing ASCS to introduce other Maltese organizations to Youth Animation in Italy and the camp held in October 2025 in Malta. <\/span>
\n<\/b><\/p>\nPopoli Insieme: Training, Exchange, and Planning<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nIn early June, the Popoli Insieme office in Padua hosted a two-day training session for teams from ASCS and the Padua-based association. The first day was dedicated to working with the younger generation and foreign communities and began with a presentation of ASCS\u2019s Remix project<\/a>, followed by workshops on crucial topics such as intergenerational dynamics, gender, and mapping emotional distress among youth. The second day was dedicated to the educational tools that both organizations use in their respective contexts. The event concluded with a workshop on theater and multiculturalism. <\/span><\/p>\nVolunteering: New Beginnings and Stories That Continue<\/h2>\nASCS volunteers continue to depart<\/h3>\n
In June, ASCS volunteers continue to depart for our projects around the world, including Ceuta, Calais, and other places where ASCS makes a difference. We extend our thanks to all of you for the time you have chosen to give. Have a safe journey and a fulfilling time in the field! <\/p>\n

On June 19, during the final evening of the *Il Mondo in Casa 2026* project, the book *Fragments of (South) Africa: Stories and Faces of Johannesburg<\/a>*, written by ASCS volunteers Chiara Granata and Federico Parolo,<\/span> was presented.<\/span> The book was conceived within the walls of the Scalabrinian Mission at Saint Patrick Catholic Church in La Rochelle, Johannesburg, and brings together a mosaic of testimonies, perspectives, and encounters in the heart of the \u201cRainbow Nation.\u201d Through the words of friends, acquaintances, South Africans, and migrants, the book allows South Africa itself to tell its story, painting a portrait made up of fierce contradictions and moving moments of brotherhood.
