This Saturday we had the 4th intercultural meeting of Itaka-Escolapios in Vitoria-Gasteiz. We met more than 100 people in the hostel of Barria to get to know and recognize each other, celebrating a good meeting where we reflected on being an active part of the Itaka-Escolapios network, we played, danced and ate.
It was a party that leaves a great memory in the people who participated and we are looking forward to the 5th meeting next year.

On 22 May, we held a space for reflection and awareness-raising on a topic of common interest through an interreligious meeting for peace, with the participation of around 90 people, mostly migrants from the different programmes and projects: OJALÁ, Mueve y Promueve, AUKERA, participants of sUmAmOs mÁs, Trapezistak youth and young people from the Calasanz Movement.
It was a space where the focus of the meeting was the people who are suffering from war in different countries, where it was insisted that there are more things that unite us than those that separate us. The meeting was led by participants of different faiths in an atmosphere of closeness, reflection and sharing of faith through gestures of solidarity for peace. The meeting ended with a sharing among all the participants, where they were able to continue the dialogue beyond the meeting.

This Saturday was held the IV Meeting of Itaka-Escolapios.
It was a nice meeting where we met people from all the projects that Itaka-Escolapios has in Vitoria, with the aim of helping to publicize all Itaka-Escolapios in our headquarters and meet volunteer experiences and participants.

Today we received a visit from the programme “Hoy por hoy Vitoria” on the SER radio station to get to know Ojalá and Itaka-Escolapios in general.
We talked about our reality, our dreams and needs, accompanied by volunteers and participants who told us about their experience of participating in Itaka-Escolapios.
