CASORATE SEMPIONE – Attention to disability and a commitment to inclusion, as well as the discovery of new cultures. Social and social cohesion, they speak different languages but send the same signal. This is how the final phase of the Erasmus+ project, which has just been completed at Casorate Sempione, can be summarized. Boys aged 18-28 from three different countries, Lithuania, Turkey and Germany, came together in the Laura Prati room on September 19 and received their certificates after a week of initiatives, activities together and fun.
With the Erasmus+ project introduced at the European level, Casorate also had the opportunity to invite people to discover and combine different cultures. And that’s exactly what has happened lately. At the centre, the issue is as sensitive as social inclusion and disability. This was developed through special events and moments together. It’s like meeting Paralympic water ski champion Daniele Cassioli, who has been blind since birth. Or those involving Ite Tosi’s Eurodesk project Varese’s Cfpil. Until the realization of a video called “The Guide” starring a blind boy guiding Casorate. All of this resulted in a round of applause today, including an exchange of thanks and gifts before leaving for the homecoming.

Mayor Dimitri Cassani: «The Erasmus+ project is very interesting.
