Community Lunch

In Filogaso, we organized a community lunch on the occasion of the International Day of Older Persons, transforming a moment of conviviality into an opportunity for dialogue and connection between different generations. The canteen of the lower secondary school named after Antonio Emanuele Augurusa became the symbolic place where the community gathered around the values that inspire the Foundation’s work: community, dialogue, and mutual listening.
The initiative was born from the desire to place older people at the centre — those who planted the roots of our community and who today preserve memories and values that are essential for every process of collective growth. For this reason, we personally delivered the invitations to the lunch, going door to door, as a concrete gesture of care and closeness.
Welcoming and engaging the elderly were the young students of the Green Social Impact Manager course, who chose to give back to the community that had welcomed them during their training journey through a meaningful gesture of participation and gratitude. Through serving the meal, music, smiles, and dancing, a spontaneous dialogue emerged between different generations, who recognized themselves as part of the same story and the same future.
