One more cup of coffee is the Bob Dylan song that Lorenzo recommended me.
One more cup of coffee in this case for me represents the symbol of a new pleasant meeting, albeit online.
Before talking about it, a premise is necessary: when I wrote about Keep Calm & Go Volunteering in the comments Olivia asked:
Not wasting food is a very good idea. I never heard about this project before. How can young people be stipulated to waste less, to lead a more natural lifestyle? Could you tell us a bit more about it?
And Laura wrote:
Beautiful idea. I have the feeling that young people are victims of consumerism and therefore not inclined to recycle and recover. We hope that initiatives of this kind can break through.
So I turned the question straight to them, who were kind and nice enough to invite me for a chat.
In this way I was able to meet Ariela, who is the coordinator in charge, Edisona, Sophie, Veronic, Mehdi and Lorenzo.
“The” Lorenzo who recommended me Bob Dylan’s song as well as other interesting and precious tips on cinema, books and theater, mentioning Questi fantasmi
as Laura also told us .
And these young people, volunteers from the Europe Area of the Belluno CSV, also taught me a lot.
How to promote anti-waste culture in young people?
Going to schools, as they do, talking to children and teen-agers to spread not “lessons” but workshops, and returning several times to follow and see that the concept sown grows.
Stimulating to invent special recipes that have as a common denominator the idea of cooking without wasting based on the concept of giving, but also receiving advice.
Planning to create a blog where to publish these recipes to increase the interchange as much as possible.
Organizing events and celebrations on the occasion of international days.
By proposing linguistic tandems, or great opportunities thanks to their multiculturalism: informal conversations in English, French and Spanish, free and open to people of all ages led by Edisona , Sophie , Mehdi and Hamudi . with the aim of meeting the community, socializing and practicing languages.
And still broadcast their work through a web radio.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited and one thing is certain: there will be one more cup of coffee.
Ariela, Sophie, Veronica, Edisona and Lorenzo
One more cup of coffee … Yes! I have had two already, today – but one more will not hurt. On the contrary, it will do me some good.
Oh sure!
Someone tells that 3 is the “magic” number, isn’t it?
True, three cups of coffee during the first part of the day are wonderful.
So dear Olivia I dedicate to you the one I’m drinking now 🙂
Thank you, dear Claudia, and I will dedicate my next cup of coffee to you.

That is a really nice photo. Thank you!

Yes, indeed, because Coffee is universal; a language we all speak, be with by way of personal taste, smell, or simply the stimulating and welcoming atmosphere a cup of coffee begins to provide!
Oh DEAR! <3
Yes!! Absolutely!
COFFEE IS UNIVERSAL, a language we all speak and it provides a stimulating and welcoming atmosphere!
i will keep this quote of yours because it is simply perfect.
THANK YOU Jaya!!
I love so much the idea of spreading an Anti-Waste Culture. It is something I am so passionate about. My mind is reeling on ways to reach out to our local schools to teach sustainability and self reliance to our younger generations. There is so much good that can come of reducing waste and increasing self reliance.
Kimberly I absolutely agree with you!
Waste reduction can do so much good, and I think it can also include the benefit of scraps of happiness!
