Vagamondo
NGO from Italy

The name Vagamondo comes from the connection of
2 Italian words: vagare (wander) and mondo (world),
the name is based on the concept of travel as a

powerful tool of ​self-discovery and personal
development​: it’s through the direct contact with
personal and cultural differences that personal
identity becomes more visible to the individual, it’s
getting out of the comfort zone that people can
identify space for growth and work on it. In that
condition of clarity, ​non-formal education becomes
a playground where people can practice a ​new way
of thinking and doing​, and an effective tool to make
a change that can create a positive impact back
home and improve the quality of personal and
professional life.

Vagamondo was created as an informal group in
September 2013 in the town of Roletto, Italy, by
young people who gained experiences in youth work
in different associations, private and public entities
at local, national and international level.

In December 2016 Vagamondo was registered as
Social Promotion Organization (NGO), a natural
process of growth and a need for a legal entity to
spread more into the local community of the
metropolitan area of Torino, at regional, national and
international level.
