This is a story in the making, be a part of keeping the 'Castello Tigellius' on the Ligurian coastline near Genova a lively, dynamic and friendly castle for everyone. To welcome whoever needs a place to play and learn how to live. All the wonderful aspects of life creatively learning about what we share and have in common. Cultural togetherness.

Too many buildings are left abandoned and yet we still spend energy and time on building new ones. Castello Tigellius was built in the 19th century and stands welcoming and beconning a new life to begin within it. This could become quite the modern and attainable fairytale, giving everyone the possibility to come and stay at a castle by the beautiful seaside and be taught various arts forms, cultural skills, and most importantly share these stories with others.

European Dimension

We are incredibly lucky to have been brought up in Europe with its rich history and generous beauty. Our stories need only be kept alive and told and lived for us to realise what treasures we have right in front of us. Skills we have spent centuries on perfecting must not be forgotten as they can contribute immensely to technology. Without the heart, and our creativity we may very well loose out on the very essence of living. Stories and History are not always the same but we must learn from what we have experienced and do our utmost to not repeat the same mistakes. Europe has experienced many wars and our understanding of each other and our acceptance of each other can be strengthened when we look upon all we have in common. It is common sense that we all need beauty, that we all need to breath, eat, drink clean water to survive ,- dancing, playing music, using our hands to everything from sewing to gardening, ceramics, cooking is a wonderful way to express ourselves without being restricted by language.
