An important first meeting between the children of the 'La casa di Smile' kindergarten and the guests of the 'Alberto Dalmasso' residence for the elderly in Vinovo, managed by Sereni Orizzonti, has just ended.   

Last week, the children arrived at the facility in the morning, had breakfast together with a cake prepared by their cook and continued with the song "if you are happy and you know it", sung together with the guests. The day ended with a painting workshop involving both children and elderly people. The second meeting is scheduled for 27 July, before the summer holidays. The project is aimed at facilitating the relationship between the youngest and the adult generations, through a series of fun activities for both adults and children.

"A useful exchange for the children, from which our guests also emerged enriched," says Sara Reano, director of the facility. "We are very happy to have realised this project. Often the real wealth lies in stories, in life stories. Our guests are an inexhaustible source of anecdotes: very often it is these that remain impressed on the very young, enabling them to learn about the past and many fragments of our history. On the other hand, the presence of so many children brought much joy, an important diversion'.
