From the first step in Bagnoregio, stage after stage, every moment of the journey was an opportunity for the kids to challenge themselves, discover new horizons and overcome limits they didn’t think possible, an opportunity for personal growth and discovery for teenagers who are the soul of the Destinazione Capo Nord caravan together with the special kids.
Yesterday in Stockholm the Caravan of Destination North Cape met the Italian Ambassador to Sweden, Michele Pala, who welcomed the pioneers in his private residence. “It is a pleasure and a joy to welcome you to Sweden,” said the Ambassador, who offered the boys a coffee. “I am thrilled to know your stories, to listen to your tales. This makes me proud and makes Italy proud to export such a beautiful and significant project.”
Sweden, obviously, is Ikea and everyone’s curiosity was to go and discover Ikea City, an ideal place to have fun, but also to create the second live connection with Rds Next, media partner of the project. Among bookcases, shelves, soft toys and “meatballs”, the teenagers were asked what the funniest moment of these days was. For Matilde, the most intense feeling of this week of travel was “constantly questioning yourself and thinking about us first rather than me”. And she adds: “I don’t know if we have already found the right balance but I think that every day it is simpler and more natural to live together.” Keyla tells us about Antonio, one of the special boys who travels in the car with her, and about her emotion listening to a song: “It was really nice to see how music is a source of outlet for all of us regardless of how different we are ”. “Leaving on this trip was a courageous choice,” admits Martina. “Every destination reached is a new reality discovered, shared emotions”. Pietro, the youngest of the group of teenagers, says: “On the North Cape trip I enjoyed being with my travel companions and sharing emotions and sensations with them.” Brith, on the other hand, is the most reserved but for days he has picked up a camera and expresses himself through the photos he takes of all the travellers.
“Life is the art of meetings, the Caravan to the North Cape is a great opportunity – declares the president of Jupiter, Salvatore Regoli -. The Italian ambassador to Sweden together with the special kids with the rowdy teenagers. An explosive mixture in the city of Nobel”.
After spending the night on board, today, June 26, the Caravan will disembark in Turku, Finland, before heading towards the Kvarken archipelago before reaching the city of Oulu.
