About Us

We are a Youth Organization that focuses on international mobility, non-formal education, youth work and local development.

Our Story

Vagamondo, based in Bergolo, in the south of Piedmont region, in Italy, is an NGO focused on international mobility, non- formal education, youth work and local development.

The name Vagamondo comes from the concept of travel as a powerful tool of self-discovery and personal development: it is through direct contact with cultural and personal differences that identity becomes more visible to every individual; it is coming out of the comfort zone, getting involved in new activities, different than the usual ones, that people can identify room to grow and work on themselves.

In that condition of clarity non-formal education becomes a playground where people can practice new ways of thinking and acting; an effective tool to make a change that can create a long-term positive impact once back home, thus to improve the quality of personal and professional life.

From 2013 to 2026 Vagamondo took part in the organization and implementation of more than 200 international projects in Italy and abroad, involving more than 1000 young people and youth workers.
