Routes to Roots Storytelling Project
In 2016 a team of VICA members formulated the Routes to Roots (R2R) initiative. The goal of the R2R project is to collect, save and share stories of connections with Italy as told by members and former members of VICA.
The first phase of the project focused on listening to the stories of VICA's founders and families. These stories were recorded and transcribed for sharing on a website to share those remembrances more broadly.
To allow other VICA members to share their stories a “What’s YOUR Story” event was held on December 8, 2018. Members gathered to share short recollections about their connections with Italy. Some of these will be published in future issues of Il Messaggio and/or on the website.
