Traverso - Social Workshop

Traverso means the forceful direction of a boat against the wind so as to avoid the waves that come to its sides. Similarly, we decided to act upon an era in which the socio-political ‘waves’ brake upon us uncontrollably.

We thought that the creation of a social space in Kefalonia is within our powers, a space that will accommodate social, political, educational, cultural and ecological activities, a space for all!

Traverso aims to provide an opportunity for people to meet, socialize, exchange ideas, skills, experiences and feelings. We believe that communication and coiling is the best way to solve problems and enjoy life at the same time. Therefore, we are open to co-operation with individuals and communities, provided that they share our vision and pursue similar goals. We call all like-minded people to join us, the more the better!

Caminante no hay camino

Caminante, son tus huellas

el camino y nada más;

Caminante, no hay camino,

se hace camino al andar.

Al andar se hace el camino,

y al volver la vista atrás

se ve la senda que nunca

se ha de volver a pisar.

Caminante no hay camino

sino estelas en la mar.

Wanderer, there is no road

Wanderer, your footsteps are

the road, and nothing more;

wanderer, there is no road,

the road is made by walking.

By walking one makes the road,

and upon glancing back

one sees the path

that must never be trod again.

Wanderer, there is no road

Only wakes upon the sea.

Antonio Machado (1875-1939)
