Torno Giù 2026: L'Agorà di chi ritorna a Jonadi (Coming Back 2026: The Gathering of Those Who Return to Jonadi)

An event celebrating the return, roots, and future of young Calabrians. On September 5th, the Municipality of Jonadi hosts the 2026 edition of "Torno Giù – L'Agorà di chi ritorna," a cultural and social project dedicated to those who, though they've emigrated for study or work, remain deeply connected to their homeland. More than a simple event, it's an appointment that transforms Jonadi into a modern gathering place against depopulation, uniting testimonies, art, and music.

The Value of Return "Torno Giù" is a space for dialogue and participatory storytelling, built to reflect on the value of returning and local development prospects. The initiative addresses those living abroad who wish to return, those who stayed and want to invest in the territory, and the entire community interested in this theme. Through creative pathways, debates, and workshops, the event demonstrates how possible it is to return, stay, and grow in one's own land.

What to Expect During the Evening The event offers a dynamic format integrating different moments, all united by the theme of connection to the territory: testimonies and debates to hear stories from those who returned or chose to stay; creative workshops to stimulate ideas and proposals; artistic and musical performances celebrating Calabrian culture and identity; moments of conviviality with the opportunity to taste local specialty products, in an atmosphere of celebration and sharing.

The Atmosphere of the Evening The atmosphere of "Torno Giù" is unique: a blend of reflection, hope, and celebration. It's an event that creates connections, where individual experiences become collective heritage. The energy of young people, the wisdom of the community, and passion for their land merge, creating an inclusive and stimulating environment designed to welcome all those who believe in the value of community and Calabria's future.
