If tomorrow an event happened that could question even the existence of the entire humanity, which are the messages to collect in a bottle and leave for those who will populate Earth in the following centuries? Climatic changes, the indiscriminate usage of our resources, diseases, poverty, hunger, wars and man’s inability to accept the idea of being only a small gear in a much more complex system,
could endanger our stay on Earth as we know it today. Besides all the visible tracks built by man, what are the ideas, the projects, the people, the philosophies that made us proud to belong to mankind and deserve to be handed down as a message of confidence and hope to the next generations? Message in the Bottle wants to be a choral narration that goes beyond the political opinions and religious beliefs, without any discrimination and with the only purpose of gathering evidence of the thoughts of those who believed in equality, work, the sharing experiences, peace and who dare to hope for a better tomorrow. Message in the Bottle wants to be the project of a journey that binds together those who gave a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of their community. A journey looking for a common memory that takes form through people's voices and their life example, a journey that sets the objective to gather messages and spread their knowledge to different people to give the words "identity", "sustainability" and "future" a deeper meaning. A cultural and educational plan for young people to give them the chance, not only to learn how to use the proper tools, but to help them understand the importance of preserving a culture's collective memory and to lay a solid foundation for their future, making them more aware of the importance of their identity, too. Message in the Bottle will make us understand that the history of the early years of this new millennium is not written by enlightened thinkers only, but also by the daily work of extraordinary people whose names are unknown, and yet they contribute to make our world a better place.
