A couple of years later Gioiosa was born in Bergamo, aiming to provide after school care experiences focusing on \u201cliving the culture\u201d as a tool for self-awareness. In order to do so historical studies were used to research and discover ancient civilizations in order to re enact and live their values, and principles with the ultimate goal to research \u201cmeaning\u201d through musical, artistic and drama projects.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">This educational project led to the creation of Associazione Gioiosa in 1993, which took responsibility of the after-school hours activities, until the scuola d\u2019infanzia in via Ponchielli opened in 1997, (paired in 2003) adding to the programmes the vacation care program GIE.<br \/>\nIn 2000 the very first Nido was opened in via Ponchielli, while a second one was inaugurated in Viale G.Cesare in 2002 (both accredited by Bergamo city council in 2013).
