“Tracce di speranza” (Traces of Hope) is an escape city that offers youth groups a journey made up of 16 stops with the aim of addressing issues that help find hope where there is no hope: an immersive journey inside oneself, visiting meaningful but not “touristic” places, places of history, testimony of active citizenship of the city of Rome that will help discover where Hope is hidden in the eternal city.

Choose your itinerary, the number of stops to visit and the experiences to live with the group knowing that you are not required to play all 16 stops: each stop is "self-conclusive" and the group can decide when to cease and how many stops to live; to do so, visit the map and be inspired by the places, or be stimulated by the keywords and create your own personalized itinerary: Discover together with your fellow companions where Hope lies in your heart.

Each stop features:

- a meaningful place to visit;

- a group experience/dynamic to live;

- a Trace of Hope to generate!

Through the proposed dynamics, the game brings together a reflection on civic/political commitment and Christian commitment in the perspective of “hope that does not disappoint”.
