Departure is just around the corner!
You’ve probably already started wondering: what should I bring to Assisi?
Don’t worry! You don’t need the perfect backpack for GO!, but packing a few essentials will help you make the most of these four days.
- 👟 Comfortable walking shoes – You’ll be exploring Assisi on foot… and there are plenty of hills!
- 💧 A reusable water bottle – August can be hot, so keep it with you and refill it at the public fountains.
- ☀️ A cap and sunscreen – The Umbrian sun can be strong.
- 🌦️ A lightweight rain poncho or waterproof jacket – Summer storms can arrive unexpectedly.
- 📝 A notebook and a pen – To jot down a thought, an encounter, a prayer, or a meaningful quote. The most beautiful moments aren’t always captured in photos—they’re written down.
- 📖 A pocket Gospel (or the Bible on your phone) – To enjoy a quiet moment of reflection in the places where St. Francis lived.
- 🔋 A power bank – It will come in handy during the long days.
- 🪪 Your ID card or passport, and your health insurance card.
- 📱 Your smartphone with your registration QR code already saved.
- 😊 A small bottle of hand sanitizer and a few tissues.
- 🎒 A lightweight daypack – Perfect for moving comfortably between workshops and sessions.
- Una bandiera del tuo paese! O un foulard
And above all…
❤️ Bring an open heart.
