LOCAL ACTIVITES

Project presentation to LAR members 19 june 2023

In the initial stages of the project, we organised several occasions to inform and involve students, teachers and volunteers on the project objectives. In our vision, learning is a crucial element of well-being, especially in adulthood and advanced age, helping people to connect to a complex and intercultural society, to the environment and with themselves. The project intends to spread this reasoning among our members/students and find together new ways to implement it in their daily lives. 
The aim is to make those who attend our activities more aware of the power of informal and non-formal learning: learning through a course, a seminar, a trip is not only about acquiring new knowledge but also motivational and personal growth tools that can then be 'spent' in everyday life. The 'effort' is thus transformed into the pleasure of learning to learn, more aware of how to use the knowledge acquired also independently. Not least, the possibility of developing a common basis for lasting transnational cooperation capable of bringing the European dimension to the local level.

Trois couleurs: Rouge by Krzysztof Kieślowsk at the Farnese Cinema in Rome, 15 November 2023 

Knowing the culture of our partners: the L&L project includes among its objectives the inclusion of selected target groups through the implementation of accessible and attractive activities in order to develop a common basis for lasting and diversified transnational cooperation between the partners. It is very important to deepen our knowledge of each other's cultures.
In Rome, we had the opportunity to see Film Rosso by the famous Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski together in a review held at the Cinema Farnese, with a lectio magistralis by Professor Giuseppe Di Giacomo, philosopher and essayist.

Polish Ethnographic Museum visiting dicember 2023 

While implementing our local educational programme, we  gave  some thought to the issue of the value and meaning of everyday life  and everyday  items.  We went to the Ethnographic Museum to see how these problems were treated in the past in rural areas. Afterwards, we had a very interesting discussion which was concluded by an observation that nowadays, everyday life  and everyday  items are underestimated  and this badly affects our wellbeing.

  

Conference at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Rome
by Dr. Francesca Ceci on 11 January 2024  

On the traces of Polish History in Rome: always in order to develop a common basis for transnational cooperation between the partners through the inclusion of selected target groups, we participated at the Library and Study Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Rome in an in-depth conference on the life of the Sobieski royal family in our city. It was very interesting to understand how our cultures have intersected over time, with the compelling narration by Dr Francesca Ceci of the Capitoline Museums.
