SUMMARY:La Perdonanza in Schools
DESCRIPTION:Young people and the school community take center stage in preserving memory through “La Perdonanza nelle scuole.” The event\, promoted by the City of L’Aquila and supported by Unioncamere through PNC funds allocated to the PNRR\, marks the culmination of the project “La Perdonanza Celestiniana: An Intangible Hub for a Universal Identity\, ” which is part of the official program for L’Aquila\, Italian Capital of Culture 2026.  \nThe initiative aims to highlight the Perdonanza—a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—by transforming it into a permanent forum for civic engagement for future generations. High school students from the city\, supported by the historic associations that preserve the tradition of the Corteo (Jemo ‘nnanzi\, Sbandieratori\, Uomini d’Arme\, Movimento Celestiniano\, and Bandierai dei Quattro Quarti)\, will present their original works. Through artistic\, audiovisual\, musical\, and digital media\, the students will address a central question: “If you were Celestino today\, what message would you leave for the world of tomorrow?”\, creating a dialogue between history and contemporary values of peace\, forgiveness\, and inclusion.

SUMMARY:Inland Areas on the Move: That "World Apart" That Draws People In
DESCRIPTION:Italy’s inland regions are often described as “vulnerable\,” yet they hold extraordinary potential for the country’s economic\, social\, and cultural revitalization. Part of the official program for L’Aquila\, Italian Capital of Culture 2026\, this event explores how to transform these regions into thriving communities and premier destinations\, from hiking trails to cinematic storytelling.  \nOrganized by the Magna Carta Foundation\, the event is an opportunity for strategic reflection on the future of villages and mountain areas. The special guest will be filmmaker Riccardo Milani\, director of the acclaimed film “Un Mondo a Parte\,” who will engage in a conversation with Gaetano Quagliariello\, President of the Magna Carta Foundation\, to reflect on the value of places considered “apart” and on the best practices needed to reverse the trend of depopulation.  \nModerated by Annamaria Parente\, the event marks a key milestone in the “Aree Interne in Cammino” series\, confirming how culture\, the beauty of the landscapes\, and media storytelling can become decisive drivers for a possible future. It is an invitation to rediscover inland areas—no longer as peripheral regions\, but as vital centers of the Italian mosaic.

SUMMARY:Day of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:For Remembrance Day\, we are organizing a film screening to raise awareness of these tragic events among students at all levels of education\, with the aim of preserving and renewing the memory of the tragedy suffered by Italians and all the victims of the foibe\, the exodus of Istrians\, the people of Fiume and Dalmatia following World War II\, and the more complex events surrounding the eastern border. Schools are participating through the Provincial Education Office of Abruzzo. The film program is curated by Martina Orlando\, a film professor and restorer.  \nfilm festival and will be available via STREAMING on our YouTube channel. Here are the featured films: \n\nElementary Schools: THE SOLDIERS OF FANTABOSCO\nThe Melevisione episode “The Soldiers of Fantabosco” (Season 3\, aired in 2000) is a valuable and sensitive example of how to explain war to children\, using the language of fairy tales to address a complex and painful topic\n\nMiddle Schools *The Girl with the Suitcase* by Gianluca Mazzella (Italy\, 2024)\nSpring 1945. A night of celebration marking the end of the war turns into the beginning of a tragedy for little Egea Haffner: men in uniform take her father away and throw him into a foiba. This is only the beginning: shortly afterward\, Egea will be forced to leave her homeland with just a suitcase and face an uncertain future.  \n\nHigh Schools *IL CUORE NEL POZZO* (Italy\, 2005)\nIstria\, 1943. Tito’s partisans are marching toward Trieste to seize Venezia Giulia\, Dalmatia\, and Istria. Novak\, one of the partisans\, is searching for his son Carlo\, the result of an assault on Giulia\, an Italian girl. Giulia has hidden Carlo in Don Bruno’s orphanage.
