Giovedì 31 maggio 2012 alle ore 20, presso il Piccolo Spazio Interculturale di via Caccia 5 a Casale Monferrato (AL), l’associazione Serydarth propone questa volta una cena diversa dal solito.

Il cibo ha una funzione di comunione, crea vicinanza e familiarità tra le persone. Perciò la serata sarà una rappresentazione di una tipica cena in famiglia.

Unendo fantasia, gioco e recitazione, i partecipanti saranno invitati a calarsi nei panni di vari personaggi caratteristici della tipica famiglia italiano, impersonandosi in essi ed interagendo con gli altri componenti secondo la propria nuova personalità per tutta la durata della cena.

Il divertimento accompagnerà la serata, preparata dalle donne di casa e sarà composta da:

• Bruschette di una volta
• Minestra casalinga
• Spezzatino vegetariano con patate
• Torta della nonna
• Pane e Vino della casa

Il tutto sarà allietato da brusio di televisione accesa nel tinello e pianti del bimbo dei vicini.

Per partecipare è necessario prenotare entro e non oltre mercoledì 30 maggio a serydarth@yahoo.it o 338.5452899. I posti sono limitati.

Il contributo di sottoscrizione suggerito è di 12€

Fare Storia * Margherita Angelini

Fare Storia * Margherita Angelini
Culture e pratiche della ricerca in Italia da Gioacchino Volpe a Federico Chabod
Carocci Editore Studi Storici Carocci

    “Nel luglio del 1960 Franco Venturi, in una commossa lettera ad Arnaldo Momigliano, sintetizzò i sentimenti di molti al ritorno delle esequie funebri per federico Chabod: ‘A Roma, in quella orribile cappella dell’Università, in mezzo a tutti quei canti frateschi e quelle messe, veramente, Chabod era molto lontano’”
La domanda se esista per primo l’individuo o la società, notava scherzosamente Edward H. Carr, è simile alla questione dell’uovo e della gallina: la società e l’individuo sono inseparabili, e anche lo storico è un portavoce, conscio o inconscio, della società a cui appartiene. È possibile quindi parlare, come per altre categorie professionali, di una responsabilità dello studioso di storia nei confronti della collettività? Partendo da questa domanda ed esaminando rigorosamente i percorsi storiografici di due testimoni privilegiati come Gioacchino Volpe (1876-1971) e l’allievo Federico Chabod (1901-1960), il libro propone una nuova interpretazione del ruolo degli studiosi di storia nella società italiana tra fascismo e prima età repubblicana e analizza i loro rapporti con la coeva cultura storica europea in un periodo di importanti rivolgimenti collettivi e individuali. Il “fare storia” in questi anni fu profondamente influenzato dal lavoro di Volpe e Chabod; entrambi ebbero un ruolo preminente negli studi e furono dei “poli aggreganti” per diversi intellettuali che lavorarono accanto a loro nelle accademie, nelle università, negli istituti storici e nelle riviste specializzate.

The Art of Diversity @ Hutten, Germany

The Art of Diversity – Train the Trainer seminar for antibiased education using arts as method

Training course

15-22 July 2012 | Hütten, Germany

The training course is based on the A World of Difference Train-the-Trainer Programme training youth leaders to facilitate workshops addressing diversity, interculturalism, and anti-discrimination in general using arts and creative approaches.

Objective and content

The Train the Trainer Seminar ‘The Art of Diversity’ is based on a Train-the-Trainer Programme developed by the European Peer Training Organisation (EPTO) and its partner organisations. Its goal is to train youth leaders to facilitate workshops that address issues related to: diversity, interculturalism, anti-racism, and anti-discrimination in general using arts as a method. Its specific focus is
to train future peer trainers in using arts and creative approaches in the A World of difference
programme.

The training is organised by Bildungswerk BLITZ e.V. in Germany in cooperation with EPTO and its partner organisations: EPTO Nederlands and Power4Youth in the Netherlands, 4motion a.s.b.l. in Luxembourg, Slovenia-Voluntariat in Slovenia, LECS- “The League for Education, Culture and Sport” in Romania, EPTO Poland in Poland and EPTO Bremen in Germany.

The programme model used by EPTO comes from the A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute.

It aims to help youth to:
- Be aware of their personal and cultural identity
- Recognise their own prejudices and stereotypes
- Recognise and confront prejudice and discrimination in all forms
- Develop empathy, critical thinking, and communication skills
- Create an inclusive environment
- Develop an action plan

Basic Principles
We believe that prejudice and discrimination operate on three main levels: the individual, interpersonal, and institutional. The activities are interactive, experiential, and are rooted in the principles of intercultural learning. Participants are asked to share experiences and opinions, to practice active listening skills with others, and to learn emotionally as well as intellectually. Participants are also expected to develop an action plan that demonstrates personal responsibility for confronting prejudice and discrimination in society.

Upon completing the Train-the-Trainer Programme, you will become an EPTO Peer Trainer. You will be expected to organize and facilitate peer-training workshops and inform EPTO or your local member organisation about your training activities. These workshops can take place in schools or youth organisations, and they can last a few hours or a few days.

Criteria for participation
We are looking for 28 participants from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Poland and Romania. The training course targets multiplicators (such as social works, trainers in education, teachers, etc.) and interested young people who (want to) work or volunteer in youth education and or youth work.

Priority will be given to participants who…
- have experience or a specific interest in the fields of: youth work, social work, intercultural learning, diversity education, peace building, conflict transformation and mediation.
- are organised within or connected to partner organisations
- are currently active as volunteers or professionals in NGO work
- are committed to multiply the outcomes of the training course in their own work

Colazione Ligure @ Piccolo Spazio Interculturale

Sabato 19 maggio, dalle 9 alle 14, per l’appuntamento con le “Colazioni d’Italia“, tocca questa volta alla Liguria.

Presso i locali del Piccolo Spazio Interculturale gestiti dall’Associazione Serydarth, in via Caccia 5, a Casale Monferrato si potrà degustare una saporita “Colazione Ligure” composta da:

• Farinata di ceci con rosmarino
• Risiny
• Caffè o tè

Serviti con un sottofondo di musica ligure, tradizionale e non, la farinata di ceci, è una torta salata molto bassa, preparata con farina di ceci, acqua, sale, olio di oliva e cosparsa di rosmarino. Essan ha radici assai antiche: diverse ricette latine e greche riportano sformati di purea di legumi, cotti in forno. Una leggenda racconta che sia nato per casualità nel 1284, quando Genova sconfisse Pisa nella battaglia della Meloria. Le galee genovesi, cariche di vogatori prigionieri si trovarono coinvolte in una tempesta. Nel trambusto alcuni barilotti d’olio e dei sacchi di ceci si rovesciarono, inzuppandosi di acqua salata. Poiché le provviste erano quelle che erano e non c’era molto da scegliere, si recuperò il possibile e ai marinai vennero date scodelle di una purea informe di ceci e olio.
Nel tentativo di rendere meno peggio la cosa, alcune scodelle vennero lasciate al sole, che asciugò il composto in una specie di frittella.
Rientrati a terra i genovesi pensarono di migliorare la scoperta improvvisata, cuocendo la purea in forno. Il risultato piacque e, per scherno agli sconfitti, venne chiamato l’oro di Pisa.

Il risiny inceve è un dolce originario della zona dell’entroterra di Alassio.

Per partecipare alla colazione non è necessario prenotare. Verrà suggerito un contributo di sottoscrizione di 4€
