Festival delle culture comunitarie
Reciprocity Festival to refocus on non-economic values
Festival that arises with the following objectives to aim for:
– to try to immortalize the memory of Nonnetta Antonietta Saccaro in Faoro, as a well-deserved thank you
– to keep alive the Cultures and the Noble Values of the Pre-Monetary Indigenous Peoples
– to provide a better Society for the son Yuian Angel Turra Osorio and his friends, through the use of reciprocal distribution systems, and not just monetary and economic ones
– to make papá Angelo Turra happy and proud, as a thank you for all he has done and given
– to exchange favors with the great Community of Friends and even with strangers.
The festival aims to be a physical and also online SHOWCASE, for:
1.1-LEARN and KNOW, not only theoretically, but practically new things and also new people.
1.2- PROMOTE:
– all my Friends and acquaintances who have something to offer the Community and who work for Culture
– alternative and complementary forms to money, to circulate the real wealth we have and that we are capable of creating
– the existence and functionality of OTHER FORMS of capital, besides monetary, through practice, as the organization and realization of the Festival aims to demonstrate
– the beauty and genuineness of my beloved native land: Feltrino-Bellunese in the Dolomites
– the various projects we are realizing and that exist in Mexico
1.3- GIVE DIGNITY TO:
– the Agricultural and Mountain Culture, Italian and Mexican
– forms of empirical learning, not only theoretical and official from school and university
– community work
– voluntary work for the benefit of Culture and Community
– exchange, gifting, lending, mutual help …
Learning, promoting, and working in an environment of celebration, coexistence, friendship, healthy fun, art …
Noticing that to feel better, we must organize ourselves communally (with or without institutions) to produce more and more of what we need, to become less dependent on external factors that are beyond our control.
Production, organization, and communication, are therefore the 3 key points to strengthen, which should especially engage new generations, before they are totally absorbed and dependent on the system, with no way out.
The goal is ambitious, but what alternatives do we have?
Trying to save ourselves alone is quite complicated and I would say almost useless; either we save ourselves as a group or no one gets saved. That’s why together collaborating instead of competing, is much more fun and far simpler than what they have managed to make us believe.
Why not give it a try…
Well, now what I ask of you is simply to try to participate in the Festival and to promote it among your Friends and acquaintances.
And maybe collaborate by presenting your activities, services, and products for the benefit of the Community.
The collaboration and “presence” of the dear “muertitos” who are still alive, will certainly not be lacking …
2- THANKS
- To Agricultural Culture of the Dolomites of Feltrino-Bellunese of Nonnetta Antonietta and the Turra-Faoro family, typical of most Bellunesi of the past.
- To Mexico, and especially to the Mexicans, the true Masters of Life, from whom in Friendship or by participating in conferences, courses, exhibitions … it is possible to learn a lot. Learning in a practical way, not just theoretically, respecting values, keeping one’s word, Mother Earth with all its inhabitants—not just human, reciprocity, and other values … that alas are no longer taught and respected.
