Program of Ethnographic Centre initiatives "Storie di culture - dalla storia locale al mondo contemporaneo" (Stories of culture - from local history to the contemporary world)

Dates

Description
The Ethnographic Centre of Alessandria was set up to protect, enhance and make increasingly accessible the heritage of the ethnographic and intercultural research institutions that operate on the territory of Alessandria: the anthropological and ethnographic collection of the Civic Library, the Ethnographic Museum "C'era una volta", Istituto Cooperazione Sviluppo, l'ISRAL - Istituto per la Storia della Resistenza e della società contemporanea in the province of Alessandria, the Association Cultura e Sviluppo, the Association PASSOdopoPASSO, the Museums of Ancient Trades and the Tamburello of Basaluzzo.

One year from its constitution, it expresses the synergy among the participating institutions for the promotion and accessibility of the respective cultural offerings, through the proposal of a shared programme of initiatives connected to the themes of socio-anthropological change, with a look which from our local historical reality extends its boundaries to an intercultural and contemporary perspective.
