Education & Participation

One of the cornerstones of the entire program lies in the active involvement of the local community. This section is dedicated to workshops, training activities, and intergenerational projects conceived with the aim of turning the experience of the Capital into a shared exercise in cultural citizenship. With the involvement of contemporary artists and local artisans, and through the creation of podcasts or art-education pathways for all kinds of audiences, memories that would otherwise be lost are recovered and shared—those very memories that today become a driving force for renewed participation.
