SESTO FIORENTINO – “How small”. This is how education councilor Sara Martini comments on the Centre-Right’s controversy over “Seven boxes for freedom”, the text for boys and girls that the municipal administration of Sesto Fiorentino has created on the Resistance and its legacy today delivered to the students of Sesto in recent days.
“With respect to the wealth that lives in the schools of our city, thanks to the preparation and intelligence of teachers and students of all ages. – Councilor Martini continues, entrusting his thoughts to the social network Facebook – We often climb our hills with them (the last time it happened to me in recent days with a fifth primary class). Where men and women gave their lives for freedom. We don’t go by chance but to honor and find inspiration after spending time at school to know, discover, learn. With them we remember tragic moments in our local history in times of war, involving children and adults, schools and families, and with the contribution of various realities of the city. Think of the theater workshops and readings around the Collegino di Colonnata massacre. With them we put ideas and talents into circulation to create symbolic works, capable of uniting past and present (the last time it happened thanks to the creativity of the students of the Art School but in recent years it has happened many times)”.
Education councilor Sara Martini responds to the Center-Right after the open controversy over the children’s book “Seven boxes for freedom” delivered to Sesto schools.
“We did it and we do it after listening to witnesses and reading pages of history. – says Martini. With them we reach the places of the crimes of the Nazi-fascist regime. It will happen again next week when we leave, with the students of our city, towards the former extermination camps. Thus we ‘met’ Anna Maria Enriques Agnoletti, Don Eligio Bortolotti, Oliviero Frosali, Elio Bartolozzi. And the many, too many, nameless. Unique stories, under the same sky, for the freedom of all of us. Shared Memory resources are always an investment. Never a cost. And we will continue to spend it on all the projects that help to grow knowledge, to involve schools and new generations, to give life to the present and future of our democratic community”.
