“The road of books passes through… it is a laudable initiative that the Region has long willingly included in the ReadAMO 0-18 reading promotion project, with which it intends to lay the foundations, from early childhood, for a society made up of people who read, inform themselves and know how to think”, underlined the Vice President of the Region and Councilor for Culture Mario Anzil. “It is a road, the one that books travel outside of libraries through the stages of this exhibition, which leads children to a love of reading, curiosity and experimentation.. A summer-long journey that offers opportunities to get to know and learn and do it together, encouraging sociality and outdoors, in some of the places in our region where beauty is the main ingredient”.
The theme of water is also strongly linked to our territory rich in rivers, lakes, springs and overlooking the lagoon and the sea and offers numerous ideas as can be seen from the varied program of meetings. Happy journey therefore, to young readers, parents and operators, towards knowledge!
The collaboration of the Municipalities is important.
“We appreciate it very much,” he said Davide IannisPresident of the Monfalconese Cultural Consortium which coordinates the project – the collaboration of the numerous Municipalities that enthusiastically join ‘The book road passes through…’ every year, which has an important role in promoting reading also thanks to its widespread diffusion. Not only that: events of this type are fundamental for the involvement of citizens and for enhancing the beauty of our territory”.
“Libraries and municipal administrations surprise us every year with the perfect places in which they host us, increasingly aware and diligent in finding the right place that provides the ideal setting for the stories told – is the comment of Tomas Sione, Vice President Damatrà Onlus -. These are always places capable of enhancing the stories and the theme of the year. For us it is very nice to see how more and more moments of aggregation are built around the event with the communities, who, on foot, by bicycle and this year also by boat, reach the places to dive into the stories”.
The event aims to combine the promotion of reading with other cultural promotion paths present in the area, to activate synergies aimed at the growth of the entire community.
Water in all its forms, a resource of life and stories.
The theme around which the ‘The road of books passes by…’ 2024 calendar is developed it is water in all its forms, an irreplaceable resource and cradle of civilization, but above all an inexhaustible source of stories.
