Prometeo, a Cooperative Zenith project which aims to sustain the elderly and people with difficulties of the territories of Turin, carried out the “My dear grandchild of the future” venture.

It is a collection of video-letters recorded by a group of the Cooperative old friends who tried to reply to current questions about the pandemic period, like: “What do we want to remain of the difficult time we have just lived and that now we are living again?”

Replies merged in some video-letters addressed to the grandchildren of the future, in which the aged narrators describe the first lockdown (March-May 2020) and how they tried to make it through this difficult time.

They address the descendants who, although they didn’t take part directly in that historical moment, will be able to draw inspiration from the collected memories and use them as an essential lesson for their life.

Among the video-letters, there is a double one from  Armanda and Pasquale who report the significative experience of an old copule with 56 years of marriage, who “faced together the distance from children and grandchildren”.

The letter of Marina, instead, tells gently how “every crisis is also an opportunity” and how from this difficult experience it’s possible to learn something, especially from the rediscovered voice of nature.

The grand-grandfather of Francesco rediscovered the pleasure of spending time with his wife and of reading, but he doesn’t conceal his longing for his dear walks.

Those letters are becoming newly current because of the secondo lockdown (November 2020), but maybe they can be an instrument to see with eyes full of hope to a close future.

“Portineria di comunità” will take active part to the 15th Festival of Popular Cultures. The “Tradi Radio” seat in the “Portineria” (concierge) will come alive through the voices and the imagination of all the inhabitants, to give shape to an illustrated map of the desires about the future Porta Palazzo.

The “portineria” is a meeting  and exhange place, where you can receive the help you need and give help yourself to other inhabitants: it’s an exercise of human micro-economy that gives life to commerce, craftsmanship, and all the services without a specific category but that everyone needs, such as errands in government offices, doing the shopping, or a place to receive parcels. The project is recognized in Europe as a best practice. It is the final step of “Biagio” Project, one of the 15 social innovation projects sustained by the City of Turin through the Torino Social Factory program, financed also by Pon Metro 2014-2020 and imagined by “Rete Italiana di Cultura Popolare” in partnership with the Migrants Pastoral Office and “Nessuno è straniero”.

From 13th to 15th November  the 15th will take place the Festival of Popular Cultures “Community relationships”, organized by “Rete Italiana di Cultura Popolare”. The present edition will be totally “on radio”, available on Tradi Radio.

The main topic will be the community relationships and innovative ways to take care of them. Proximity because places and modalities will be analogical and digital, physical and virtual, material and immaterial. On the radio and online, with some performative actions open to everyone: from home, on foot, by bike, in order to move close people and make sure that the necessary distancing is only physical, not social and, instead, it will widen our idea of community and strengthen our sens of solidarity.
