The traveling exhibition “I am Anne Frank” at the Marte in Cava dei Tirreni ended a few days ago. Many school groups and private individuals participated in the guided tours, seminars and theatrical performances. Now it's time for Sostenibilidee.
On Sunday 12th January the Metelliano cultural centre opens its doors to a new exhibition, organised by Marte Live it in collaboration with INDIRE and Marevivo Onlus, with the patronage of the Province of Salerno and the Municipality of Cava de' Tirreni, open until 8th March.
The exhibition, a national preview, takes inspiration from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a program divided into 17 objectives (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) that 193 UN member countries signed in New York in 2015 to design a path towards a better and more sustainable future for all.
The goals concern the three dimensions of everyone's life: economic, social and environmental, which can be summarized in the so-called "Five Ps" (people: eliminate hunger and poverty in all its forms and ensure fulfillment, dignity and equality in a healthy environment; prosperity: ensure prosperous and full lives in harmony with nature; peace: promote peaceful, just and inclusive societies; planet: protect natural resources and combat climate change to meet the needs of present and future generations; partnership: mobilize the means necessary to implement this Agenda through a Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity).
“MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT GENERATION WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATIONS TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS”
Sostenibilidee aims to share this ideal with persevering and dynamic attitudes that set in motion a virtuous process, starting from information and training. Rich in images, captions and teaching units, the section “Seeing is an act” curated by INDIRE researchers Pamela Giorgi, Maria Chiara Pettenati, Isabelle Demaurissens and with the collaboration of Irene Zoppi.
The exhibition itinerary consists of a comparison between images from the past - from the Indire Historical Archive - and contemporary images produced by teachers - to encourage a look at possible change, especially by students, the true curators of the future. The historical images from the Indire Archive are visual documents that narrate by analogy or contrast the past approach to the environment, society and economy, and want to suggest a reflection on the direction to take in relation to achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. The current images are, instead, the result of the activities carried out during some in-person workshops, led by Indire researchers, in which the teachers involved were asked to match a photograph with one of the goals of the 2030 Agenda, taking into account their own disciplinary area: this is how “Native image making” was implemented, an approach of socio-anthropological origin that uses images initially as a stimulus (Photo Elicitation) and, subsequently, as the production of images (Native Image making).
Two of the 17 objectives on which the exhibition will focus: number 4 (quality education) which addresses the issue of food waste, poverty to be reduced and defeated, health to be guaranteed to everyone, prosperity in a fair and peaceful society, our planet to be loved and respected in all its forms, land, air and water.
And number 14 (life under water). Here the Marevivo Association will integrate the exhibition with one on the importance of protecting the marine ecosystem from the threats it is subjected to, so as to raise awareness among citizens and especially among young people, who represent the future of the Planet and are therefore invited to become an active part of a change of direction.
The following will speak at the vernissage on Sunday 12 January at 18.30:2030 pm: Pamela Giorgi, Maria Chiara Pettenati and Isabelle Demaurissens of INDIRE, curators of the section “Seeing is an act – The 2017 Agenda in the didactic projects of newly hired and educational teachers (2019-14)”, Pietro Vuolo and Lucio Siani, President and Vice President of Marevivo Salerno and the Amalfi Coast, present with a section on Objective XNUMX “Life Underwater”, and Loredana Pascarella, an expert in Environmental Sciences with a focus on Marine Sciences, who curated the in-depth factsheets on the so-called “Five Ps”, moderated by Gianluca Cicco.
The exhibition is designed for students from schools of all levels, presenting a variety of materials and contents that allow for different teaching approaches, from the most direct, playful and simple aimed at children to the most structured and information-rich for high school and university students. In addition, there are dramatized guided tours, themed workshops, meetings with representatives of culture, the University and civil society, matinees for schools by the Musikè Association of Salerno, and theatrical performances offered to high school and high school students on the topics covered in the exhibition.

The Musikè association of Marco De Simone, which will present the show Plastic Free, the funny monologue of a little fish that lives in the ocean, trapped in a net of waste, invites us to reflect on the delicate ecosystem that we are destroying with our actions and on the importance of listening to nature in all its forms, because we are part of it, even when we forget it. The show, using a language that is at times symbolic and metaphorical, lends itself to constructive debate with students who, stimulated by their subjective interpretations, can discuss with the author after the staging.
