Travel – Horizons, Frontiers, Generations

The side events continue for the exhibition Travel – Horizons, Frontiers, Generations

Sunday 17 November two free workshops held by two authoritative journalists from the NEOS Travel Journalists Association.

1 – Writing workshop: “The journey” on paper, video, radio and social media by Danilo Poggio. Meeting at Palazzo Ferrero from 10.00 to 13.00.

Writing about a trip doesn’t just mean writing on paper. But how do you tell a journey or rather an experience? How many ways can I do it?

In a world that has endlessly multiplied the means of communication, the word remains the essential element of every story. But it is necessary to know how to decline, adopting different languages ​​and communicative styles, based on our audience.

The workshop aims to provide the essential elements to exploit the many possibilities that are offered today. From the article in a prestigious magazine, to the post on Instagram, from the light-hearted intervention on a national radio to a video for YouTube or TikTok, the communicator must know how to move with ease and flexibility, always trying to speak to the hearts of people…

2 – Photography workshop: “The story of the city at night” by the photographer Mimmo Torrese, a passionate connoisseur of contemporary art and a subtle observer of the things that surround him: from 4.00pm to 10.00pm, meeting at Palazzo Ferrero.

A meeting on the representation of a place illuminated by artificial light and frequented by the people of the night.

Designed for both advanced and entry-level amateurs, even with only smartphones, they want to tackle technical and compositional issues linked to a branch of photography. The mini course consists of two moments, one theoretical and one practical.

Reservations required on: 388 5647455 – info@palazzoferrero.it

Città Studi SpA

An economic flow of around 7.5 million euros. It is the estimate of the economic impact of Città Studi Biella in terms of savings and economic value generated in the Biella area.

A result that explains how the instrumental company of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation is an important resource for the whole territory.

The growth of a territory, in fact, passes through both educational and innovative development. These are the cornerstones of the entire social and economic sector.

To be more competitive, a territory needs specific skills and strategies. Città Studi SpA works to realize the competitive advantage of the territory, training people and creating projects around which economic scenarios revolve.

In 2018 Città Studi SpA recorded important numbers related to the local economic flow: around 7.5 million euros is the estimate of the economic impact of Città Studi SpA in terms of savings and economic value generated in the local area, a result that testifies to the capacity to translate ideas into actions for the benefit of the Biella socio-economic system. And that explains how Città Studi SpA is an important resource for the whole territory.

The relevant data is taken from the 2018 Sustainability Report: a document that aims to offer an overview of the structure, services and results achieved by the company thanks to the experience gained in over forty years of history.

Turn on relationships beyond devices

Thursday, November 14th at 6.30 pm at the Aula Magna of the IIS Eugenio Bona the next appointment of #fuoriluogo will take place with Bruno Mastroianni as protagonist.

We talk about social web as if it were a computer issue, but in reality they open up to a much bigger challenge: can we tell ourselves, talk about what’s going on and discuss with others?

Is it possible in this scenario to find a way of communicating that allows us to build quality relationships?

Can we face the other’s difference without quarreling?

Bruno Mastroianni is a journalist and social media manager of television broadcasts. It holds digital communication courses and online conflicts in universities, companies and non-profit organizations.

He will dialogue with the author Silvia Basiglio.

The Biella hospital: between creativity and humanism of care

Third floor, East side of the Biella Hospital. A place of therapy and care. People who are ill with cancer and are following therapies or taking control tests are waiting in two bright rooms. On the walls, the graphic, intense and symbolic interpretation that a large group of students from the art school of Biella has taken care of.

The Human Resources Training and Development Service, the nursing team of the Oncology Department and the teachers and students of the Art School “G. & Q. Sella”, drawing inspiration from the poetics of Master Michelangelo Pistoletto, have developed the project for the preparation of the halls of waiting for the Oncological Day Hospital, looking at values ​​such as attention to the world of others, hope for regeneration possible for each person, particularly in the relationship and in the testimony. A project carried out thanks to the contribution and support of the Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation, which has always been attentive not only to instrument donations but also to humanization projects.

Two elements now inhabit those spaces: a natural one, the tree, the beauty and pride of life that develops in roots and branches, leaves and flowers, almost dreamlike forms in their grace; the other that relates to the ability of man (Biellese industry, in particular), balls of dense, full wool, which unfold to tell stories and experiences, which weave thin, tenacious, rough and porous threads, colorful in sharing open by narration. And the balls wool are also made three-dimensional, leaving “rain” threads in the waiting rooms, to collect words, thoughts, testimonies of those who pass in those places and want to offer a trace of themselves writing on colored paper leaves.

An embrace between nature and thought, between existences that touch on the intermittent daily that is good. What a cure.

Creativity and care: both need spaces for listening and dialogue, silences and words, light and color; both find a home in the Biella Hospital, which becomes a place of reflection and sharing between subjects involved at various levels in attention to the other, disseminating narrative and expressive experiences.

In addition to trees and balls of yarn, in fact, a significant element seals and nourishes the overall sense of the project: in front of the reception desk for assisted people, to support its pace and standing, the symbol of the “Third Paradise”, intertwined in the colors of Asl BI. An extraordinarily evocative form that Master Pistoletto has been designing and developing for 16 years and which he recently donated to accompany Biella towards the prestigious UNESCO “Creative City” award: a symbol of the balance between nature and artifice, it represents a renewed humanity.
