24 June, Gubbio - A Journey into Tibet

For ASIA's 30th anniversary, Gubbio opens its doors to Tibet and to ASIA.
 

In collaboration with the Rotary Club Perugia – Trasimeno , the Park Hotel ai Cappuccini in Gubbio and with the patronage of the Municipality of Gubbio, on 24 June we will organise a day dedicated to Tibet in Gubbio, in a territory rich in natural beauty where history, culture and art live in perfect harmony with the environment.

ASIA turns thirty this year: since 1988 this Non-Governmental Organisation has been active in several Asian regions: Tibet, India, Nepal, Mongolia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, to protect the precious heritage of culture guarded by local communities and to improve their living conditions.

To inform civil society we will tell the story of Tibet and its culture through images, stories and flavours. The Civic Museum of Gubbio holds a precious collection of Tibetan objects, donated to the municipality by an English diplomat.

The aim is twofold: on the one hand to offer the Umbrian community and the tourists who visit Gubbio the chance to discover the richness of Tibet's culture and traditions, a heritage of knowledge that risks disappearing, and on the other to make known the projects ASIA carries out in the field, both in the Tibetan regions of China and in the Tibetan refugee settlements in India and Nepal.

The initiative will take place on Sunday 24 June, with two appointments:

• 9:30 – 19:30 Sala degli Stemmi of the Palazzo del Comune di Gubbio (Piazza Grande, 9)
  Opening of the event with the participation of the Mayor of Gubbio Prof. Filippo Stirati. Alongside the contemporary painting exhibition Tibet.Art.Now., with works by internationally renowned Tibetan artists, the display of engravings, books and antique maps on Tibet, the presence of Tibetan merchandising and the screening of videos on ASIA's projects. The initiative in the Sala degli Stemmi will remain open until 19:30.
• 20:00 – 23:30 Park Hotel ai Cappuccini – Gubbio (Via Tifernate)
  To come into contact with the flavours and aromas of Tibet there will be a show cooking and a Tibetan dinner prepared by a Tibetan cook together with the Chef of the Park Hotel ai Cappuccini.
  For the dinner a donation of 25 Eurois requested, which will be entirely donated to the Association's projects, booking required by 22 June by email
