Il Bar del Porto and Pagine Migranti

Two online events of the “Distinti ma non distanti” project
Stories of people, of routes and of migrants. Tales of memory and exchange. Empathy is at the heart of two special appointments scheduled for Friday 29 and Sunday 31 January, strictly in online mode.

Two events ideally hosted also by the Libraries of Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome and made together with our partners Programma Integra e FEM Fondazione Empatia Milano involved in the Global Citizenship Education project Distinti Ma Non Distanti, funded by AICS, Agency for Development Cooperation and created to promote knowledge among people belonging to different cultures and to foster the spread of the concept of diversity as a value.

The first, Il Bar del Porto in which Four foreign citizens, Fatimazahara, Ihab, Felix and Lamine, from Gambia, Togo, Egypt and Morocco, will put themselves to the test by entering a virtual bar, the bar of a port, of any place in the world. There they will meet a “curious” bartender, coach and trainer of the Istituto Psicologico Europeo Michele Palazzetti, who will guide us on a journey towards Eufemia, “the city where memories are exchanged”, to make us enter the lives of others, to get to know, to understand, to bring distant worlds closer.

The event is curated by our partner Programma Integra and will be live on Facebook on our channels and on those of our partners on Friday 29 January from 11.00 to 12.30.

On 31 January it will then be the turn of FEM Human Library ‘Pagine Migranti’, the library of books in flesh and blood promoted by FEM – Fondazione Empatia Milano, in which people from different countries tell their stories to the readers who will want to meet them online, talking with them for about twenty minutes. The setting is that of a special library complete with a catalogue of titles, cover blurbs and librarians from whom to borrow a Human Book and listen to it for half an hour. Their names are Safia, Viktoria, Marlen, Shaza, Mahamadou, Yaya, Doumbia…

To consult the catalogue of human books, choose and book a “reading”, it will be enough to book at this link.
