Sabato 8 Settembre 2012, presso l’ Auditorium al Duomo, a Firenze, in via De’ Cerretani 54/r, si inaugura una mostra d’Arte Contemporanea curata da Nicholas Tolosa e Roberto Esposito per l’Accademia dei Partenopei, intitolata: “incontrARTI”.
Il titolo è visto come dimensione appunto dell’ incontro: tra le persone per strada, nei bus, nelle metro, negli ambienti domestici, incontri tra diverse culture, etnie.
Ogni giorno incontriamo qualcuno o qualcosa; ciò suscita nell’ individuo una concatenazione di emozioni che si manifestano anche a livello inconscio, determinando il vissuto quotidiano e le esperienze dell’ essere in quanto tale.
A tutto ciò si aggiunge l’ incontro delle arti, delle diverse contaminazioni e dei diversi linguaggi.
Le arti, che da millenni affascinano l’ umanità intera e senza le quali probabilmente tutto ciò che ci circonda non sarebbe lo stesso.

Gli Artisti in mostra:
Alberto Gianfranco Baccelli,
Nadia Basso,
Regina Di Attanasio,
Roberto Esposito,
Ercole Gino Gelso,
Giordano Martone,
Lorenzo Mattone,

Our vision

Now more than ever the World International Community cannot separate dialogue among cultures from the development of peaceful coexistence and safeguarding of the planet Earth we all share.

The Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation has fulfilled its commitment with the Life Beyond Tourism Philosophy and Initiative that combines factors like heritage fruition, values-oriented travel, intercultural dialogue for safeguarding the planet Earth for attaining a new commercial offer where the local “Learning Communities” are the main actors.

World Heritage Sites -very rich in multiculturality on their sites- can play a significant role in promoting dialogue among cultures, which is consequently useful also  for the sustainability of the Planet Earth and for the management of our territories and our lives; 
in conclusion, WHS are important for the future of our cities, sites and planet Earth: our future!

We remember the words of Ban Ki-moon (former UN Secretary General) pronounced last year about  the ‘transformation’ aspired for by the United Nations Post-2015 Agenda:

“Transformation is our watchword.
At this moment in time, we are called to lead and act with courage.
We are called to embrace change.
Change in our societies.
Change in the management of our economies.
Change in our relationship with our one and only planet”
Our contribution to the change is:

WORLD HERITAGE SITES for DIALOGUE for PLANET EARTH.
heritage, travel, dialogue on and for the planet Earth.
One world, one origin, many cultures, a shared destiny or none!

Background & Introduction

This Symposium is closely connected with the previous ones, the 2016 “SITES for DIALOGUE” and the 2017“HERITAGE for PLANET EARTH”, whose respective scientific achievements are collected in totally 8 different ISBN-coded publications.

 The aims of the 2018 Symposium are strictly connected with OUR VISION; we are not sustainable tourism, we are not responsible tourism, we are TRAVEL for DIALOGUE or TRAVELLING DIALOGUE ORIENTED.We open a platform where to get together THEORY & PRACTICE; as you know and as already said, World Heritage Sites represent a great strategy for getting people of different cultures together and for exercising dialogue among numerous cultures and contributing, thus, to the safeguarding of our planet.

The World Heritage Sites represent an opportunity to meet peoples and travelers in an ideal context of absolute relaxation given by the holiday atmosphere and with a willingness to listen, observe and reflect; and the so-called “Learning Communities” (residents, travelers, local authorities, educational institutions, cultural and economic operators, etc.) ought to direct their action:

• to realize the said opportunity, in order to play their relevant role in achieving the community’s interest in peaceful development, protecting the Earth’s health and limiting climatic change
• to guarantee that the development is not driven by the market trends but managed by multiannual planning approaches that guide policies, business practices and behaviors.

 The Heritage for Planet Earth theme is intended as part of a wider awareness-raising strategy – addressed to younger generations and to institutions dedicated to their training – on the fragility of the cultural-natural heritage and the environmental equilibrium of the planet Earth.

As already said, sites of cultural interest – classified and not – and those of natural interest  are increasingly attracting visitors from all over the world; therefore, these sites are enriched by multiculturalism and have the opportunity – but we should start considering it as “a duty” – to become true centers of dialogue between cultures present on their territory. Therefore, all actors of the “cultural trip”, the above-mentioned “Learning Communities”, with their services, with their hospitality, have to pursue that aim, for the growth of the international community in peaceful coexistence; so it will help also to start the exercise of useful reflections on the heritage, and widespread awareness of the respect and protection of the Earth’s “health”.

2^nd International conference on creative society

“Creativity: Individual or Social Phenomenon?”

Conference Postponed – date to be defined

Introduction

Creativity is a very important aspect of society. Some scholars are absolutely enthusiastic about creativity that should give a competitive priority in respect of the competitors. Nevertheless, creativity also raises many problems in management of it from feeling of guilty to threat against identity of community. In general, creativity is an ambivalent and contradictory phenomenon that covers both positive and negative aspects. As a result, policy of creativity faces some paradoxes. The biggest challenge to the policy is the very creativity.
There are different attitudes towards creativity. The scholars treat creativity as a function of work, of the novel products, of social activity, of divergent thinking and idea generations, of cognition and judgement, of relationship between an individual and her environment.
The impact of creativity is not always positive speaking both – about social connections and about individual feelings. The scholars pay attention to the fact that an individual creativity threatens to the social connections. Additionally, creativity provokes not only a rejection and criticism, but also the conflicts in a society. Finally, creativity causes feeling of guilt or can lead to self-destruction. As a result, it could be said that the positive aspects of creativity are inseparable from its negative factors. That is why the scholars speak about the complex interactions of creativity. Another source of complexity is the double nature of creativity that is directed towards the social environment, although it stems as the individual aspirations that, in turn, are inseparable from the social world. The idea of balance or harmony is inseparable from the idea of comfortable climate in society. However, the creative decisions are the results of discomfort, stress or crisis and provoke intolerance, anger or ignorance.

Aim of the conference 

is to analyse the phenomenon of creativity; the relationship between individual creativity and social creativity; the paradoxes of creativity in the communities and in the organizations; the relationship between social capital and creative capital; aspects of creative economy; the peculiarities of creativity’s management.
