begin today to bring the articles I'm writing in my collaboration with 'Festival Daily News ', the official newspaper of the 59th Sanremo Festival. It begins with his meeting with Joseph Trieste, President of fairy tales and published in today's issue of the newspaper.
President Trieste, what fairy tales!
FIABA was founded in 2000 with a clear objective: to exit from the disability to go to the quality of life. What distinguishes the tale is its commitment to the universality of people facing - and I stress people. Have you ever seen a disability to walk alone? - Each of them with their physical, psychological, religious, cultural. TALE is building a cultural message: each, in their diversity, are welcome.
TALE: an acronym evocative and meaningful. Conscious choice or happy coincidence?
He reveals now that our name does not originate as an acronym. Came into being with the meaning of the dream that every human being feeds within. To achieve it, however, is necessary to follow a path with commitment and dedication. The dream, moreover, is a common feature of all: African children, Italian, Chinese, Australian. All of them, in their differences, live their dreams with the desire to turn them into reality.
She wrote: "We want to stir the conscience and contribute ad abbattere le barriere culturali, prima ancora che architettoniche, che non permettono di comunicare”. Che cosa sono quindi le barriere culturali, anche attraverso la sua esperienza?
Le barriere culturali non sono altro che l’origine delle barriere architettoniche. Ognuno di noi, con il proprio retaggio culturale, si trova spesso di fronte a paure che frenano e limitano la crescita della persona. La nostra capacità di superare questi freni sta nella disponibilità ad aprirsi di fronte ai cambiamenti. Personalmente le barriere culturali le vedo ogni giorno, soprattutto nelle classi sociali medio-alte. Del resto, meno si soffre e più it is presumptuous.
Among your goals is to "re-engineer the environment on the principles of Universal Design." What is the meaning of this statement?
The Universal Design - which in Italian we define as "universal planning" - is an approach that, according to a statement by the European Union, indicate the projects intended to eliminate any a physical barrier. All design activities have a fundamental purpose, which is to ensure that the internal and external environment is able to fully express all of us. The technology in this area helps a lot, and for many years now. I remember an athlete at the Paralympics in 1980: this woman - very nice and chiseled physique by running the 100 and 200 meters - had lost their arms, but with electrical implants could even wear makeup. Oscar Pistorius (South African athlete can no legs, thanks to a new generation of prosthetics, to match the timing of his fellow Olympians Ed) is the most striking example in this regard.
President, speaks of her. His résumé states that, among other activities, she is also a sports plurimedagliato.
Exactly. I consider myself a founder in the sport for the disabled. Following my accident - in 1961 - I was welcomed into the structures of war invalids and Labour (the disabled civilians are only recognized in 1971) and there I started to play sports, coming to win five gold medals in the Championships World Disabled in London in 1965. In 1968 I helped create dell’Associazione Nazionale Sport Paraplegici Italiani, riconosciuta nel 1979 dalla Federazione Sport Disabili. Con le Paraolimpiadi del 1980 ho terminato la mia attività sportiva e ho fondato ANTHAI, un’associazione per la tutela delle persone con handicap. Quest’esperienza ha rappresentato il trampolino di lancio di FIABA, nel 2000.
