“La coopera”: the cooperation in memory of the past
The project which was promoted in partnership with the Young Cooperators’ Association of Trentino and the Women in Cooperation Association has the purpose to collect fifteen testimonies of people who significantly contributed to the development of the cooperative movement in Trentino. The interviewees were selected by the don Lorenzo Guetti Foundation in collaboration with the Trentino Federation of Cooperation according to CV, place of birth and field of work they belong to.
Specific interviews were made for each interviewee and the aim was to especially highlight:
1) The work and role each of those had done in the cooperative and local community;
2) The identity and cooperative feeling that each of them developed during their life;
3) Visions and thoughts on the cooperation of today and of tomorrow.
Video pills of four/five minutes were obtained from the full interviews and they were shown during public events organised in Santa Croce of Bleggio, in Rovereto and in Trento: there were a total of 45 people.
The video interviews will be given to the Historical Museum of Trentino Foundation and they will be inserted in their archive while the video pills will be used on different channels in order to promote the cooperative spirit and the activities of the Foundation. Continuing this activity is being considered.
