On 23 December in Vicenza, a national conference on the theme “THE ACTIVITIES CARRIING OUT RURAL CULTURE: what they represent in numerical, economic, occupational, social and cultural terms” organized by Cultura Rurale - Onlus.
The Association for the Defense and Promotion of Rural Culture - Onlus aims to defend the Values of which Rural Culture is the bearer and to disseminate them to public opinion. Knowing to respect and to be respected: this is one of the main objectives that ACR-Onlus aims to achieve with its initiatives.
The activities carrying rural culture pass down, from generation to generation, values which have their roots in rural culture and which are a fundamental part of our history, our culture and our traditions.
We believe that, through the union of all the bearers of rural culture, we will have the strength and the ability to make public opinion understand what we represent in numerical, economic, employment, social and cultural terms.
With a view to promoting the union of all the bearers of rural culture, ACR-Onlus has organized this important national conference which will take place on Friday 23 December 2011 starting at 9,00 am in the conference room of the Cloisters of Santa Corona. , located in Contrà Santa Corona n. 4 in Vicenza.
