Da quando Palermo è diventata Patrimonio UNESCO  con il Sito seriale  Arabo Normanno, e in occasione di “ Palermo Capitale della Cultura 2018”  oltre a lusingarci enormemente ci ha fatto sentire una grande responsabilità come CLUB che ha voluto  pertanto contribuire alla diffusione della conoscenza del Patrimonio Culturale nello spirito di condivisione ed attuazione dei Valori dell’UNESCO e per contribuire allo sviluppo di un turismo sostenibile come opportunità di sviluppo locale e di occupazione per i giovani siciliani che come sappiamo tutti vivono un grande disagio in questo  che li costringe ad emigrare.
Si è voluto intraprendere un progetto di ricerca di tesori nascosti con esperti del Patrimonio Culturale della Città e con il coinvolgimento di artisti, testimoni viventi delle tradizioni popolari siciliane.
Nell’ambito dell’iniziativa sono stati formati studenti  provenienti dall’Università o giovani guide che collaboreranno alle visite  del Sito Seriale Arabo Normanno e valorizzando il Patrimonio culturale anche intorno ai Siti UNESCO .
Sono stati individuati anche altri percorsi inediti, come “i mercati storici a Palermo, Sulle Orme dei Normanni, Il Percorso Ebraico a piedi o in bicicletta, alla scoperta di alcuni degli innumerevoli tesori della città di Palermo, da raccontare ai Soci dei Club e dei Centri per UNESCO d’Italia ed Esteri che vorranno onorarci della loro visita, ma anche ai Siciliani stessi curiosi di approfondire il proprio Patrimonio Culturale. Poi si è aggiunta l’Esperienza della Trasversale Sicula, un percorso di un Progetto di  Rediscovery a tappe da Kamarina a MOTHIA di trekking,  del territorio siciliano  che il club ha promosso e che oggi conta 20000 contatti .
I club oggi, tantissimi in Sicilia e in Italia, messi in rete con  altre Istituzioni che operano per L’UNESCO come rivoli di un grande fiume, grazie al Brand UNESCO, un Brand al primo posto nell’immaginario collettivo per la fiducia verso gli interessi collettivi,  devono essere  sempre di più al servizio della società civile, accendendo arcobaleni e contribuendo a valorizzare  iniziative meritevoli  per  ingrossare le acque di un fiume, quasi in secca, che solo tutti insieme possiamo rendere navigabie.
Informazioni del Club:
E possibile prenotare (al numero di cellulare 3921690243) le Visite attraverso il Club Per L’Unesco Di Palermo che ha messo a punto anche delle proposte di soggiorno  dedicate ai Club Italiani ed Europei ma non solo. Tali percorsi sono stati messi a disposizione del Comune di Palermo e del Visitor Center UNESCO e vengono proposti all’interno della Settimana delle Culture che, quest’anno  si svolge dal 11 al 19 maggio  2019.

Codici is an independent social research agency born to offer support and technical consulting to entities of the welfare system.

Codici is an independent non-for-profit social research organisation, founded in 2005 in Milan (Italy). It assists public institutions, third sector organizations or private companies, helping them cope with social change. Codici’s researchers and social workers employ the tools of applied social research to analyse emerging social and cultural phenomena, offer consultancies, training courses and technical assistance on specific social topics and policies, support project development and evaluation for innovative social services.
Codici is focused on social intervention, mainly built up by and with all the people involved in the actions. The wide previous experience in management consulting and in methodological supervision implemented by the all the people working in Codici, lead the company to understand how often social organizations and social institutions think, plan, and achieve their actions starting from themselves and their needs, instead of thinking of their users. Codici wants to subvert this way to act, and wants to work in the social field by taking care of people, valorising them as subjects who bring competences, who are able to define their needs, who need a stronger motivation to realise their dreams. The fundamental mission of Codici could be synthetized by a good mix between combining high quality standards for all subjects working with and for the Social Co-operative, to the extreme attention paid to social processes activated by its daily work. Its purpose is to test and implement innovative action projects in the areas of social welfare.
