This Article point out an important event.
La Biennale Democracy is not just a way to retrospectively recall and celebrate one of the most important aspects of the story of a united Italy. He wants to be a means for training and dissemination of a culture of democracy that will result in democratic practice, the problems at the present moment. It will focus its efforts in a three-pronged dissemination and deepening democratic ethics: how habitus of citizens, respect for the rules as common and as awareness of the characteristics of democracy as a political ideal.
* The promotion of democracy as a habit entails the distribution, in practice, patterns of behavior-based, by way of example, the definition and practice of recruitment generally accepted standards of justice, care and the pooling of diverse talents that every individual is gifted with the spirit of dialogue and equality; on openness, curiosity and willingness to "contamination" in respect of different cultural identities, critical attitude towards their starting assumptions and the ability to learn from those of others; experimental attitude, willing to learn from own mistakes, on the assumption of responsibilities that follow the application of the principle most part, both by those who are the majority by the minority who is, selfless attitude and honesty of communication, through a special attention to the accuracy, understandability, the non-violent and not suggestive of the language used. One imagines that this promotion, including through practical experience of involvement, the course addresses, in the first place, where citizens are formed democracy of tomorrow, which means the schools. But the practice of democracy may also be promoted through the organization of practical experience of "deliberative democracy" in various areas, in which involve people who are motivated, competent and responsible in order to promote participation models qualified to collective decisions.
* The need to respect the common rules will be subject to popular programs, aimed not only to encourage awareness of the value of legality, as a condition-based civil, political and administrative as possible free from bullying, deceit, favoritism and injustice, but also to promote the participation and control, about the proper use of public and private powers, which affect the collective life of citizens. In this respect too, you can promote experiences of participation-control at different levels and in different sectors of collective life. *
Democracy as a political ideal is the subject of a program of lectures and conferences devoted primarily to the doctrines of democracy, the history of their achievements, their failures and betrayals, the problems and challenges facing the world in which it is contemporary, with an emphasis on not only the immediate political dimension of democracy. All aspects of community life, in fact, lend and need to be considered from the point of view of democracy as an example, the character of urban and architectural structures and ways of experiencing them, ways of organizing work and the protection of workers, cultural institutions, starting from schools, information systems and communication, reports that say "gender", the ways of coexistence between individuals. Democracy is self-multiplying, you can search all the social relations and can be found using all means of social communication: not just with lectures and conferences, as well as film shows, drama and music to which we will pay attention equally not only to reach a vast audience as possible, but also to tap a range of topics as broad as possible.
The initiatives referred to the items listed, practical and theoretical, will be implemented. In particular, those that take place in schools and places of practical experience should also have a preliminary value to those of theoretical, but also the opposite: the discussion of issues of democracy in theory could have an impact in the practical dimension.
This program will be developed over the years. Every two years, beginning in April 2009, will focus efforts "visible", and call for greater social involvement, but the time will not be a long term passive and silent, as it will be dedicated to promoting common experiences and reflections pervasive in the fabric of the city and region, as well as a call for democratic theory and practice.
