CO.AS.IT. Studenti della St Marks School, Fawkner durante il corso di italiano, “Esplora Pompei”. Co.As.It. – page 22 – Relazione Annuale 2009 I programmi in lingua italiana del Co.As.It-Museum Victoria per il 2009 sono stati presentati presso il Melbourne Museum, l’Immigration Museum e il Scienceworks e agli studenti di italiano. I programmi, che hanno incluso sia seminari autogestiti che presenziati da uno staff, hanno trattato temi riguardanti la storia della emigrazione italiana, il quartiere di Carlton, la scienza nelle nostre case, gli insetti e l’ecosistema. Il pezzo forte delle mostre ospitate a Melbourne nell’inverno del 2009 è stato A Day in Pompeii installato presso il Melbourne Museum. Per questa occasione è stato creato il kit educativo Andiamo a Pompei che conteneva materiale in italiano per insegnanti e studenti da utilizzare in classe e durante la visita alla mostra. Per la prima volta,poi, è stato anche prodotto un tour audio in lingua italiana scaricabile dal sito del Melbourne Museum http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseu m/education/education-kits/experience-thespirit-of-pompeii/ La mostra è stata visitata da più di 42,000 studenti di cui 1,600 studenti di italiano che hanno partecipato al corso Esplora Pompei presentato da Rosaria Zarro, Education Officer del Co.As.It.. Molti studenti hanno invece provato l’esperienza della visita autoguidata che richiedeva il completamento delle attività Museum Victoria linguistiche contenute nel kit educativo preparate per studenti di italiano ad un livello principiante e intermedio. Durante il Term 3, gli insegnanti di italiano sono stati invitati ad una visita speciale della mostra A Day in Pompeii sponsorizzata dal Co.As.It, VATI e dal Museum Victoria. All’evento hanno partecipato più di 150 insegnanti. Due workshop intensivi sulla Pompei romana patrocinati dal Co.As.It, VATI e DEECD hanno visto la partecipazione di 45 insegnati provenienti sia dalle aree metropolitane che rurali. Collaborazioni o iniziative con enti esterni È stata stretta una collaborazione tra la MLTAV (Modern Language Teachers Association of Victoria) e il Museum Victoria per sviluppare un nuovo programma in lingua italiana e poi pubblicato online. Il progetto guidato da Rosaria Zarro, Education Officer del Co.As.It, include un tour audio della galleria permanente Melbourne Story. La guida, indirizzata a coloro che possiedono un livello di italiano intermedio e avanzato, è scaricabile dal sito http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseu m/education/education-kits/la-storia-dimelbourne-audio-tour/ Rosaria Zarro Education Officer Museum Victoria
Italian Historical Society T he Co.As.It. Italian Historical Society (IHS), which has been operating on a full time basis throughout the year, has been steadily providing services to the community, to students and scholars, and developing its own resources on issues ranging from family history to women’s writing, internment, political activism, migrant identity and young Italian Australians. The IHS has liaised with institutions in Italy, i n p a r t i c u l a r t h e M u s e o R e g i o n a l e dell’Emigrazione “Pietro Conti” of Gualdo Tadino (province of Perugia), which was visited by IHS staff in January, the Fondazione “Paolo Cresci” per la Storia dell’Emigrazione Italiana (Lucca), the Museo Reggia dei Volsci of Carpineto Romano (province of Rome), the Museo dell’Emigrazione Italiana (Rome). Vol. 16 n. 1 of the Italian Historical Society Journal was published at the end of 2008; the project of making the Journal into a partly refereed publication is currently under way. The IHS is working on making the over 7,000 images of its photographic collection available online through the Picture Australia portal hosted on the website of the National Library of Australia. Events hosted by the IHS include the launch of Prof. Ivo Vellar’s autobiography Adventures in Two Worlds. My Battles With the D Word and the presentation of John Maneschi’s memoir Giovinezza. Wartime Memories of an Italo-Australian Schoolboy. The IHS has also taken part in the organisation of a cycle of lectures and debates in Italian on topics of Italian culture, organised in collaboration between Co.As.It., the Italian Consulate General and the Italian Institute of Culture. Carla To r r e g g i a n i ( D i p a r t i m e n t o d i S t u d i Glottoantropologici, Università La Sapienza, Rome) completed a two-month full-time internship at the IHS in December. A number of donations have been received, comprising photographs, documents and realia. On 31 May 2009 Premier John Brumby announced $1.45 million funding from the State Government for a permanent exhibition of the Italian presence in Australia, as part of the State Government Cultural Precincts Development project. The permanent exhibition has certainly been the most important IHS project this year and will be a milestone in the almost 30-year history of the Society, which will be relocated and substantially expanded by the time the exhibition opens in mid 2010. The IHS has been working steadily on this project since the beginning of 2008; the Working Group, which has been meeting regularly at the IHS under the supervision of the Project Control Group, has developed a brief which envisages a modern exhibition in five sections, three of which will be multimedia units based on the most advanced digital and interactive technology.
