The main objective of the project is to spread the new sensitivity that women are bringing as a dowry today, that for collaboration VS the opposition. A development and management model also useful for the mountains where processes, problems and innovation are carried out by several hands, bringing together different looks, skills and cultures and thus bringing the benefit of a collective mind, a model in which if one of the parties wins, all the others always win.
The project was co-financed by Lombardy Region, it was based on the realization of a documentary about the status of women in mountain areas.
Among the interviewed: the Councillor of the Province of Sondrio Silvana Snieder, the President of Valtellina Tourism Giovanna Muscetti, Professor Miretta Tovini, lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera and entrepreneurs, researchers of Valcamonica and Valtellina.
The project was promoted by the Association VALTEMO, GESDIMONT, Cooperation Bancaire puor l’Europe (CBE), Lombardia Film Commission, Boston University – Metropolitan College based in Brussels and the association Greenlight for Girls. It was built with the contribution of Lombardy Region – Culture, Identity and Autonomy and with the support of Banca Popolare di Sondrio.
The Unimont project joined a larger project that includes a supra-regional partnership with Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. In the new phase started from the Veneto, WOMEN MAKE HISTORY, the work of mountain women is seen in a diachronic perspective and today’s professions are put in the system with those of 100 years ago, during the Great War. That was one of the first times when women became protagonists in areas conceived exclusively in a male key.
The project involves the construction of monographic videos and the development of interactive installations to illustrate the new business model promoted by women today, a series of training events to promote greater cultural awareness and more effective communication, professional training courses for active young entrepreneurs in mountain areas.
