Si tratta di 4 percorsi educativi, dedicati ognuno a una fiaba illustrata da Stepan Zavrel e a un Obiettivo di Sviluppo Sostenibile delle Nazioni Unite, arricchiti da nuove illustrazioni realizzate nel corso di laboratori in residenza organizzati grazie al progetto REVIVAL da Elodie Brondoni, Michela Gasparini e Corinne Zanette.
Perché questo abbinamento? La risposta è semplice: Stepan Zavrel ha illustrato fiabe con contenuti importanti, fiabe che portano ai bambini – ma anche ai loro genitori – messaggi di pace, di fraternità e di rispetto per la natura.
Questi messaggi si collegano splendidamente ai principi che le Nazioni Unite hanno fissato all’interno dei 17 Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile, capisaldi dell’Agenda 2030 di Sviluppo Sostenibile.
Trasmettere l’importanza di questa strategia globale, redatta e siglata da tutti i paesi del Mondo nel 2015 per tentare di garantirci un futuro migliore, e farlo attraverso le fiabe di Zavrel, ci è sembrato semplice e immediato, quasi naturale.
Along each trail, you’ll find signposts with information boards, which will help you learn more about the fairy tale associated with each one. By scanning the QR code, you can take part in some simple quizzes that will give you further insight into whether humanity is truly meeting these Sustainable Development Goals. Enjoy your walk!
The route starts in the square in Sarmede and leads to Borgo Val, accompanied by Stepan Zavrel’s fairy tale entitled “The Rediscovered Sun”, a wonderful story that connects us to the values of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. The fairy tale has been reinterpreted in line with the values of the Sustainable Development Goal by illustrator Elodie Brondoni, whose illustrations are displayed on the information panels along the route.
In about an hour’s walk, you can enjoy the splendid views this area has to offer, whilst the signposts along the route will give you the chance to learn more about the fairy tale and answer quizzes on the related Sustainable Development Goal.
Once you reach Borgo Val, you can either head back down the same route, or follow the provincial road towards Rugolo until you reach Via Borgo Chiari; walking down this road will take you comfortably back to the square in Sarmede (about an hour).
The route starts at the new Documentation Centre for Children’s Illustration (formerly the Giovanna Faè di Montaner primary school) and follows a circular path that will bring you back to the starting point, accompanied by Stepan Zavrel’s fairy tale entitled “The Last Tree”, a story that reminds us of the importance of a healthy relationship with nature, linked to the values of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 15, namely “Protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems”. The story has been reinterpreted in line with the values of the Sustainable Development Goal by illustrator Michela Gasparini, whose illustrations are displayed on the relevant information panels.
In around 50 minutes’ walk, you can enjoy a splendid view of the village of Montaner and immerse yourself in woods of centuries-old chestnut trees, whilst the signposts along the route will give you the chance to learn more about the fairy tale and answer quizzes on the related Sustainable Development Goal.
The route forms a loop, so it will take you straight back to the starting point.
The walk starts from the car park in Borgo Val and takes about an hour to reach the little church of Sant’Antonio, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view over the Treviso plain, all the way to Venice and the sea. The trail is dedicated to Stepan Zavrel’s fairy tale entitled ‘The Children’s Bridge’, a very contemporary story that warns of the damage that hatred and misunderstanding can cause, which ties in well with the values of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 16, namely ‘Peace, justice and strong institutions’. The story has been reinterpreted in line with the values of the Sustainable Development Goal by illustrator Michela Gasparini, whose illustrations are featured on the information panels.
The signposts along the route will give you the chance to learn more about the fairy tale and answer quizzes on the related Sustainable Development Goal.
Once you reach the little church, you can descend for about 30 minutes along the path that starts in front of the panoramic terrace (challenging), or you can follow the road that begins at the back of the little church and walk down to Borgo Val in about an hour.
The route starts from the square in Sarmede, heading towards Villa di Villa, and leads to the village of Rugolo, accompanied by Stepan Zavrel’s fairy tale entitled “The Rain of Stars”, a story that connects us to the values of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal No. 1: “End poverty in all its forms everywhere”. The story has been reinterpreted in line with the values of the Sustainable Development Goals by the illustrator Corinne Zanette, whose illustrations are displayed on the information panels along the route.
In about 1 hour and 15 minutes’ walk, you can follow an ancient village path through meadows and enchanted woods, whilst the signposts along the route will give you the chance to learn more about the fairy tale and answer quizzes on the related Sustainable Development Goal.
Once you reach Rugolo, you can head back down the same route, or you can follow the provincial road towards Sarmede until you come to Via Cal Dei Morti on the left, near a bend; this will take you back to Sarmede in under 40 minutes.
