Mission Statement of the Civic Museum of the Horse of Giara
The commitment
The commitment of the Civic Museum of the Giara Horse of Genoni is expressed in the investment of resources and energies in the search for opportunities and languages aimed at a dialogue with the sociality of its territory, presenting traditional testimonies in the complexity of their relations with the cultural universe and exposing the symbolic, ritual, linguistic and material characters inherent in the different human manifestations.
In this sense, the Museum identifies as a resource the potential of the civic community and as productivity the ability to organize an offer in terms of promoting targeted interventions in the field of sociality.
The Museum identifies the dimension of cultural restitution as the value of its operations. Restitution in terms of active participation in the culture and growth of the place where the Museum resides in order to position itself, true to its thematic and museum-like nature, as a hub of social interest stimulating reflections on the quality of life, a driving force behind initiatives aimed at education and dialogue on issues of identity, diversity and belonging.
The action
The Civic Museum of the Cavallino della Giara addresses all citizens indiscriminately in order to:
- Contribute to the development of the local community and their local area;
- participate, to the extent of its competence, in the events and projects of civil and cultural growth of its social reality;
- contribute to that reflection on the quality of life that arises from an awareness of the inescapable relationship between memory and cultural-historical identity;
- To contribute to the development of culture in general and reading, with special attention toward childhood;
The Museum also pays special attention to the values of social encounter, the recovery of a proper relationship between consumption, resource exploitation and manual skills, and knowledge of history as a guarantee for the realization of perspectives on the individual and collective future.
To achieve these goals, the museum considers:
- the “quality orientation” of its services and organization as an ethical, deontological and public accountability commitment;
- attention to the public gaze and participation as a determining aspect of planning and operation;
- user rights as an indispensable element of cultural and organizational action;
- facilitation of access to knowledge, communication and information as an expression of the value of the museum as a public quality service;
- respect for the environment and the dissemination of good environmental management practices.
