Love Walk 2012

August, 31st – September, 8th

An Artigiani dell’Amore project in collaboration with Punto a Capo Onlus

1.         The Love Walk

Love Walk 2012 aims to face separation, lack of sense of belonging to society, cultural superficiality and exploitation of nature, all issues concerning the relationship between mankind and land and between people and communities.

This attitude gives rise to phenomena highly degrading to humanity and environment: eradication, de-responsability, disintegration of social fabric, illegal construction, illegal waste disposal and indiscriminate exploitation of resources.
Underlying all this there is a specific development model, which provides a kind of relationship with nature and with individuals incompatible with the sustainability of life on the planet, from all points of view, from material to human one.
Love Walk is born with the intention to help finding and experience new ways of living, more careful and aware of the interdependence in the relationship between man and environment and between individuals within a single society.

1. The contextSince many years all Europe is experiencing an intense revitalization of the main pilgrimage routes. This is due both to a renewed interest in journey activities with all its benefits and to a greater attention to historical and cultural processes these pathways featured, training identity of the entire European community.
   This phenomenon has a very deep meaning, because the pilgrimage routes have been always and everywhere the original matrix the territory is organized around. They convey, through people flow, an invaluable wealth of information crucial to structuring of individual and collective identities.
   The Love Walk fits within this context and in the territory crossed by Via Francigena route, in its southern trunk, specifically between Rome and Terracina (LT). This segment, unlike the one north of Rome, in fact, is still little known, popular and valued, while being integral part of the road network with ancient and rich history, art and natural beauty.

1. General ObjectivesThe project has the following long term general aims:

   . Learning how to facilitate and improve relationship between people and with the land.

   . Rediscovery and appreciation of the southern trunk of Via Francigena

   . Promotion of sustainable and responsible forms of tourism linked to the southern trunk of     Via Francigena pilgrimages, through workshops, tours etc.

   . Interaction and aggregation between people through a significant event from cultural and         training point of view.

   . Stimulating awareness on following topics: the relationship between man and land, non-         violent communication between individuals, relationship with the land, with our own     culture, with the historical roots and ancestors, thus relationship among different           generations.
