Namasté.
Through this article, here on Medium, I want to share a project
(a worldwide project) that slowly I’m working and building.
A project still under construction, for now, but I hope so much that can fully see the light and work in the best way within the next five years, starting already from this last phase of 2015. The reason why this project will not be operating at 100 % before the next 5 years, it is due in particular to higher education that will begin to take the second half of September and that they will not hinder the project indeed, will be closely linked.

What is the aim of the project?

This project aims to collect and preserve the largest number of stories, thoughts and testimonies of each person in the World (we hope), with a strong focus especially in everything that is handed down from generation to generation orally .

As will happen this?

This goal will only be achieved through a series of journeys in the World, because without them the project would not exist. But beware: it is likely that there will be times when will not be possible trips of any kind. Therefore they will design replacement systems.

Regarding privacy?

Being a project still under development, it is not possible to give precise information about when privacy.
Surely, however, any information regarding his biography will not be made public in any way. Absolutely not part of the project to divulge private information.

This project has a name?

For the moment is called #progettocultura (Culture Project). Unfortunately not yet have an official name with which to make their way and be recognized better. But it may not be long to finally get one.

Why Medium as the main platform?

The choice of this site as the main platform of the project was swift, as I have no doubt that to Medium is a platform very simple to use, and ordered at the same time with a lot of hidden potential. Moreover, the choice was made on the basis of another objective, which is to give Italian Medium increasingly important with regard to the creation of new ideas and content.

Other platforms will be used in addition to Medium?

In the future we will use other communication platforms as well as Medium, but with different and specific functions:

- Facebook and Twitter for the sharing of the work;
- Youtube: to make, of course, multimedia works;
- Instagram can be used in the future to share with interested users of the photos related to the trips that will be made;

For the time we will not be used other types of social networks as well as those just mentioned.

How many people will participate in this project?

This is a project in which each of you can take part, even while sitting comfortably in their own homes.
Of course it will form a team that will be around for the World to speak with many people (one of which could be you); but being still in its infancy, it is early to talk about a team already formed and ready.

The service will cost?

Absolutely no. It is not in the plans of the project, become a paid service, although in the future could be held Patreon to receive a financial support. But still it’s nothing certain

Broadly speaking this is (temporarily) #progettocultura.
In the coming months will be released new information.

See you soon, David.
