VISION & MISSION

Cultural Infrastructure

Culture and cultural heritage include tangible assets (manufacts, art objects, monuments, and so) and intangible assets (cultural identities, memories, tradition, narratives, and so). Tangible and intangible cultural assets together constitute the cultural infrastructure.

Identity and Cohesion

The cultural infrastructure ensures community identity, cohesion and resilience. Threatening the cultural infrastructure means threatening the very existence of a community.

Raising Ethical Awareness

NORIA aims to raise ethical awareness among  scholars, citizens, and policy makers that in the digital, global, society , culture has become the critical infrastructure which preserves and transmits the value system of each community.
 

NORIA is member of the Friulian Philological Society   and of  the Italian Society for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
