The "VIVENCIAS III" competition is the first initiative launched after the signing of the collaboration agreement between the MARQ and the ASAUTE Cultural Association's Senior Citizen Classrooms. Fundamentally, the aim is to contribute to the cultural and social growth of the elderly; to encourage solidarity and intergenerational dialogue and to promote social integration and the appreciation of experience.
This competition consists, on the one hand, in the presentation of short stories related to the experiences, memory and memories of the Province of Alicante: old professions, education, customs, daily life, fashion, etc. And, on the other hand, drawing and painting works whose theme can be related to the MARQ or its sites: the façade of the MARQ, the Tossal de Manises (the Roman city of Lucentum), the Illeta dels Banyets in Campello, the prehistoric site of El Plá de Petracos in Castell de Castells, La Torre de Almudaina or La Cava Gran de Agres. Participants must be students of ASAUTE, as stated in the rules.
