Organized by the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia, this Friday the Historical Exhibition “Documents of Urquiza: Legacy and Memory in Concordia” was held, which took place in the Assembly Hall of the Secondary and Higher School No. 1 “Cesáreo B. de Quirós”.
Present were the Undersecretary of Education Carlos Gatto; the president of the “Justo José de Urquiza” Association Bernardo Salduna; the Departmental Director of Schools Julio Barrios and councilwomen Eliana Lagraña and Silvina Ovelar.
In this regard, Gatto detailed that “we organized this within the framework of the Identity Program that we have from the Municipality of Concordia, which is an initiative that our mayor has promoted since the beginning of the administration to revalue all these people who have been part of our history”.
In this case, he said that “a joint effort was presented that we are doing with the Teachers' Training Institute, through the Social Communication degree program, where the students are the ones who produce different educational videos about different personalities who have passed through our city”.
Regarding the importance of the date, the Undersecretary of Education stated that “we were presenting the video about Justo José de Urquiza, taking into account that it is a very special day because another anniversary of his birth is being celebrated, and we also took the opportunity to complement it with an exhibition of different historical documents that show Urquiza's time in the city”.
Gatto pointed out that in the exhibition one can observe “documents, ballots, meetings, and birthday celebrations that Urquiza had”. A large part of what was exhibited was rescued “from the Municipal Archive”, he added.
HISTORY AND EDUCATION
When taking the floor, Professor Barrios highlighted the importance of the initiative, since “history refers us to sources, and the collaboration of the Education area is welcome to be able to access written sources, which allow you as students to interpret them, analyze them, and from there generate your own conceptualization”.
The Departmental Director of Schools stressed that “this space for reflection on Urquiza is about giving life to Urquiza and from there seeing how we continue analyzing through his legacies”. In that sense, he valued that the event has to do with “generating new initiatives and new ways of learning in today's adolescents and students”.
It is worth remembering that the opening talk was declared of educational interest by the Departmental Directorate of Schools of Concordia (Provision No. 78).
MAXIMUM EXPONENT OF ENTRE RÍOS IDENTITY
For his part, Dr. Salduna, recently declared Illustrious Citizen by the Deliberative Council, began his dissertation by pointing out the importance of “raising the figure of whom I consider the maximum exponent of Entre Ríos identity and who has been somewhat left aside”.
“Sometimes, when one travels through different provinces of Argentina and arrives, for example, in Salta, one finds oneself in the land of Martín Miguel de Güemes, who is someone deeply rooted in the history of the place; in that same way, I would like the personality of Justo José de Urquiza to be considered,” he expressed.
Salduna's first presentation then revolved around Urquiza's imprint as a “forger of modern Argentina”.
