The Municipality of Iglesias has approved by resolution the renewal of the agreement with the Scu.Di.Mi. Association, which manages the premises of the former Monteponi elementary school. The agreement will last three years and will allow the continuation of the project “Museo laboratorio: Andaus a Scola de Miniera”.
In addition to the agreement, the association will be granted the patronage of the Municipality and a funding of 3,000 euros for the whole of 2025.
The Monteponi elementary school, opened in the 1950s, was attended by many children of miners who worked in the mines near the building. After its closure, years later, the idea of transforming the abandoned structure into a museum was born, thanks to a group of school workers eager to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the place.
Thus, a widespread need has arisen to authentically valorize places, personal and collective experiences, and many stories that together constitute the memory of the community, still rich in testimonies today.
Inside the museum you can visit the classrooms, which have remained intact as they were in the years when the school was active. The SCU.DI.MI. Association also organizes various workshops and guided tours for all the schools in the area.
