At the initiative of the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia, between September 23 and 27, 2024, the city will have the honor of receiving a visit from a detachment of the General San Martín Horse Grenadier Regiment. During those days, an exact replica of San Martín's curved saber will be exhibited, a historical piece that accompanied the Liberator in his battles for independence.
This replica, created by the renowned Argentine silversmith Juan Carlos Pallarols, preserves even the smallest details, such as the original scratches, and will be exhibited along with a historical narrative and the screening of an educational video.
SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES
The exhibition will be aimed at students of all levels and modalities, as well as the general public, and will be held at different educational venues in the city to ensure the greatest possible participation. Interested institutions must register using the following form https://forms.gle/
It is important to note that transportation for the students will be the responsibility of each educational community.
September 23: Inaugural ceremony at Plaza 25 de Mayo, at 10:00 a.m., with the participation of the Band of the Tank Regiment No. 6 Blandengues.
Subsequently, visits by schools and the general public will take place.
September 24: Exhibition at Secondary School No. 1 "B. Quirós".
September 25: Exhibition at Secondary School No. 2 "Gral. Artigas" in La Bianca.
September 26: Exhibition at Primary School No. 34 "Esteban Echeverría".
September 27: Exhibition at Secondary School No. 35 "Cabo Sendros".
The activities will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Thursday and on Friday the 27th until 2:30 p.m., with a schedule organized so that educational institutions can participate in one-hour shifts.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH HISTORY
“The curved saber is not just a symbol of our struggles for independence,” highlighted the Undersecretary of Education, Prof. Carlos Gatto. “We are very proud to be able to bring this exhibition to Concordia and offer it to students and the community.”
San Martín's curved saber, which was acquired by the hero in London in 1811, is an austere piece, chosen for its simplicity, without expensive ornaments. The original was bequeathed to Juan Manuel de Rosas and, today, this replica allows new generations to get closer to the life and work of our Liberator in a unique way.
