OGR History | Travelling with Elvira. Tales of great repairs.
Original series of 8 podcasts signed OGR Torino
Thanks to the collaboration between OGR’s Education Department and a workshop labourer employed at the former Officine Grandi Riparazioni from 1971 to 1984, the “Travelling with Elvira” storytelling project was developed as part of the "com’era com’è" historical area development. Starting from the story of Elvira, a locomotive in need of repairs, 8 new podcasts uploaded on Spotify will retrace some of the most important moments in OGR’s history.
By launching the series “Travelling with Elvira”, OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni wishes to share with teachers of nursery and primary schools content and tools to get to know OGR and its tales of small and major repairs that, from 1895 to the present day have made the former workshops a centre of innovation and culture.
