New Economy (Draft)
From the Apennines*, a wave to rethink local economies.
Education
We work with those who want to take action and build concrete alternatives to the current economic model. We offer learning pathways designed to tackle social and environmental challenges in the field, explore new development dynamics, strengthen skills, and turn ideas into action.
From immersive, place-based programs to summer labs, from empowerment initiatives to public events, we create learning spaces for those who believe change is possible and want to be part of it.
Business facilitation service
A service for those who have an idea to grow or a business to strengthen.
> Free, confidential, and personalised guidance;
> Practical tools to strengthen the skills and relationships essential for doing business.
This model has already brought new energy to over 300 rural communities worldwide. We are introducing it in Italy for the first time, to help businesses and territories regenerate.
Our Provocation:
Rethinking the Economy from the Margins
We believe that solutions to today’s economic, social, and environmental challenges can be found in marginalized territories, not in global centers of power.
We have written a Manifesto and a Position Paper to chart our course toward a new socio-economic paradigm, inspired by community-based practices and alternative theories.
