On the next 11th and 12th of October LabGov will participate in the event organized by the Renzo Piano’s G124 working group.
Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th will be presented in Rome the initiatives for the regeneration and temporary use of the area placed under the Viaduct of the Presidents, in the Nuovo Salario quarter of Rome. This viaduct, which extends from the periphery of the Capital, was built some decades ago for a urban railway that has never been terminated and is nowadays in decay. The project is part of the activities of G124, a working group supported by Renzo Piano, the famous Italian architect and Italian senator since 2013, is coordinated by Arch. Massimo Alvisi and aims at redesigning the urban peripheries and the city of the future. The project managers of the initiatives are two young and talented architects Eloisa Susanna and Francesco Lorenzi. The two day initiatives will be dedicated to the presentation of the project to the neighborhood, slightly before the comprehensive presentation that is currently scheduled for the end of November at the Italian Parliament.
Saturday the Serpentara Station will be reactivated and the community will finally be able to enjoy an ecological space with grass and childrens’ playground. the social lunch -called “Public spaces as a commons” – will be an important moment for all the citizens, who can freely access the facility. The project is realized in collaboration with Greenapsi Associazione Viadotto dei Presidenti, Associazione Interazioni Urbane and the local community. Nonetheless without the collaboration of the special partner “Roma Capitale” administration, it wouldn’t be possible to organize the event. Thus it is crucial to recognize the importance of the collaboration that was set among the different actors and partners.
LabGov will be present during the activities for supporting the participatory design of the space. The organized workshop will be starting at 3:30 pm till 5:30 pm and it will consist in a speech of Christian Iaione, coordinator of LabGov and professor of Public Law, that will illustrate how is it possible to realize a collaborative governance of a public space; Finally there will be time for a co-design session , namely “Under the Viaduct” , for involving the community in the design thinking activity aimed at redefining the future of this space.

Sono aperte le iscrizioni per la nuova edizione di LabGov, che quest’anno sarà dedicato a “Ambiente, Agricoltura, Alimentazione: il territorio come bene comune”.
Il corso, nato nel 2013 dalla collaborazione tra Labsus – Laboratorio per la sussidiarietà e LUISS Guido Carli, vuole formare una nuova figura professionale, quella dei professionisti della governance: giovani donne e uomini capaci di pensare, progettare e realizzare nuove forme di collaborazione tra cittadini, imprese e istituzioni per promuovere le comunità intelligenti sia in ambito urbano che rurale.
Il Laboratorio è aperto agli studenti iscritti, per l’a.a. 2014/2015, al II o III anno di uno dei Corsi di Laurea Triennale del Dipartimento di Impresa e Management, Scienze Politiche, Economia e Finanza o al IV o V anno del Corso di Laurea in Giurisprudenza, della LUISS Guido Carli di Roma. Per la partecipazione al Laboratorio vengono riconosciuti 4 CFU per Altre Attività.
LabGov è un percorso di educazione non formale (del tipo in house clinic) pensato per innovatori sociali, imprenditori di futuro, agenti di cambiamento e giuristi creativi. Il campo di sperimentazione è quello dei beni comuni. LabGov trova la propria ragion d’essere nell’affermazione e nello sviluppo di una nuova, potente classe sociale, la “classe creativa” (i.e. cittadini attivi, startuppers, creativi, makers, sharers, prosumers, rural innovators, digital stars, ecc.). Gli studenti che parteciperanno al laboratorio avranno la possibilità di entrare in contatto con la classe creativa e avranno come responsabilità primaria quella di costruire o sviluppare progetti che dovranno prender vita, contribuendo concretamente all’implementazione dell’innovazione sociale, economica, istituzionale e giuridica che la classe creativa richiede in aree o settori dove l’innovazione non è ancora arrivata o accelerare il potenziale innovativo di esperimenti di innovazione preesistenti.
Nell’a.a. 2014-2015 oggetto di analisi e sperimentazione sarà la green governance intesa come tecnologia sociale, economica, istituzionale e giuridica applicata ai beni ambientali e paesistici, al territorio, agli stili di vita. Questi beni e la loro tutela o cura verranno riletti alla luce dei principi e delle tecniche tipiche della governance dei beni comuni, al fine di giungere alla costruzione di formule collaborative per la cura e rigenerazione di risorse fondamentali per il benessere individuale e collettivo, come l’ambiente, il paesaggio, il cibo che possono essere fonte di nutrimento, sostentamento, sviluppo, cultura, progresso. Lo scopo ultimo del LabGov sarà quello di riflettere, elaborare e applicare una strategia di governance idonea a configurare il “territorio come bene comune”.
Per partecipare è possibile consultare il bando e il programma qui.
