On the 10th of October, the participants of the meetings and workshop held in the Bolognina experimentation site of the CO-Bologna project, together with partners and facilitators are invited to take part to a meeting where the results of the work done since now will be presented, together with some possible future developments of the project.
The meeting will be held on Monday, October 10th, from 5 to 7 PM in the socio-cultural centre “Antonio Montanari” (Via di Saliceto 3/21, Bologna).
Bolognina’s main purpose is acting as a link between the different planning actors already existing, in order to increase their potential and to offer them new occasions to collaborate. The whole process is supported by Federcasa, which looks at it as an useful experimentation for the innovation of housing policies at a national level.

From October 7th to 9th Milan is hosting RENA – Festival delle Comunità del Cambiamento. This third edition of the Festival has the aim of building bridges between communities, individuals and organizations who work to rigenerate the urban, social and economic of the Country.
Organized in collaboration with BASE Milano and thanks to the sustain of Fondazione Cariplo, the Festival will try to answer some of those questions: which are the main challenges that Italy will have to face next years? What is our contribution in trying to face them? What do we have to do to exit the world of experimentation and begin to generate real changes?
LabGov will attend the Festival, with is co-founder Christian Iaione, on Sunday (October 9th): from 12 AM to 2 PM, a panel on “Innovation in urban governance and participative processes” will be held. Professor Iaione will be talking about participative governance experiences in Italy with other experts and members of local administrations from all over Italy: Matteo Lepore (deputy Mayor of Bologna), Nicola Masella from Naples, Fabrizio Barbiero from Turin, Gloria Cerliani from Piacenza, Daniele Terzariol from San Donà di Piave and Claudio Cavaresi (Avanzi). The panel will be moderate by Simone D’Antonio (ANCI).

An other important workshop in Centocelle, in the framework of the CO-Roma project, will be held on Wednesday, October 5th, in the hall of Rome’s V Municipio. The representatives of the various associations active on the territory will meet to discuss the creation of a cooperative of community that reunites all of them to manage together the redevelopment of the PAC (Archeological Park of Centocelle).
The workshop will be held only two days after a meeting (held on Monday, October 3rd) where the representatives of the associations counted themselves and started clarifying the priorities that have to be solved soon. The key focus of the path that we have undertaken together has not changed: the n.1 priority is to bring people back to the
park, and to let it become usable again. But in order to achieve this objective, there are two issues that have to be solved soon: ensuring both a safe environment and the restoration of the activities that revolve around the park.
The participants focused around the identification of a small, but complex, action to be developed in a quadrant of the park: an action that could both solve an existing problem and test them as a collaborating team. Once that the quadrant was identified, thanks to the facilitation of Paola Santoro, the team listed the stakeholders that have to be involved in the process and the activities that can be proposed to them.
