At spring outbreak the Collaboratory supports heritage walks and tours organised in cooperation with CooperACTiva and other local associations to promote and disseminate Alessandrino, Centocelle and Torre Spaccata districts' cultural heritage.

The title of the podcast defines the dramatic association between the concepts of pandemic and social and economic problems. The intent is to discuss the repercussions that covid-19 has had on the most disadvantaged segments of the population and how it has demonstrated the cracks in a society already affected by inequality. 

The first of the events linked to the Living Memory Exhibition PartecipARTe was a success! During the evening all the participants shared a moment of encounter to celebrate the inauguration of the art project by Claudia Romagnoli (in art Croma) and reflect on the meaning of the project. The work, which is now located on one of the facades of the Mercato di Torre Spaccata, can be enjoyed by everyone.

By co-governance, Co-Roma refers to a collaborative and democratic form of governance which relies on cooperativeness and co-ownership, which enables local citizens to actively participate in the collective use and valorisation of district heritage.  Collaborative models of governance have produced ideas such as the current development of electric bike tours,...
