A. Marcati in Via Rugantino 88. In...

The project is part of a wider one that is Co-Roma.it (http://co-roma.it/?page_id=2988) and consists in the launch of a capacity building path that aims to implement new synergies and provide practical tools to those already working in the field of collaboration for sustainable development in Rome. The aim of the capacity building path is to discover and train new "neighborhood cooperators" who can contribute to the implementation of projects already active in the area, or to generate new forms of urban cooperativism.

An open training track to provide the community with theoretical and practical skills that foster the autonomous development of civic entrepreuneurship within the community so as to valorise the high cultural and touristic richness of the Alessandrino, Centocelle and Torre Spaccata districts.
