Generative Communities for Rome
As part of the Periferiacapitale program, the Charlemagne Foundation organized the Generative Communities seminar for Rome to share the experiences of community foundations in Italy and around the world.
The meeting focused on different issues that may represent both a challenge and an opportunity for enriching the action of the grassroot organisations in Rome
Community processes and social generativity may represent a practical perspective for those associations that committ themeselves in the Roman outskirts, every day
International guest Jenny Hodgson, director of the Global Fund for community foundations, who introduced the most significant experiences that the Global Fund supports at international level, sharing some good practices and the challenges encountered. An interesting point of view to open the city of Rome to a vision beyond the natural national vocation.
