RETHINKABLE

What is RE THINKABLE?

RE THINKABLE is designed to be a new framework in which to discuss and discuss all and all together in order to give life to new ideas that can transform the socio-economic model in which we are inserted, and which has been showing its limits for some time.

It will be a space for meeting and discussion, both to be able to meet experiences that have already moved towards a different socio-economic model and to imagine and plan new paths and initiatives in a frontier context!

Different themes will be presented: from solidarity economy to social innovation, passing through internal areas and shared administration, up to the contribution that art and the humanities offer for a critique and a new vision of the current systemic crisis scenarios. and ecological. There will be conferences and workshops, including workshops for the little ones and moments of tasting the products of the ethical supply chains of the area!

The Festival promotes transformative economies in their various forms, taking up the 4 axes proposed by the first "World Social Forum of Transformative Economies" held in Barcelona in 2020, namely:

the social and solidarity economy ;
the Common Goods (natural, urban, digital, knowledge);
the agro-ecological movement and food sovereignty;
feminist economies and gender perspectives;

In addition :

the positive and virtuous role that local and territorial communities have and can have within social, economic and environmental transformation processes;
the agenda and themes proposed by the Degrowth movement a
movements that fight against the causes of climate change.

ProDES FVG

ProDES FVG "Promotion of the district communities of solidarity economy of Friuli Venezia Giulia" is a social promotion association established in 2016 as the operational arm of the "Forum of Common Goods and Solidarity Economy of the FVG", a coalition of over 40 entities that, after a process started in 2012, made possible the birth and promulgation of the regional law of 23 March 2017, n.4 "Rules for the enhancement and promotion of the solidarity economy".

Among the aims of the Association there is that of

"Promoting the culture of conviviality in social and economic relations and environmental protection" and "the promotion of the establishment of district communities of solidarity economy and district and supra-district production chains to support local production and employment". To contribute to these purposes, ProDES FVG has carried out public conferences, training and consultancy activities, project development, production and dissemination of information material, also through cooperation with public and private institutions.

Among the main cultural activities promoted and organized by ProDES FVG there is the organization of the events "Day of Solidarity Economy of the FVG" organized in 2018 in Udine and in 2019 in Tolmezzo, both financed by the funds announced by law n.4 of 23 March 2017. In 2020, the Day was held online as part of the dissemination and training project "Seeds of Justice" co-promoted by a network of SBs of the regional territory.

From 2017 to 2021 it organized and co-organized dozens of popular events such as conferences, seminars, meetings, guided tours and theatrical performances to raise awareness among citizens on urgent issues such as the relationship with the environment, common goods, participatory democracy, experiences of solidarity / social economy and the virtuous role of communities on a local, national and international level.
