The school of neighbourhoods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preserving memories while taking care of the elderly, engaging foreign communities through the art of baking in a public oven, innovating with new forms of cultural production, distribution and fruition, creating manufacturing labs that bridge old and future skills. What if supporting local regeneration means providing citizens with the capabilities and tools to transform such innovative ideas into prototypes and actions?<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Empowering citizens, fostering social innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa Scuola dei Quartieri\u201d (\u201cThe School of the Neighbourhoods\u201d) is a Milan based 4-year program (2018-22) promoted by the Municipality to stimulate and enable social innovation practices in disadvantaged areas of the city. Rather than being a conventional incubation program, it intends to empower citizens to set and run lighter, yet impacting, initiatives, to bring quality change into the neighbourhoods. Within the current pandemic situation,\u00a0La Scuola deiQuartieri<\/em> becomes a relevant initiative to support, guide and foster projects that could match the needs related with the post-emergency conditions of the city, such as new models of aggregation, cultural production, food-related services and alternative forms of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A process of scouting and training\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a continuous and diffused action of connecting civil society\u2019s stakeholders,\u00a0La Scuola dei Quartieri\u00a0<\/em>aims at building generative relations and organising purposeful encounters in order to scout and guide the emergence of ideas from neighbourhoods. By experimenting with online and offline formats,\u00a0La Scuola dei Quartieri<\/em>delivers a diversified set of light and advanced training activities targeting a broader audience, including a group of inventors selected in specific public calls.\u00a0\u00a0The didactic contribution provided by Polimi DESIS Lab in co-design becomes relevant in a process where community engagement for prototyping is key.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Scuola dei Quartieri<\/em>, in its strategy of supporting social innovation, envisions a more pro-active and participatory society, in which the contribution of citizens and their tacit competence of designing solutions is tightly connected with a broader supportive and engaged community of actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
