Here is the program of the last stage of our journey in the MEET project. We will find ourselves in northern Italy in the municipality of Valsamoggia, near Bologna. It will be the occasion for a last practical exploration of some of the methodologies we talked about in previous meetings and also the right time to sum up at the end of this period of work together.
This area, which is part of the Metropolitan City of Bologna, has been the cradle of the Transition Towns Movement in Italy since 2008 and has therefore seen many experiments involving citizens and institutions. It will be an opportunity to tell some interesting experiences, talk about successes and failures, try some innovative social technology.
