  APS Casa dei Beni Comuni

  Jan 2013 - Jan 2021

  Founding Member

  We are a group of activists who fight for the conquest and defense of the common goods. We are communards, volunteers, precarious, students, retirees, social workers, district policy makers, media and eco-activists. We come from Belluno (Italy), a small mountain province surrounded by the Dolomites, UNESCO’s World Heritage Site. In July 2013, we started the recovery process of a former military base that the Municipality of Belluno assigned us with the duty to renovate the building at our own expense. The aim is to transform it into a self-managed and multi-purpose social lab, creating a place of self-production, art, culture and political participation through social cooperation.DOWNLOAD HERE OUR PROJECT: http://casadeibenicomuni.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/PROGETTO-CDBC-DEF.pdf Show less
