The Cittadellarte-Pistoletto Foundation commits to bring together socially engaged art practitioners, social entrepreneurs, activists, scientists, journalists, representatives of public institutions, teachers, and other agents of change coming from all possible backgrounds in a three days open technology style event aimed at initiating a year-long joint-workshop locally grounded and enacted by forum participants and other organizations. The Initiative was launched in Cuba in 2015, with a follow-up in Milan in 2016.
The main objective of Rebirth fora and workshops is bringing together the many already existing good practices and achieve higher levels of common organisation, in a word, realising demopraxy (democratic praxis). The first outcome is the enhancement and reinforcement of existing projects. Second and more far-reaching is generating unprecedented cooperation’s and even new projects. Territorial intelligence is yet to be achieved by our communities and we need tools and instruments to allow this to grow.
The commitment falls under focus area 9 of the Batumi Initiative to promote public participation and education for sustainable development.
Implementing partners will include organisations of the United Nations, local ministries and governments.
The commitment is relevant to SDGs 4, 8, 9, 13, 16, and 17.
