Social Cohesion Storytelling: a map of sustainable and “cohesive” projects

Every day hundreds of people work at the “production” of social cohesion through the engagement with migrants, the elderly, children, families. What numbers and statistics do not tell are stories, everyday gestures, minimal choices that build relationships, deal with problems and develop solutions. The Social Cohesion Days are also a showcase of stories of which several have been collected:  from North to South Italy, from the large cooperative reality to the small association of volunteers, from those who look at traditions and those who invest on innovation. We will reason on those aspects starting from the stories to find connections and investigate the complex fabric of the Italian social cohesion.
