Creating a social network by collective change management
The back-up and evaluation action, presently underway, stems from the will of several important non-profit associations from the Bergamo province (Consorzio SolCo Città Aperta, Fondazione Casa Amica, Opera Diocesana Patronato San Vincenzo, Nuovo Albergo Popolare, Caritas Diocesana) and from the Municipality of Bergamo to submit a “social cohesion” project to Fondazione Cariplo, devoted to the degraded and socially impoverished Malpensata area.
KCity drew up a project proposal inspired by the US model of comprehensive community development, from the very beginning involving the local bodies (parish, neighborhood committee, shopkeepers association, etc.).
