An Open-Air Green Lab fostering culture and participation in sustainability.
La Summer School di Capranica Prenestina, in programma la prima settimana di settembre, riunisce pubblico, privato, istituzioni scientifiche, società civile organizzata e non organizzata secondo il modello della quintuple helix con l’obiettivo è rafforzare i vettori della sostenibilità — cultura, coerenza e partecipazione — promuovendo la reforestazione, la responsabilità intergenerazionale e la valorizzazione delle filiere locali, diffondendo la cultura dei commons.
La Summer School di Capranica Prenestina nasce per rafforzare il legame tra comunità, istituzioni e territorio attraverso un percorso intensivo di quattro giorni dedicato alla sostenibilità, ai beni comuni e alla valorizzazione delle risorse locali, ponendo l'accento sulla responsabilità intergenerazionale.
L’iniziativa coinvolge attori del settore pubblico, privato, istituzioni della conoscenza, associazioni e cittadini secondo il modello della quintuple helix, creando un ecosistema collaborativo capace di generare innovazione sociale e ambientale.
Il programma affronta temi cruciali per il futuro del territorio: dalla tutela delle foreste e il progetto di riforestazione, alla sostenibilità delle attività agricole, fino allo sviluppo di una filiera locale più equa e resiliente. Attraverso conferenze, workshop, attività nella natura e momenti di dialogo diretto tra produttori, esperti e cittadini, i partecipanti avranno l’opportunità di esplorare la complessità degli ecosistemi locali e di comprendere le sfide della transizione ecologica.
Una delle quattro giornate è dedicata ai laboratori di co-governance, momento di collaborazione tra studenti, giovani e stakeholder locali per progettare soluzioni concrete riguardanti agricoltura, mobilità e commercializzazione dei prodotti.
È prevista inoltre una visita in loco per osservare da vicino il patrimonio naturale, per toccare con mano l'intervento di forestazione urbana già realizzato e per verificare potenziali luoghi d’intervento.
Pensata per studenti e nuove generazioni, la Summer School intende promuovere una cultura della sostenibilità basata su partecipazione, responsabilità e cura dei beni comuni, contribuendo attivamente a costruire una visione condivisa per il futuro di Capranica Prenestina.
