Future Roots

BPER and Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, through their support for Future Roots, reaffirm their commitment to the territories and local communities, recognizing inland and mountain areas as a heritage of relationships, skills and identities to be valued.

The project stems from the desire to promote sustainable development paths capable of bringing culture, economy and social cohesion into dialogue, with the aim of (re)generating opportunities and new prospects.

Three distinct phases are planned:

• a research and investigation effort led by a distinguished, interdisciplinary scientific committee that brought together: Gabriele Pasqui, Andrea Membretti, Gabriela Jacomella and Silvia Di Passio
• working groups during which - thanks to the involvement and discussion among institutions, academics, representatives of the third sector and the BPER branch managers of the cities involved - the aim is to contribute to the development of territorial growth paths in three different areas: Culture in Chiavenna, Economy in Morbegno, Tourism in Bormio
• production of a final project volume that collects the main findings of the research with the aim of making the knowledge produced transferable.

At the end of each day of work and discussion, a public programme of three evening events open to the entire community will be offered:

• Chiavenna: 20 May at 6.30 pm - Teatro della Società Democratica Operaia Culture that creates. How can the identity of places be relaunched?
• Morbegno: 4 June at 6.30 pm - Auditorium Ex Convento di S. Antonio Territories that (do not) matter. How can local economies be reactivated?
• Bormio: 17 June at 6.30 pm - Bormio Terme/ Conference Centre The tourism of tomorrow. What possible alternatives?
