Contemporary Commoning Practices in the Alps: Co-Creating Spaces for Imagination and Action

In this text I share some key working principles and community projects that under-pin how I contribute to the collective regenerative work underway in the Italian Lagarina valley.

I introduce the working principles of “commons” and “community economies” that permeate my work, subsequently explaining how these principles manifest themselves as theory-practice relays (aka practical projects in a close and creative conversation with theory) within (and via) the community academy La Foresta2—a physical space and a collective that I co-founded.
