Reportage, Le Giornate di Bertinoro
2013-2019



There are spaces that become places. Bertinoro is a little town on the hilltop of the Romagna area historically renowned for its hospitality. Since 2001, in early October, it is the annual hangout of the leading personalities of social and civil economy coming from all over Italy. Le Giornate di Bertinoro per l’Economia Civile (literally “The Bertinoro Days for Civil Economy”) is a laboratory to deepen the dialogue on the role and activities of social economy organisations, as well as the way to discuss the different point of view, trends and perspectives.
The meeting has been promoted by Aiccon, a research center supported by the University of Bologna, the cooperative movement and many public and private organizations operating in the social economy. The association aims to encourage, support and organize activities to promote the culture of solidarity, with a focus on ideals, attitudes and activities of cooperatives and non profit organizations.
