Democratic innovationUrban commons and municipalismFestivalNational
Annual festival promoted by ActionAid Italia and Cittadinanzattiva, held in Bologna since 2020 after four editions in L'Aquila (2016 to 2019). It gathers civic organisations, public bodies and activists in debates, workshops and presentations on participation, rights and decision spaces. It has been the main civil society event on participatory democracy in Italy, heavily reliant on two large NGOs and institutional patronage. There was no September edition in 2026, and by late October no next edition had been announced.
