Landscape Democracy Rationale

  • This context is relevant for the landscape democracy perspectives, in fact the fundamental concepts at the basis of this social cooperative ONLUS (EtaBeta) are the social integration, equality and environmental sustainability. These values belong to the community, which has created a socially useful space within empty space

Mapping

  • EtaBeta is a company that works with public and private entities in order to promote appropriate opportunities for socialization and social inclusion. The projects and programmes are aimed mainly at people in situations of fragility and social marginality. The community offers to listen to the needs of people and public bodies by finding together with them initiatives and solutions to identify socio-rehabilitation paths of start-up work.


Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community

  • The principal stakeholders are municipal and private asociations like Azienda USL di Bologna, Caritas, Confederazioni Sindacali Cgil, Cisl, Uil, Unindustria Bologna, CNA Bologna, Legacoop Bologna, Gestori e ospiti SPRAR e CAS Bologna, Arcidiocesi di BolognaComunità ebraica di Bologna, Coordinamento islamico di Bologna, UNHCR, Fondazione Innovazione Urbana. The components of the community are the operators, children, the elderly, drugs addicts, prisoners, and the socially less visible people.

Relationships between your actors and groups

  • The person protagonist of the rehabilitative social path is the bearer of a wealth of values from an emotional and economic cultural point of view. EtaBeta is responsible for bringing out these values, highlighting them in order to enable social and work integration.

  • Relationships between the groups

Summary of your learnings from the transnational discussion panel on April 22

On April 22 you will present the PPT version of this first assignment to other seminar groups working in other geographical community contexts. Please give here a short summary of your learnings during this presentation, for example:

  • Other analytical approaches
  • Other representation styles
  • Other value schemes: any surprises?
  • Constructive comments we received on our presentation

Theory reflection

  • The seminar lessons were useful in analyzing this phase. Furthermore, direct knowledge of EtaBeta's values, through a meeting with the founder, allowed us to understand the structure and objectives of the association

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment

The Scene in your Story of Analysis

  • The challenge of landscape democracy created by Eta Beta is the rehabilitation and reintegration process for drug addicts and people with social problems who participate in the activities proposed by the cooperative.


The Actors in your Story of Analysis

  • The characters involved in the cooperative are the protagonists, the 3 basic pillars around which "the individual" operates are: Health, community and creativity. The path is composed of moments of sharing and collaboration in which members compare each other. In fact, the physical spaces within which these activities are carried out are not rigid but flexible and free of obstacles for a continuous debate and exchange of ideas; at the same time the individual participant is well aware of his specific role and his position within the cooperative. As a result of simple collaboration, after a few years participants can be hired and can become working members of the community itself.

The Story of Analysis

  • In 2006 the association became a non-profit social cooperative of the mixed type A B, born what we know today as EtaBeta: these cooperatives deal both with services to people (A) (retirement homes, social assistance ...) and offer jobs for disadvantaged people (B). The cooperative now collaborates with the municipality of Bologna and other national and non-national associations.The people who take part in the rehabilitation and reintegration process participate in the activities proposed by the cooperative. The proposed activities are agricultural, manufacturing, culinary and culinary, and the cooperative is still developing today reinventing itself to every need and adding new programs and activities. The cooperative produces furniture and deals with glass processing. Chandeliers and dishes are just examples of products that today are sold all over the world, both to individuals and to renowned restaurants and chefs. The flexibility of this cooperative, which is sensitive to the different needs of society as they change over time, has meant that EtaBeta was not passively and negatively affected by the covid crisis, on the contrary, it has managed to create jobs

Reflection on our story

  • Our community is a community that must be analyzed and understood both from the human point of view of the relationship between the actors that make it up, and from the abstract metaphysical point of view, in a perspective of transformation with time and with the events that day by day they become part of it and characterize it. EtaBeta is continuously developing, on the move, every day is a challenge to overcome. FEEL GOOD is the mood to follow and living it through Juan is essential to make it better.

Phase C: Collaborative Visioning and Goal Setting

From our point of view

  • Speaking with current etabeta actors, emerged the need to create new challenges for the future and new paradigms to follow. The aim is to create opportunities and improve the comparison between the users of the activities proposed by the cooperative. The cooperative is currently confined to itself and is not well known. The main goal is to create heterogeneity within the etabeta activities in order to generate opportnity within the activity itself.

The Actors

  • the aim of etabeta is to intervene in the recovery and rehabilitation of people with hendicap and drug addicts, the prerogative is to offer them the possibility of socialization with people from other backgrounds.The social challenge to which we wish to aspire is not to create new initiatives but to take the activities of the cooperative out outside the physical space of the two main offices.

Our objectives over the next 3 years.

  • our objectives focus on increasing the number of actors in order to generate positive confrontation for individual growth and a greater diversification of activities in order to generate interest and attract new actors and look for new physical and metaphysical places.
  • Our strategy can be divided into two main components:a strategic development that is carried out through advertising activities during the T day, collaboration with new cooperatives. And addiction prevention activities.
  • We have drawn up a time and space programme in order to achieve our objectives over the next 3 years.During the first year etabeta will have to take care of organising the new activities, it will be the most intense year as close links will be formed with public operators. Throughout the second year it will be possible to begin to measure the success of the programs carried out, it will be possible to vary the activities by trying to follow the main interests of those involved. Advertising activities will also continue through social media.In the third year decisions taken and the new activities will start to thicken etabeta's social network. During this period, the activities arising from the comparison of the participants will grow.

The success indicators

  • The success indicators will be identified by the degree of satisfaction of those involved, by the amount of time that people spend in the activities, by the number of public actors involved, by the involvement and by the heterogeneity. Should the programme be successful, it will be able to deal with trade fairs and festivals, events that are very much appreciated in the area. Under these circumstances etabeta will be able to exhibit its own handicraft products.

Phase D: Collaborative Design, Transformation and Planning

Prototyping Action

The social challenge we want to strive for, as already discussed in the previous phase, is not to create new initiatives but to bring the activities of the cooperative out of the physical spaces of the two main offices. To this end, we created a mobile stand for the T-DAY day, aimed at promoting the image of the cooperative outside the headquarters, in a context populated by potential future players. This initiative will be carried out by members of the communities, who will approach a new audience within a new context.

The Evolution

The members of the cooperative will have the task of engaging as many actors as possible and, at the same time, they will be involved in a new activity, which will allow them to interact outside the cooperative and get new stimuli from the society. In this mutual exchange of information, potential new actors will get the chance to get to know Eta-Beta and its initiatives

The Plan

Two major activities will be carried out at the stand:the sale of 0-km land products (smoothies and centrifuges).the promotion of the activities carried out on the premises. All the development of the project will be carried out by the cooperative, both for the logistics and for the concrete construction of the stand, using the laboratories that Eta Beta already has among its own activities.

The Realization

Our aim is to create a stand which can, during these days, involve passers-by making them aware of Eta-beta both from a social and practical point of view, showing them the activities that are held in the premises, creating on-site interactive workshops, working in collaboration with the Municipality of Bologna, the students of the Faculty of Agriculture and other stakeholders.

Reflect

The online lessons of Phase D were helpful to think about the logical elaboration process of our idea.They made us understand how this could be split into two types: a one-way one, with a direct start and finish, and a discontinuous one (with multiple points of reflection).The indicators of success are measured by time elapsed:  -short term  -long-term Short-term success indicators are those found at the end of an example day: number of people involved in the daily stand, income gained from the sale of products, etc...Long-term indicators can be found in the effective growth of the cooperative's social network and thus in the number of new steakholders interacting with Eta Beta.
