LED2LEAP 2020 - Bologna Team 3
>>>back to working groups overview
Landscape Democracy Rationale
- This community is a challenge for the metropolitan city of Bologna, which has been buried behind little publicity or information.
Starting from the common principle that it is based on pillars:
- man
- health
- creativity
The cooperative has developed trying to connect abandoned spaces, in disuse and degradation of the urban periphery.
Location and scope
Phase A: Mapping your Community
Welcome to your community and its landscape
- Eta Beta is a non-profit cooperative formed by President Juan Crous and 14 other members
to bring together all those people who have little voice in society in a community in the outskirts of Bologna.
Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community
- The main actors of the community are groups of students, volunteers and families who cooperate in various initiatives.
These include several sensitive categories, which however do not interact with each other and exclude new points of view.
Relationships between your actors and groups
- The community involves several groups for different activities:
- cooperation to create objects that are sold inside the company's workshops
- reuse of abandoned spaces through community work
- sale and involvement of the neighborhood through events
- contribute to feeling good, both physically and within society
Summary of your learnings from the transnational discussion panel on April 22
Since the presentation of phase A we have discovered new methods of thinking and development of international analyzes and ideas.
- From the Dublin team we noticed that their method of analysis is very much geared towards the sustainability of the intervention.
- From the Freising groups, on the other hand, we investigated new methods of graphing and analyzing the territory.
We were surprised by the diversification of representation.

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment
The Scene in your Story of Analysis
- Our story begins with Arianna in the mitology, who tends her yarn to get Theseus out of the maze once he has killed the minotaur. With this reflection, we bring with us a guiding YARN into the history of the EtaBeta cooperative, which for twenty-seven years has been aiming at all those people who cannot get out of the maze.
- Summing up, the stages of the cooperative moved from putting ideas in the center, to putting people themselves at the center.
The cooperative was born as an association of artists who participated independently and with private titles in the rehabilitation of people with social, mental and physical problems through various forms of art as music, painting, etc.
In 1993 synthetic drugs became a big problem in the city of Bologna and so the following physical and social problems related to their use, those situations marked the advance of a problem never faced before: AIDS and overdose, problems that didn’t see a real resolution until after the appearance of the first treatments in 2006.
In 1996, therefore, the OPEN SCHOOL project started, always centered on the development of personal art, the association moved from the city center toa rural area looking that people could reconcile with theirselves and increase their sensitivity to living in a healthy system.
This type of association, however, did not allow to be able to reintegrate people through work, so they moved to a type B non-profit cooperative (at the legislative level) to be able to hire these people in difficulty and give them a concrete development in their new life as a symbol of social rebirth.
