Explaining the evident: community building needs actions, not (only) words

The successful transfer of the good practice calls for socially innovative municipalities that start with small and concrete steps like conditioning and stimulation.

Images of scenes of despair, pain and disbelief flow in front of us and, at the same time, of great humanity and solidarity. What is emerging of all this is the ability of the human kind to respond resiliently to new shocks such as the one we are witnessing.
