Fare assieme — Collaborative Public Services

Inspired by the book Fare assieme by Ezio Manzini and Michele d'Alena (Egea, 2024), the seminar explores the theme of collaborative public services and their design methods, exploring strategies to promote alliances between active citizens and intermediate bodies such as trade unions, the third sector and parties.

The event is divided into two thematic panels and a final round table where we will discuss:

01. Activating proximity networks
Focus on the difficulties encountered in activating new collaborative networks around public services such as schools and libraries. Two Milanese actors will offer a practical insight, highlighting challenges and opportunities that have emerged in promoting such initiatives.

02. The contribution of service design
This panel explores how service design can facilitate a transition towards collaborative models, with contributions from experts who have worked on digital platforms and new formats of public services.

03. Stabilising good practices
The aim of the roundtable is ambitious: to go beyond good practices to identify strategies for stabilising collaborations. Models and tools for redesigning public services with a view to lasting alliances between citizens and intermediate bodies will be discussed.
