Portinerie di Comunità

Portinerie di Comunità is a network of transformed public spaces (newsstands, libraries, school classes, small warehouses) which became living and shared places offering social services for the needs of the neighbourhood. The methodology of Portinerie di Comunità is based on community “activation” and an online platform matching needs and hidden know-how from the neighbourhood. Get a first-hand look at an effective model of social innovation and cultural welfare being scaled up in Torino, in other parts of Italy and in Europe.

It is a vibrant meeting point for housing, opportunities and sharing, for people looking for a temporary residence, young people, entrepreneurs, startuppers and more.

Stop 1

Open Incet

After several decades of complete abandonment, the Incet factory has become one of the most significant interventions of the Urban Barriera regeneration program. Since 2015 Open Incet has been giving support to businesses and the local ecosystem, helping to accelerate their process of growth, development, scaling and internationalisation. Open Incet is also acting in collaboration with Colla! - Collaborative Innovation: the two entities, each with their own peculiarities, act in synergy to create connections with national and international ecosystems for social innovation.

Located in a former printing house, Via Baltea aims to create solidarity relationships, and promote the principles of recycling, self-repair, exchange and reduction of consumption through its projects and activities.
