In the heart of Porta Palazzo, in the disused space of a historic newsstand, Thursday, July 9 will inaugurate “Lo spaccio di cultura – Portineria di Comunità” after a first virtual christening during the Covid emergency. From 11.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. a series of meetings will take place in the space, ending with a convivial moment and an artistic flash mob.

“Portineria di Comunità” proposes itself as a physical and relational place where we can begin to rebuild a community of proximity, where we can trust one another, give and receive help, exchange information, suggestions and ideas. A place where to find help for small daily tasks and where to rebuild relationships based on solidarity and trust. A point of reference for the community that will make it possible to meet and exchange skills and needs, a place of trust and an exercise in human microeconomics.

The project – conceived by Rete Italiana di Cultura Popolare in partnership with Ufficio Pastorale Migranti e Nessuno è straniero – is part of the 15 projects of social innovation supported by the City of Torino (Torino Social Factory project) co-financed by Pon Metro Programma Operativo Città Metropolitane 2014-2020.

The space in Piazza della Repubblica (corner of Via Milano) will be open from Monday to Saturday from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.
