Do spaces for dialogue and discussion still exist?

In today’s world—complex and sensitive to political, social, and industrial shifts—organizations must redefine their roles. Businesses are no longer just economic players but increasingly social actors. Associations, advocacy movements, and informal networks serve as aggregators of experiences and perspectives within an ecosystem that can sometimes feel disorienting. How can we promote sustainable development that generates impact? By moving beyond a conflict-driven mindset, restoring optimism and trust, and starting with the perspectives of younger generations.

Speakers include Mario Calderini (PoliMI & Cottino Social Impact Campus), Giuseppe Dell’Erba and Caterina Soldi (Cottino Social Impact Campus), Luca Quaratino (IULM University & ISTUD Business School), Giorgia Garola (Unione Industriali Torino), Federico Bellono (CGIL), Anass Hanafi and Carolina Grossetti (Global Shapers Community). The discussion will be moderated by Caterina Soldi.

This event is organized by Cottino Social Impact Campus in collaboration with Global Shapers, ISTUD Business School, Torino Social Impact, and Unione Industriali Torino, as part of Democrazia Diffusa at Biennale Democrazia 2025.
