We work best when we are connected. Not only from technology but from shared value, ideas and goals.
Commonground celebrates the ‘connected’ worlds, the communities of changemakers that are changing the scenarios in which we live and activating social change, the way in which traditional organizations converge with such communities and, together, manage to generate new, fluid models and solutions that are proving to be effective in pushing the world ‘ahead’.
Commonground anticipated Maker Faire Rome 2022 and shown how the Faire, ten years after its arrival in Italy, has changed the way we look at, and we feel about, innovation.

ELECTRONICS – TUESDAY 4 OCTOBER, 3:30 PM
New challenges between resources, sustainability and the market
Electronics have made people’s lives easier, more fluid and more lively. They have reduced the distances between people and their worlds, they have facilitated dialogue and in-depth analysis.
The use of electronics today is so much a part of our lives that we can hardly imagine what the world would be like without it. Everything, from cooking to music, uses electronics or components in some way.
We can no longer do without electronics: it is a key industry in the economic and political scenario, and it is influencing choices and decisions. The need for a “change in attitude” is strategic and is urging companies and governments to act.

CULTURE – WEDNESDAY 5 OCTOBER, 3.30 PM
The future of culture is common
What does ‘culture’ mean today and what can represent the ‘commonground’ that the cultural industry needs? The session developed and stimulated reasoning on the innovation mindset in the cultural field and the impact it can have on the perceived value of culture and on the choices of fruition.
What would happen if we started to consider innovation as a common good, and what would it mean to treat culture and cultural production in this light?
These are just some of the many questions explored in this session
What is innovation, if not a way to keep us together?
