giampaolo for me the circular economy e
he
giampaolo was the neighbor of mine
grandmother from whom I spent the summers when
I was baby giampaolo is what one
once he would have been called the madman of the
screaming serial swearer country
serial did strange things and said things
very strange indeed for
we children but also for adults
that difficulty
that imperfection that fragility
they were difficult to understand and put to
fire
I remember giampaolo crossing the square
in the indifference of the township not
it was part of the canons of the ordinary of
that small provincial community
nobody expected any contribution from
he and so all in one way or
in the other they ignored him
and so we should have done it too
children asks children do they know
prohibit something of children is difficult
enforce the ban is
further difficult I do not resist
I approached him to the temptation and to the temptation
it was the prank of a child I remember
that day when we talked together
I was 10 years old I was sitting on the steps him
he was probably an adult standing up
the satisfaction of me spoke to me
having committed a small crime
what apprehension would have taken over
combined giampaolo a sudden snap
anger yet another huge blasphemy
understood nothing of all this
the adults were not right
we talked for a long time and there
perception in the end is that giampaolo
it was much less strange than what i
big people said things
interesting or at least I think because a
child is sitting and listening only
things that interest him if he does not run away
invent something then we lost ourselves of
view
he finds work and changed becomes
another person and I had become
bigger and more distracted less
interested in spending time talking with
people
he was another person, I do not know
that he worked he found but someone did
he had found someone had understood the
way to activate that guy like that
special
someone had understood better than us
we understood what qualities he had like
enhance them and the boy was really
also changed the hair aesthetically
long
the beard is full of fringe on one eye
the side cigarette the sweater the
dry jeans the bicycle pedaled
with sure to make sure it was splendid one
gorgeous hipster minded was not
nothing changed
he kept cursing continues to
flying continues to do strange things now
everything was kept everything made sense and
a meaning giampaolo had found
his identity
giampaolo had found his
dimension of well-being and was
fully bloomed now from my point
of sight
in my research experience
the circular economy is this one
resource a refusal for some inserted
in a favorable prosperous context e
produces value for oneself and for others
therefore giampaolo is the circular economy
it is because it represents all the
subjects
every matter we do not know what
to do because we can no longer see
what they can give us
opportunities they offer
and so this matter remains in the
subscale in the warehouse of a company o
if it goes wrong and is also thrown in
landfill but giampaolo and the economy
circulate also from another point of
view
giampaolo and all of us have each one of us
ability and fragility and if they prevail
the latter if we are evaluated only
based on ours
all without exception is found ai
impossible margins incapable of
provide for their needs and needs
access your rights
so from this point of view rejection
it can be anything that can be
a material can be a person in
a moment of temporary fragility but
a rejection is also the organizations
unable to collaborate with others
reality waste or opportunity
unused unexpressed opportunities for
me talking about circular economy
it basically means talking about
this how to activate the resources of the
people of the communities and of the
organizations nothing but this
it was easy and the circular economy
I’ve been working on this for years
idea of possibility on the possibility
that relationship processes exist
systems capable of activating those
resources to put them in condition of
produce value for all these systems
they exist if they do not exist
they can design and have their own
sustainability based essentially on the
mutual benefit of relationships that
connect and run this
system
I’ve been doing this for years, I’ve been contributing
to design systems that activate these
I do not do it alone
I do with people who are more competent than me
on the specific themes of the project from
territories to the well-being of people from
materials to processes
this is the range of projects of which there
we occupy the pact is always one
the pact is always one with those who design
to the system and who is inside that system
produce social economic value
environmental for the nodes of the system and for
the environment
I have dealt with many topics but
to the convergence of those themes that you of
I spoke to you about which territories
people materials processes is the
project
of which I would like to talk to you today is the
smaller project I’ve ever been to
busy
It’s called a lot of sport is a
project that speaks of connections that
they seemed impossible, it’s a project
who has created a system that
survives the project itself
we thought about it in 2015 with colleagues
and colleagues from whom for years with whom
years we collaborate on the themes of the
impossible connections is a project
which perfectly demonstrates the
reciprocity between components as well
different and so imperfect of the system
the nodes of this network are many one
abandoned material already used for
the communication of a great event
citizen 220 students who experiment
design with a social impact
a university that promotes
learning also based on
practice a municipal administration that
look at models of social inclusion
based on the idea of community and of
citizenship a network of more than 50
laboratories that work for inclusion
social status of people in conditions of
fragility through precious gestures
of crafts and then a shop
attached to this network of laboratories
that enhances this work is that
sells this work
the concrete results of this project
I am a family of products one
family of backpacks sports bags
personal containers that recovers every
centimeter each fiber of the fabric
abandoned that we were able to
recover these products have been
designed by the students during
a very intense educational experience
very exciting have been adopted
from the laboratories have been realized
from the people who work inside i
laboratories in close cooperation with
students learning from each other
others and then these products have
found a window where they tell
the meeting of these biographies and they are
sold for sale
all knots
with their imperfection but in the
system vision of this project
they are all useful to each other and
greg hold the system for example i
patient times with which people
they work on the material with which those gestures
they are observed because they say a lot
how is the person of how he is
progressing the person is
perfectly consistent with the times
regular and small quantities with which
the material periodically e
available and workable
and still learning skills
planning and relational projects by the
students go hand in hand with it
development that laboratories make of them
projects
these are some results that we
we consider very interesting but the values
that this system produces and that
allows this system to last from
years and all of them benefit
projects on this system
transiting are others there is the value
of relationships between people who do not
they know each other and discover each other
there is the value of citizenship the sense
of citizenship that is developed
from the collective creativity of this
project there are the proceeds of the
sale of these products that
they support the activities of these
laboratories so precious for health
of people and there are these
laboratories that literally open
to new languages that humbly enter
but with enthusiasm through the projects
of the students
and then there are the students who are there
they concretely learn the beauty and the
complexity of giving shape to matter
right through manual work
of people and this is still true of
more when a person is doing it
condition of fragility
then there are other values there are
values , innovation of work
because the connection between the nodes of
network collaboration between the nodes of
network brings significant changes to the
way in which each of us pursues i
their professional mandates inside the
system is out of the system
and then we left the materials
back to the materials there is the value
environmental because within this
system the matter circulates does not stop
and it produces more waste so much
many advantages and all are born of one
change of point of view opportunities
that transform the defects into negativity
that become values this is mine
way of working
this is my way too
personally rewarding to work
to write stories to develop
projects that perhaps models more
efficient they would not look with
interest this is the way in which
It works a lot of sports to this
I am very grateful for many projects
reasons but two in particular because me
remember every day that well-being
environmental and strong social ties are
inseparable are the one linked to the other
and yet every failure every progress
every mistake we face in this
project reminds me if it was not
as necessary as the circular economy
It is such only if it can also be
social and civil
thank you
[Applause]
