[Applause]

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]
