To know more about the Sostenuto project…
Sostenuto is a project of micro-territorial experiments about the links between culture, economy, social issues and democracy in the Med space. Through the exploration of innovative practices in the cultural sector – incubator, cluster, LETSystem, new modes of territorial governance – it aims at reinforcing the cultural sector’s innovation capacity in the Mediterranean zone, stimulating use and generation of new economic and social models and valorizing its innovation capacity for decision makers, spatial planners and financers.
We hope to meet you in Ljubljana!
