Palazzo Ducale, (Municipality of Sassari), piazza del Comune 1
On the UN World Day to combat desertification, established by the United Nations in 1994, Institutions, entrepreneurs and associations meet to discuss on a topical issue aiming at raising awareness about themes perceived as minor concerns by the community such as climate change, land degradation and connections between daily practices and resources. NRD-UNISS will highlight these interrelated and complex issues using “La Rasgioni”. In common with approaches in other traditional societies, La Rasgioni aimed not only to solve disputes peacefully but primarily to restore pre-existing relationships negatively affected by a conflict, thus preserving the community cohesion. Groups will look at a case study through their own lenses and will be invited to participate in a structured process of inquiry, entertainment, co-learning and reflection with local stakeholders, facilitated by NRD.
