Introduction

We are here Venice is a Third Sector Organisation (TSO), registered in the Joint National Register of the Third Sector, dedicated to the conservation of Venice as a living city. Founded in 2015, it operates both as a research collective and activist platform, reinforcing connections between the best available sources of information, stakeholders, and the local community.

Venice, with its specificity, its history and its cultural intricacies, represents a unique context for exploring and acting on innovative policies of resilience. Our initiatives range from specific projects, such as research and fieldwork, to broad awareness-raising campaigns.

We collaborate with universities, businesses, cultural institutions, residents and public authorities to create projects and propositions which are based on rigorous research and bring concrete economic, physical and ecological change, measurable by social indicators.
