change-making projects
Pioneering projects that see the territory as a space for creation, regeneration, and future. Initiatives that go beyond the physical restoration of villages — they propose new ways of inhabiting, producing, and living in community, in harmony with nature.
Regenerating the Interior
The Schist Villages are becoming the stage for a new generation of transformative projects. More than just rehabilitating buildings or attracting occasional visitors, these initiatives propose sustainable models of living and working that regenerate the landscape, create active communities, and place the interior at the heart of innovation.
By combining ecology, technology, culture, and conscious living, these transformative projects challenge rural abandonment and propose new centers of vitality.
Each village can be more than a memory — it can be a seed for the future.
