Cantieri ViceVersa
Financial Networks for the Third Sector
Cantieri ViceVersa is promoted by the National Forum of the Third Sector in collaboration with Italian Sustainable Investment Forum.
The project was born in 2019 with the aim of facilitating dialogue, comparison and mutual knowledge between Third Sector Entities (ETS) and financial operators and of analyzing the tools of sustainable finance, in order to respond to the Italian Third Sector needs.
After the first two editions divided into a series of meetings between the world of finance and the one of associations, voluntary organizations, social enterprises and social cooperatives and viceversa, the project has evolved and enriched.
In 2021, the “Cantieri ViceVersa Summer School” was launched: a three-days event with debates, interviews and workshops accompanied by the analysis of products and financial instruments for the Third Sector.
The fourth edition of the project continued in 2022 with a series of meetings involving financial operators and ETS. The Summer School took place from 6 to 8 July 2022, in the city of Parma. The program included four sessions, dedicated to four themes: credit, gift, insurance, equity. The proposals and results of the initiative were collected in a shared document. The report was presented at the project closing event on 21 November 2022, as part of the Sustainable and Responsible Investment Weeks (SRI weeks).
The fifht edition of the project took place in 2023 and it was made of a series of meeting involving financial operators and ETS and the Summer School (Padua, 14-16 June 2023). The proposals and results of the initiative were collected in a shared document. The report was presented at the project closing event on 21 November 2023, as part of the Sustainable and Responsible Investment Weeks (SRI weeks).
The sitxh edition took place in 2024. It included, as always, a series of meeting involving ETS and the financial sector, and a Summer School (Modena, 2-4 July 2024).
