What we do
Scaffolding. Constellation. Holding. That’s how ParamitaLab works.
These are the concrete devices where our practice unfolds. Neither standardised products nor pre-designed packages: they are spaces of encounter that we adapt to each context, through relational holding and active listening to specific needs.
We work in three main formats —consultancy, capacity-building and initiatives— which we articulate through a mixed economy. Each responds to different depths and durations, yet all seek the same: to create the conditions for each person's singularity to emerge as generative difference that transforms the collective.
CAPACITY-BUILDING
Intensive laboratories lasting 2–5 days for teams and communities of practice. Learning emerges from encounter, shared experimentation and reflection-in-action.
CONSULTANCY
We accompany organisations in traversing their own paradoxes. We do not bring solutions: we hold the space where theirs emerge.
CO-CREATED INITIATIVES
Projects that originate from ParamitaLab, either continuing with us or developing their own identity before eventually spreading their wings and becoming autonomous.
ParamitaLab ETS is the framework that holds together a constellation of initiatives at the intersection of social art, experiential learning and community development. Some of these initiatives grow to become autonomous, developing their own identity, methodology and community. They are deliberate responses to the challenges of our time — not hasty solutions, but ways of cultivating a readiness for the futures that are emerging.
Macro projects
C.A.S.A. Reggello
From an old factory to Open Artistic-Social Center
C.A.S.A. Reggello is the place-based initiative of ParamitaLab APS, developing an artistic and community center in the Florence metropolitan area as a space for culture, co-creation, and local regeneration.
WellSpaces Network for Youth
Our framework: Safety → Belonging → Hope → Wise agency
WellSpaces Network is the European and international network co-created by ParamitaLab APS, and co-funded by the EU through Erasmus+, connecting organizations and practitioners around wellbeing, learning, and awareness-based systems change.
Studio Atelierista
Making visible the intangible
Studio Atelierista is the creative and methodological initiative of ParamitaLab APS, dedicated to cultivating relational and artistic practices that support transformative responses in times of social urgency.
Collaborations
We work in close collaboration with
Antigóna — our main ally: Organization founded in 2008 that develops projects of solidarity and inclusion at the local, European and global level, integrating social, digital and formative dimensions.
European Networks — Through Erasmus+ and other European Commission programs, we participate in transnational projects that nourish shared learning and collective experimentation around inclusion and capacity-building.
"Giving space, clearing places: this is what grounds and guides all building. The 'between' is not an additional third, but the relation itself that gathers the two in their being-turned toward one another."
