Villa Fabris Bene Comune

Villa Fabris Bene Comune is a urban regeneration project of a monumental Villa in the small city of Thiene (25.000 inhabitants), province of Vicenza (Itally). We started our project in January 2024 as a group of 3 non-profit organizations: ENGIM, Coop. Samarcanda and ALDA.
We aim to transform Villa Fabris in

• - a place experienced by everyone and for everyone;

• - a space known for the value and appeal of the activities that take place inside;

• - a welcoming, beautiful space where people feel good;

• - a place in synergy with the territory, but also connected to the European dimension.
  
  To this day, the Villa hosts:

  • - a social business in the hospitality sector and a for-profit business in the catering sector

  • - 2 social craft workshops dedicated to people with disability

  • - a family fablab for makers and professionals

  • - a digital corner for adult unemployed training
    - Italian language courses for migrants

  • - the European Center for Local Democracy by ALDA
