VILLAGGIO ECOLOGICO SOLIDALE - Urbino Ecological Village Solidale - Gaifa -Urbino - Italy c/o Fabrizio Santori Via Enrico Fermi s.n.c. 61034 Fossombrone Pesaro Urbino - Italy ph THE PROJECT in SYNTHESIS We are working to form a community of independent and self-governing families but bounded together by a strong solidarity and collaboration spirit (one person is a family - any kind of couple is a family). A community who would live in a village which research and test a new sober model of life style based on the safety of the environment and on the participation, the responsibility and the respect to each other. We would like to experiment with environmental, social and economical sustainability and we would like to research models which can potentially be applied by all inhabitants of the world. THE PROBLEM How to build a social model based on the participation and self-responsibility instead of on dominion and delegation? Sociological analyses of our society show that since the '80's it is growing a sensation of instability and disorientation to which people react sheltering themselves in their mononuclear family . The most common answer to this diffused, stressing, incapacity of facing the complexity is to wait for someone solving problems for us. In the meanwhile they shelter in the reassuring narrow range of the family. The unfair distribution of resources and richness on earth cause the poverty of many. Environmental emergency caused by the rising impact of men on the planet rise more and more the need and necessity of a new society model able to use and distribute natural resources in a manner of creating a endless renewable cycle. For all those ecological an social points and for others points of social equity it is urgent the necessity to discuss about the sanity of our style of life. A new society, a new style of life they need a new man.
