the RENAISSANCE creative citizens™ approach
Our programs and projects are driven by the idea of "creative citizenship". This "citizenship" is not an ID card —it is a way of life that empowers citizens to use their creativity to shape and improve their cities. Citizens are more than just consumers, voters, and taxpayers; they can also be problem solvers for their communities. This creative democratic force is not limited by nationality, geography, or skin color —it is a core human experience that can be harnessed as a tool to build a better future, from the bottom up.
CREATIVE CITIZENS NETWORK
Cities are territories of solutions created by others —a network of Creative Citizens. The vision of a collaborative social fabric that spans hemispheres, regions, sectors, and backgrounds guides our connection to local citizens from all walks of life, grassroots communities and organizations, academic and research institutions, and government agencies.
A PROVEN SYSTEM
Over the past decade, our team has developed the Creative Citizens™ Methodology, inspired by the system of the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century —a time when ordinary citizens were able to develop exceptional talents and knowledge with a human-centered approach to create public art, urban solutions, and entrepreneurial efforts that contributed to the betterment of their society. The Creative Citizens Methodology combines artistic imagination, scientific curiosity, and social entrepreneurship to transform cities on a human, community-based scale.
