I saperi del Mediterraneo per il futuro dell'Europa

The changing contexts and their complexity has placed the need to start thinking about social innovation actions that have the capacity to provide social responses to the real needs of citizens with sharing and participation of all social actors. The sharing and participation are two processes that cannot be separated from the social relations that constitute the mutual action of the people, and from which develops the order of reality which requires an act of mediation (social reflexivity) between human subjectivity and social systems. The social reflexivity, however, is not sufficient for the emergence of the "relational know" - knowledge about what you do, you think, and is experienced in a relational context - as "emergent effect" of the interactions between specific forms of "being" and "doing" of people. In fact, the social reflexivity needs to be transformed into "relational reflexivity". These processes allow the emergence of a "relational know" that directs the action towards social innovation of a civil society. The civil society does not configure more as a "rights" but also a "duty".
