The project has included laboratory paths to elaborate ideas/proposals for the reconstruction and for the future of the affected communities; activities aimed at students and teachers to promote the overcoming of trauma and the participation of young people in the rebuilding process; an online platform to aggregate and disseminate useful information from institutional and non-institutional sources about the offers of goods and services, requests/needs and other reports, and also training activities on civic monitoring and transparency in order to manage the implementation of rebuilding activities by institutions.

On the 24th of August 2016, Central Italy and, in particular, the area near the borders of the Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo and Marche regions, was hit by a major earthquake, which caused a large number of human casualties and significant damages to infrastructures including houses, schools etc. Between October and November 2016 and again in January 2017, the area was hit by new earthquakes that caused further structural damage and victims and a slowdown in overcoming the emergency phase. In this phase, the lack of systematicity and transparency in the management of information by the institutions became evident and the population was unprepared to handle the bureaucratic procedures.
