Cohesion and territorial participation for a renewed concept of active citizenship. The case of Urban Experience.

Among the initiatives that promote a ‘secular’ concept of territorial identity, some are based on the shared acceptance ofconceptual “loci” or “topoi”, linked to the values of active citizenship and to new forms of social cohesion. Their purpose isimproving the quality of citizen participation in public space sharing: this is the case of urban experience, which concretelyupdates the interaction between the web and the territory, through a series of proposals, cultural projects and multimedialactions. An example in Italy is the “Urban Experience” association, born in Rome in 2009, aimed at transforming thecity into a cultural design field through performing media. A condition of public space sharing that fosters in the citizensthe sense of belonging to a common ‘homeland’, without barriers or borders.

Keywords: territory, identity, participation, performing media, Urban Experience.
