Live-Talk: We are Here Venice: how to do tourism in a sustainable way in Venice

We are here Venice is an NGO which was born to address the fundamental challenge facing Venice: to remain a living city.
Their mission is based on an understanding of the city and the lagoon as inseparable elements within a single system, and all of their work highlights the importance of the interplay between the natural environment and human intervention. Their activities range from self-contained projects and exhibitions designed to stimulate interest and raise awareness, to substantial collaborative campaigns and research programmes. They believe that Venice’s unique circumstances offer huge potential as a laboratory for exploring innovative approaches to community resiliency.

We will meet Laura Onofri, Environmental economist and part of the Advisory Committee for We are here Venice, an NGO which was born to address the fundamental challenge facing Venice: to remain a living city. We will discus with her the problems that Venice faces every day and possible solution. We will explore with Laura how we should create sustainable tourism in this incredible city! Thank you also to Ca’ Sagredo for offering us this greatest location on the Gran Canal for this important and interesting appointment!
