COMENSI

Toolkit for community engagement

The COMENSI toolkit is directed to adult education providers, administrators, community managers and professionals interested in activating participatory processes of community engagement in challenging urban areas. It supports the design of local projects aimed to reach and mobilise adult citizens, with particular attention to subjects at risk of exclusion.

This toolkit has been developed within the framework of the project COMmunity ENgagement for Social Inclusion (COMENSI) funded by ERASMUS+ programme (KA2 Adult Education). The purpose of COMENSI is to understand why adults who are living with disadvantage in urban areas are under-represented in participatory processes and to develop appropriate strategies and tools to counteract such issues.

The toolkit comprises three parts:

  • The COMENSI method – an overarching approach to community engagement to guide projects from the embryonic stage of development through to completion and evaluation
  • A collection of engagement methods, tools and techniques which include descriptions, guidelines and some practical use examples of where these have been applied
  • Local Framework Scenarios

Memory and Resistance

In this article, we introduce the experience of the network of Museums of Memory and Resistance in Rio de Janeiro, presenting in particular the case of the Museo da Maré. Our encounter with such bottom-up cultural space derives from the involvement in the EU Marie Curie rise project CoCreation, which provided the opportunity to spend a few months researching in Rio de Janeiro with the aim of developing and testing co-creation methodologies in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Social Housing

Per Housing che possa definirsi “sociale” si possono considerare tutte quelle forme di alloggio che riconoscono la casa come un diritto, inclusivo, sicuro, dignitoso accessibile economicamente, tale da non alimentare meccanismi di mercificazione e speculazione che pongono il profitto economico dinanzi al beneficio sociale.
