CGM, Italy’s National Consortium of Social Cooperatives, carried out Pre-Texts training for 16 members across two sessions in Reggio Emilia and Desio. The workshop used Calvino’s The Baron in the Trees to foster creativity, active listening, and collaborative leadership through activities such as timed reading, cover-design drawing, tableaux vivants, and collective poetry writing. These practices encouraged participants to value diverse perspectives, build intergenerational dialogue, and strengthen collective intelligence, creating a supportive environment for personal and professional growth.
