with Marco Bertagni

For Leaders, Managers, Decision Makers, and their Teams involved in growing and developing trade relationships and business in the EU.

6 hours in total, designed to be delivered as a one or two day workshop. Available in Italian, English or French

The world of lobbying is rapidly changing, and you must embrace this change in order to thrive. Successful representative organisations are less elephantine and costly than in the past: lobbying nowadays is less about formal aspects and more and more about focusing on key-issues to represent vis-à-vis EU institutions and about matching key-services demanded by clients. Your workshop leads, who have 30 years of experience in national and international lobbying organisations, offer a course of orientation in the new world of lobbying, starting from an internal decisional processes to get to the importance of believing in what has to be represented.

During the workshop we examine building effective relationships with companies/subjects of the Associations: they should not be seen as competitors, but as companions working towards a common goal. In addition, attendants will become familiar with the European Union Institutions, the way they work and their funding policies. Participants will be asked to map the Association/Organization they work for, in an innovative and non-conventional way, then use this map as a starting point to develop their own organisation.

FULL ENGINEERING OF AN EXIBITION

with Marco Bertagni & Marco Barozzi

For Event Leaders, Managers, Decision Makers, Organisers and their Teams

6 hours in total, designed to be delivered as a one- or two-day workshop, available in English, Italian, French & Spanish

Business is emotional when it comes to customer experience strategies. The traditional rational consumer model has been challenged by a more intuitive consumer model. Rather than viewing customers as essentially rational in their decision making, the role of emotions in their decision making has received an increasing amount of attention and consideration. It is also a key component of building employee’s and customer’s trust.

The collaboration of fields and disciplines such as marketing, psychology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience have opened this view of consumer behavior understanding. Humans are largely emotional beings and customer behaviour is emotionally driven, almost entirely. We have the science to back it up.

We will go through the latest languages of communication by mapping the values your business wishes to share with potential clients during your exhibition and we will have an overview of how to design an effective booth, while still keeping in mind the main commercial and organizational rules of how to set up a fair, as well as post-exhibition management. We will also update Companies on the latest post-Covid-19 trends in exhibition management.

LOOSENING UP THE TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES OF GEOGRAPHY

with Marco Bertagni

For Professionals and Teams looking to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world

8 hours in total designed to be delivered in a one or two session workshop. Available in English, Italian and French

The project Bertagni Geography (www.bertagnigeography.com) is a journey into the world of Geography, which is looked at as a riverbed that takes shape and content when sprayed by the waters of other fields of science.

We have committed ourselves to intercept the various sources of knowledge that are complementary to geography so that water from various tributaries can flow into the main riverbed of a fully comprehensive and harmonized knowledge. With this new cross-cultural character and role, Geography has been placed in functional relation to the knowledge and the representation of the world, to the study of the dynamics of man and populations, to the analysis of the environment and the territory, to the understanding of economic activities.

This project is above all a tribute to geography that we have investigated from multiple angles, with the intent of offering a modern, flexible and effective perception; we would never want geography to be regarded as a closed and self-referential system or a strictly notional, mnemonic and austere knowledge.

A GEOGRAPHICAL READING OF THE CONTEMPORARY CITY

with Marco Bertagni and Anna Preti

For Leaders, Managers, Decision Makers, and their Teams involved in urban planning and transformation

6 hours in total designed to be delivered as a one or two session workshop. Available in English and Italian

Critical urban geography (close to human and emotional geography) has pioneered the structuring of interdisciplinary debates within urban studies, developing the more systematic analysis of the relationships existing between contemporary political processes and the reconfiguration of urban space. Critical urban geography, through the development of 'the right to the city' first, and the one of post-politics recently, has highlighted the need to reflect on the rift between the policies and projects of many European cities investing urban spaces and urban natures. This is characterized by the neoliberal and post-political, post-ideological paradigm, and the grassroots demands for different urban paths. In the context of that segment of critical urban geography that deals with the study of political ecology, a rich literature is developing at the international level. Such literature is focusing on governance mechanisms and practices of use of urban natures studied in the relationship to the social claims that take position against these transformations (as it is in the case of many urban forests), and institutional narrations that support urban regeneration processes. The methodological approach of critical urban geography combined with the use of emotional geography during fieldwork could trigger innovative models for studying these conflicting urban realities. Many European cities are already using neighborhood workshops, Bologna being an example, within which emotional geography and semiotic analysis are used to experiment new modes of participatory processes of citizenships (see for example "Progetto Pilastro 2016 - maps as medium for territorial knowledge"). This use of emotional mapping is interesting when integrated with a genuine political interest to citizens participation in the future of urban natures. The theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches of critical urban geography and the post-political theory are fundamental tools for critically analyzing the limits and the potentials of such political practices of inclusive governance, suggesting, eventually, alternative uses of emotional geography.

For individuals searching for answers from their past to enable them to move forward with clarity, confidence and strength

6 hours in total, designed to be delivered as one- or two-session workshop. Available in English, Italian and Spanish

There can be no depth without a surface, there is no conflict between the two "measures", since in all of us there is a surface and a depth. Here we want to bring out the emotional meanings settled in our depth (layers), giving it a new shape in the extension of the surface (area). Temporally the surface represents our present, the here and now, the depth our past, the there and then. The perception we have of the depth navigates on the surface, everything, basically, lives on the surface: it is here that we can (re) know the submerged aspects and it is always here that we connect with the other, what lives on the surface is what we share and bring into social relationships. The surface has its own depth and, to paraphrase the poet Hugo Von Hoffmannsthal, we can poetically say that "the depth is hidden in the surface". Each player will draw a map and each place they will draw is referred to an event of their lives. This event will be placed in the center of the globe and starting from there, they will try to remember the different emotions they felt from the occurrence of the event to the current situation. The Course Leaders - a Geographer of Emotions and a Philosopher-Counselor – will then examine each map from different disciplinary perspectives and through sharing processes, they will make a metaphorical drilling from the imaginary places to the heart of the event. After having examined the self drillings and the coring maps, we will give some advice on how to better understand the thoughts and behaviours that followed the events in the participants’ lives. It’s a path of growth, resilience and awareness, in which participants are using a meta-language to re-focus their memories of events which affected their lives.

WHEN NUMBERS ARE NOT JUST NUMBERS

with Marco Bertagni

For anyone interested in numbers, maths, the history of Pi and the relationship of numbers to all life.

4 hours in total designed to be delivered as a single workshop. Available in English and Italian

This seminar aims to confirm that observing phenomena from different perspectives will automatically open the gate to plenty of suggestions.

If we talk about Π ϕ 0 ∞ who would regard them as mere numbers? Hopefully nobody! The Course Leads – a geographer of emotions, an economist and a mathematician – will analyze these numbers from different perspectives and will underline their connections with geography, literature, art, nature, economy, sociology, finance, while also providing a didactic explanation of their classical mathematical applications.

We will also discuss the concept of topology and introduce a project of emotional topology. Attendees will be asked to map out their hidden connections with one or more of these magic numbers.

HOW TO ELICIT EMOTIONS THROUGH TABLE SETTING

with Lucia Lamonarca and Marco Bertagni

For creative individuals who want to wow, for hospitality who go the extra for their clients and for business owners looking to impress in a novel and memorable way

6 hours in total, designed to be delivered as one- or two-session workshop. Available in English, Italian and French

Lucia and Marco will start with an overview on table setting and cinema. Many famous movie scenes are centered on table setting and table itself will certainly elicit values, emotions and moods.

According to the way you decide to set your table you can somehow address the event and the atmosphere. Relations, family, friendship, tradition, roots, culture, style, design, respect, business, people, taking care: there are so many elements to take into account when setting a table.

We will play some games on this subject with attendees asking them to guess who’s coming for dinner and also by asking you to draw a map of an event with different targets and to design a table setting accordingly.
