A sustainable eco-society

magilla

The Damanhurians consider the planet a living being to be respected and protected. This principle translates into great attention to the environmental impact when developing all the settlements of the Federation.

Damanhur has always invested many resources in the acquisition and rehabilitation of woodland areas, previously exploited only for fire-wood, where the under-wood had been destroyed, forcing the animals out, to find a new habitat. In order to return the woods to their original state of health, the citizens of the Federation, in collaboration with experts from the University of Turin, started, years ago, an important program of tree surgery and tidying up.

Eco-building

Eco-building is primarily a way of thinking in an ecological manner about the place where we live or where others will live, without overlooking any details in the process of building or sourcing materials.

The Seed Bank

The Damanhur Seed bank project: safeguarding plant bio-diversity and self-sufficiency in seed production.

The term 'bio-diversity', coined in the 1980s, indicates the variety and richness of living forms on the earth, from the Greek bios = life, and diversity, variation.

DAMANHUR CREA: A Centre for the Arts, Research and Well Being

crea

Damanhur Crea is a multi-functional space, a ‘living laboratory’ where ideas and dreams are translated into artistic objects, cultural events, training and eco-sustainable projects.

Thanks to the advantages of the circulation of the Credit – which has supported the creation of many businesses and services – in 2003, the Federation bought a former Olivetti factory at Vidracco, abandoned for 20 years. In 2004, after a demanding job of renovation, the complex re-opened as Damanhur Crea: Art, Culture and Health Centre.
