Activities

Throughout Globus et Locus’ history, glocalism has been the essential tissue that connects all experiences, reflections and projects. The term glocalism was introduced through studies by sociologists such as Roland Robertson and Zygmunt Bauman to indicate the phenomena produced by the consequences of globalisation felt by local realities and viceversa. Glocalism implies the change in organizational paradigms of the world and of societies, above all because of the technological innovation deeply changing our way of dealing with concepts of time and space.

The association Globus et Locus produces both research and projects, offering suggestions for both its members and other national and international institutions’ activities

Globus et Locus’ activities have developed around the following three main themes:

Governance and institutions
