A new chapter of the Storie a Impatto series, developed in collaboration with Vita.it, dedicated to exploring experiences and trajectories of social impact.

Thirty years after its foundation, REVES – the European Network of Cities and Regions for the Social Economy continues to grow. Established through the collaboration between local authorities and social economy organisations in Italy and Sweden, the network has become one of Europe’s leading reference points for promoting development models based on cooperation among public institutions, social enterprises, and communities. The network has now welcomed the Metropolitan City of Turin, whose membership was approved during the latest General Assembly.

The article traces the origins and evolution of REVES, showing how a shared vision across different territories has helped strengthen the role of the social economy in European policymaking and in building more inclusive, participatory, and resilient communities.
