APS ARCI SCUOTIVENTO

Arci Scuotivento is a cultural association founded in Monza in 2014. In 2016 it opened the first Arci club in the city, which soon became a reference point for young people, artists, activists, and cultural operators. Since 2022, the association has been collaborating with Spazio Rosmini in Monza to establish a new permanent venue for its activities, sharing the space with other local actors (including Silvia Tremolada). The aim is to transform this municipal venue into a community hub for the city. Scuotivento’s work combines cultural and social initiatives: music concerts and performances, theatre shows, debates and film screenings, as well as educational projects (such as Community Education Pacts, street education, and creative workshops) carried out in schools, youth centers, parishes, and public spaces. The association is also active in supporting vulnerable groups and in promoting volunteering. Over the years, Scuotivento has built a strong and ever-evolving network of collaborations with trainers, artists, and organizations active in the educational, cultural, and social fields. Since 2018, as project leader or partner, it has taken part in more than 20 initiatives across Monza and Brianza, supported by public institutions and private foundations.
