Create and grow a new societal model at the heart of the Living with Venice as a pilot city
What is the Living?
It is everything that carries life, humans, animals, plants, minerals. It is an intelligence that has been developing for more than 4 billion years. Why Venice? Because Venice has repeatedly been a pioneer in all areas and because it is universal and because water is the source of Life.
A humanist and regenerative societal model to bequeath a revitalized society to our children and to inspire other cities around the world.
“ Never doubt that a small number of willing and thoughtful citizens can change the world; in fact, it always happens like this. » Margaret Mead
Venice, pilot city of a future Eden
In an increasingly degraded international context, many people understand that it is time to undertake systemic change and reinvent a more harmonious world. SUMus has chosen Venice as the “laboratory of the future” to initiate this movement of renewal around the Living , this regeneration necessary to repair the damage caused by our current lifestyles and to propose a new ideal of life that new generations expect.
A “Venetian Do tank” and “International Think tank”
SUMus considers that the society of tomorrow will be increasingly organized around places of life such as towns and villages and that the most important thing will be experimentation and the strength of example . This is why SUMus is both a “ Think tank ” and a “ Do tank ”.
Co-constructing a new paradigm in harmony with the Living
It's time for our consciousness to rise, it's time to put the intelligence of nature at the heart of a humanist renaissance and to join forces to co-create new healthy, regenerative, prosperous, inclusive lifestyles , benevolent and cheerful.

THE LITTLE LIGHTS SUMMER CAMP
SUMus will welcome around fifteen young Venetians in an experimental summer center around the Circle of Small Lights.
It will be a two-week program that will allow children to discover a different activity every day: creative workshop, cooking workshop, discovery of the lagoon, discovery of the vegetable gardens of Sant Erasmo, discovery of art exhibitions and much more. others. Each day will end with a philosophical circle following the Little Lights methodology in order to allow children to express their emotions, their sensations, their points of view and to encourage listening between them. This method has demonstrated new advantages promoting greater behavioral maturity in children, as well as better speaking and critical expression and allowing for better living together .
The summer camp will be held from July 17 to 28, 2024 for children aged 9 to 11.
