IVA sei PARTITA

Category: #follow+#followweb+⚐ IT

IVA è [APPENA] PARTITA …MA VUOLE ANDARE LONTANO

Laura (36 anni ) e Paola ( 29 anni)  si sono conosciute un anno fa, quando una aveva la “P.I. da qualche anno, e l’altra da pochi mesi” ci tengono a sottolineare. Perchè sebbene i loro percorsi lavorativi abbiano avuto tempi e luoghi diversi, e siano stati arricchiti da borse ed esperienze all’estero, la loro identità professionale si riduce ad una sequenza “ che solitamente è un pò uguale per tutti, di stage (anche senza rimborso spese) – ritenuta di acconto – contratto a progetto – iscrizione all’ordine – apertura partita iva – iscrizione inarcassa”.
Il loro incontro è avvenuto sul posto di lavoro, dove con la promessa di un ottima retribuzione è stato chiesto loro di  emettere fattura, rinunciando a tutti i benefici  di un lavoro dipendente: malattia, vacanze, contributi; senza godere di fatto di nessuno dei valtaggi e della flessibilità di cui gode un libero professionista. “abbiamo lavorato senza contratto di consulenza per 5 mesi e visto che le nostre fatture emesse non venivano pagate allo scadere dei 30gg,  abbiamo chiesto un contratto, che ci è stato inviato bel e fatto senza poter procedere a nessuna forma di contrattazione”. Da allora sono passati (non troppo) tempo e più di un lavoro, ma la condizione di libero professionista gli è rimasta addosso, come a  moltissimi loro colleghi. Così nasce IVA. continue reading

USDE | Octava semana de sesiones abiertas y entregas de proyectos

Category: ⚐ ES+educación+urban social design

Esta semana, debido a las celebraciones de Semana Santa, las sesiones colectivas de las experiences han tomado una pausa.

Es una buena ocasión para recordar que nos encontramos en una fase decisiva del experience y que para los participantes es el momento de concretar y acabar de definir los proyectos para entregarlos.

La entrega está pensada para que cada participante pueda sacar el máximo provecho de esta experience: queremos evitar en la medida de lo posible que el curso se acabe sin que cada participante tenga un proyecto desarrollado. Sin embargo la entrega no tiene carácter de obligación.

URBACT | The city of our dreams

Category: ⚐ EN+creativity+urbact

Chaos unceasingly invents lives never imagined
Boris Cyrulnik

Let’s accept the crisis. Personally, I accept it convinced that it has an important systemic character and that it urges us to act because we are still far from seeing signs of the crisis bottoming out.

As a society, we have neglected all the signs that forecasted the collapse of the economic system for decades, and we have insisted in pursuing till the end a development model that, besides being deeply unfair and unbalanced, has shown itself to be exquisitely hypocritical, in particular for those of us who have tasted it to a greater extent.

The population of the so called developed countries have placidly flown with the tide of the promise of individual happiness, of the illusion of personal fulfilment, of the glare of the American dream….

The blindness caused by the flashes of the consumer society has driven us to an individualized existence, to the point that we have forgotten every social or environmental compromise with our environment. Meanwhile, we were begging to establish economic links with external powers we don’t even know, nor understand, and, of course we don’t control. These links have made us accomplices of this human devastation and environmental pillaging our mortgaged planet is suffering. continue reading
