By pooling their resources, experience and different perspectives, real progress and change can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Casa Netural is a traditional stone house set in a \u201cvicinato\u201d, or courtyard environment, that is a fluid space of tables, chairs, couches, recycled furniture and ambient music and lighting.<br \/>\nThe design needs are different to the city-based projects where life is fast-paced and more insular.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1422\" title=\"CasaNetural-CasparDiederik8\" src=\"http:\/\/austingcuclegacysite.wpengine.comm\/2013\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/CasaNetural-CasparDiederik8-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"214\" \/>It is a home, an office, a meeting space and a place where people can push their limits and open their mind in the company of others.<br \/>\nIt is also an experiment in empowering the community and prompting people to adopt a more participatory approach toward the goal of environmental, economic and social sustainability for Basilicata.<br \/>\nLocals will be encouraged to stay and plan their future in a thriving community while outsiders will be drawn to the area to explore creative and business opportunities.<br \/>\nBy starting with local, social change, co-working spaces can help these regions tap into the global business realm.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Paoletti<br \/>\nFounder Casa Netural<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/benetural.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.benetural.com\/en<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT if you could be a co-worker and creative social innovator outside of the usual metropolitan mould?
