Linda Laurance, Chair, EUConsult
15.45-16.30 CHARITIES’ TAX MODELS ACROSS EUROPE AND THE NEW ITALIAN MODEL
Antonio Cuonzo, Co-Founder and Partner, Cuonzo Montecchiani, Italy
The third sector reform, implemented in Italy in recent months, brings into question the taxation model of charities. The question that often arises is whether it is necessary to evaluate entities based on their activities or their purposes. This session will give a quick comparison between the tax models adopted by different European countries, highlighting their attention to the activities carried out or the purposes pursued. Will the new Italian model be in line with the European trend?
16.30-17.30 CAN THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR AND THE SOCIAL ECONOMY BE COHERENTLY
INTEGRATED? NOTES AND SCENARIOS FROM THE ITALIAN THIRD SECTOR REFORM
Prof Maria Cristina Antonucci, Researcher in Social Sciences, National Research Council of Italy
The voluntary sector and the social economy are every day becoming more important in European social, economic and political systems. Specialisation and differentiation of these domains seem to be hardly compatible with the need for more integration between them. However, a 2016 bill in Italy attempted to integrate, in one reform, measures for the voluntary sector and the social economy. This session analyses the actions outlined by the Italian third sector reform and sketches some scenarios from this experience.
16.30-17.30 CULTURAL FUNDRAISING: CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE SCENARIOS
Antonella Giacobbe, Donor Recruitment/Community Fundraising, Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Italy
Italy, the country with the largest number of UNESCO sites, has seen a progressive reduction in total spending on culture, forcing cultural institutions to rethink their sustainability in terms of ‘development’ and not just of ‘subsistence’. To achieve this goal, it is crucial to recognize the ongoing changes in social context, to involve the territory and to differentiate their funding mix.17.30-18.30 Participants have time to relax or go to their hotels
18.30-19.30 ROME GUIDED TOUR
19.45 WELCOME RECEPTION AND DINNER
14 OTTOBRE
09.45-11.00 WORKSHOP – VALUES AND IDENTITY IN A CHANGING WORLD?
Karen Morton, Consultant, The Capability Company, UK
Not-for-profit organisations may consider themselves uniquely ethical or value driven. But what does this actually mean when corporate mission statements speak of community, saving the planet, or even love? When thousands campaign by pressing ‘send’ and activists, without organisational structures, summon up crowds of protesters overnight? Karen Morton will run a participatory workshop creatively exploring what differentiates our consultancies, and the sectors we work in. Loosely using the neuro-linguistic programming approach to ‘logical levels’, participants will consider the connections between values, beliefs and identity, within a changing context, and what this means for us and our work.
11.00-11.30 Networking Break
11.30-12.45 WORKSHOP – WHAT DO CONSULTANTS BRING TO THE SECTOR?
Christopher Goodhart, Director, Affidato Consulting, UK
Changes in the world of work and technology present increasingly complex and systemic challenges to our not-for-profit clients, and to us as their consultants. A greater divide between labour market winners and losers, exploitation and social disruption, could be some of the alarming consequences of these changes if not prepared for and addressed early. We need to be ready. This interactive workshop builds on the excellent work done by delegates at the Spring Workshop in London guided by John Tierney. In Rome, we will review the landscape and context of our work now and in the future. We will help articulate what consultants bring to the sector, and in working groups will develop specific actions to be proposed to EUConsult members.

15.00-16.00 GLOBAL MEGATRENDS BOOSTING SERVICES INTEGRATION
Beatrice Valente Covino, Assistant Manager, KPMG Advisory, Italy
Major global forces affect significantly national governments and public sector policy makers’ choices, increasing the level of complexity. To cope with these greater challenges, public sector leaders around the world are embracing integrated delivery models in the human and social services sector in order to achieve better outcomes and operating efficiencies.
