A simple idea to make a difference: It all began with a desire — to live in a world that’s a bit fairer, more human, more real. A world where people matter more than numbers. Where you can learn, build, make mistakes, and dream together. We looked around and asked ourselves: what if we started with ourselves? What if we tried, in our own small way, to make space for beauty, meaning, and care?
That’s how Lizard was born. Not a perfect organization, but a community in motion. Made of free people, bold ideas, and the will to do something good. We believe that every gesture, even the simplest, can become part of a greater change. That learning can happen every day. That we can work together not to compete, but to build something truly worth living.
We don’t have all the answers, but we ask real questions. We don’t offer magical solutions, but real paths. We believe in knowledge that opens the mind, in action that comes from the heart, in collaboration that grows through listening.
If you too feel the need for a different way of doing things — a place where you can fully be yourself and give purpose to your energy — then maybe it’s time to come closer to our project and begin, together, to build the change.
We started with simple, yet essential things. If we truly want change, we must begin with what sustains life.
Sustainable Mobility:
For us, moving is not just about getting from one place to another. It’s about reconnecting — with forgotten territories, with isolated communities, with nature, and with that deep sense of belonging we often lose. We’re imagining lightweight, intelligent, and clean vehicles. To bring life back where silence has replaced dialogue. To reconnect what was once divided.
Education and Research:
We believe in knowledge that doesn’t stop at books, but is lived. Knowledge explored with the hands, the mind, and the heart. That’s why we design programs, workshops, and encounters for those who want to challenge themselves, grow, and contribute actively. Together, we’re not just building knowledge — we’re shaping change.
Ethical and Participatory Technologies:
We use digital tools not to distance people, but to bring them closer. We believe in technology that simplifies life, supports decision-making, and helps us collaborate and feel part of something meaningful. Tools that don’t replace humanity, but support it. Because technology can truly serve life — when it’s designed with care, consciousness, and a focus on real human needs.
Regenerative Culture:
We want to change the way we live in the world. To rethink how we inhabit places, how we work, how we build relationships, and how we envision the future. That’s why we create networks, events, and projects that open up new spaces — for reflection, dialogue, dreaming, and shared action. Because change begins when ideas, people, and the courage to do things differently come together.
Every civilization begins when people start to move, to meet, to share ideas. The ancient Roman roads, the ports of the Serenissima, the railways that connected continents — these were not just infrastructures: they were bridges between worlds, tools that allowed new cultures, economies, and visions to be born and grow.
Today, that responsibility is ours. It’s up to us to imagine new pathways — not just physical, but also cultural and social. Pathways that don’t consume, but regenerate. That bring us closer to the land, to our resources, to one another. To ourselves.
We believe that change begins here: with a new way of moving, learning, cultivating, and caring for the world and its inhabitants. It doesn’t require heroic gestures, but small daily choices. Shared projects. Ideas walking together, step by step.
Because waiting is not enough. To truly change, we must begin the journey. And if you feel ready to be part of this new beginning, stand up. And walk with us.
Collaborate and Walk with Us
Maybe you, like us, feel that something needs to change. That we can no longer stand by, hoping someone else will take the first step. That the time has come to get involved — each of us, with whatever we can offer, even if it seems small.
Joining this project means entering a journey alongside real people who have chosen to act. It means becoming part of a living community where ideas, experiences, skills, and energy are shared. Where new ways of learning, working, and living better are built — together.
Because change doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s a path made of daily actions, meaningful encounters, and conscious choices.
Signing up is exactly that: your first step. A tangible gesture to say, “I’m here. I want to play my part. I want to contribute.”
You don’t need to be an expert, or perfect, or fully ready. You just need the will to participate. Because every voice, every idea, every story matters — including yours.
Within the Lizard association, there are several ways to participate and become part of the project, designed to accommodate different needs, availabilities, and levels of engagement. The main distinction lies between two broad forms of membership: one that is online, ideal for those who wish to support and engage with the association remotely; and one that is more hands-on and local, intended for those who want to contribute actively in the physical spaces provided by the organization.
Becoming an Online Member is the simplest and most immediate way to connect with the Lizard community. It’s designed for those who live far away or have limited time, but still want to be part of the project, stay connected, access educational content, and contribute with ideas, proposals, and expertise. Through the ONet Workspace digital platform, online members can join virtual meetings, explore thematic domains, take part in training programs, and collaborate in working groups and remote activities. It’s a light yet meaningful form of membership that opens the door to deeper involvement over time.
For those who wish to experience the association in a more immersive and day-to-day way, there is the opportunity to become an Active Member. In this case, participation also involves the physical spaces: hubs, labs, local clubs, and community-based activities. This is a more direct form of engagement, which requires presence, care, and commitment. Active members help build projects on the ground, share knowledge and experiences, and contribute to the growth of the community through meaningful relationships and ongoing collaboration.
In addition to individuals, organized entities — such as associations, public or private organizations, businesses, and educational institutions — can also become partners or associated organizations. This type of membership is based on co-design and the shared development of research, training, and innovation initiatives. Through dedicated tools, access to advanced content, and opportunities for dialogue, Lizard works with its partners to build a fertile ecosystem for cooperation, knowledge transfer, and positive impact in local communities.
In every case, the first step toward joining the project is to become an Online Member: an accessible choice for everyone, offering a gradual entry into the network, values, tools, and opportunities of the association. From there, each person or organization can find their own way to contribute, according to their pace, intentions, and possibilities. Because being part of Lizard is not just about joining an initiative — it’s about entering a cultural and cooperative movement in constant evolution.
