Cooperativa I Rais was established in 2016 by a group of young people already active in the area, working to promote and revitalize tourism. It emerged as a response to the need to ensure continuity for existing projects and to create new services essential for the community.
The cooperative operates in the town of Dossena (Bergamo), located in the Brembana Valley, with a population of about 880 residents.
I Raìs engages in a wide range of activities within the area, including: maintaining of municipal heritage, cleaning of public and private spaces, assisting students during school transport, preparing and distributing meals for the kindergarten, managing the Trattoria Alpina restaurant and the Bar-Albergo Mirasole, both also serving as vital community gathering points.
Furthermore, the cooperative manages the local public library and provides cheese aging services within the region’s historic mines.
The cooperative also organizes educational activities for children and teenagers, offering a play area for younger children, and school support opportunities for adolescents.
