About us

Variable K is a non profit social enterprise founded in 2022 by a group of young sociological and cultural entrepreneurs dedicated to the regeneration of Ercolano and the Vesuviana area.

The project
We work with children, adults, artisans and institutions to identify and reconnect essential traces of its social and historical past to guarantee its present and future.

The context
We work in Ercolano, an area rich in cultural and natural resources yet an area characterised by  socio-economic and educational fragility.

Vision
We want to create a movement for social and cultural change.

Mission
Nurture a sense of involvement through hope in such a manner as to guarantee the future of a community and its cultural heritage.
