The article describes working experiences in relation to empowering activities, which have been carried out in a local community in the province of Caserta (in Southern Italy), a place characterized by the widespread presence of organized criminal groups. In this study, workplace is intended as a community network aimed at the promotion of coscientization, liberation, and well-being. Specifically, this paper features initiatives and projects aimed at establishing new community values through a re-construction of a work-based social system standing against criminal clans, which tend to dominate not only economical transactions but also civil life.

Keywords : Network; social economy; conscientization; collective well-being; Gomorrah; Criminal Power; De-Growth; concientización; bienestar colectivo; Gomorra; poder criminal; decrecimiento.
