Remote Workers for Remote Villages.
The New Series Starts on the 4th September
Far from the Metropolises. Close to the Future.
On July 29 we launched the pilot episode of Remote Workers for Remote Villages.
It was an experiment, a dress rehearsal (watched by more than 3,000 people!), but also a taste of what we wanted to build: an open space, light yet meaningful, to talk about remote work and the regeneration of local communities.
Because the future of work is not only in the skyscrapers of global cities, but also in villages, rural areas, and small towns where a stable internet connection brings new ideas, people, and opportunities.
Now we’re ready: the full series of 10 live episodes (plus some extras) will run from September 4 to December 16, 2025, streaming live on LinkedIn and Substack, organized by ITS Journal, Nomag Media and Smart Working Magazine.
All of this has been made possible thanks to the creators of the series (Matteo Cerri and Carlo Daniele) and to Kinsta, whose support helped us get started.
📅 The Schedule
Each live session will last about 60 minutes and feature people who are shaping this “movement.”
Every week we’ll preview our guests across our social channels and newsletters.
Some episodes will be in English, so that our expat and digital nomad friends can join the conversation as well.
Dates and times may shift slightly depending on our guests’ availability.
Each episode will be uploaded to our channels so you can watch or listen anytime.

Because working remotely doesn’t only mean connecting to the internet. It means connecting to a place, and to the community that gives it life.
