Stefano Carpani is the initiator of the YouTube interview series Breakfast at Küsnacht, which aims to capture the voices of senior Jungians.
In spring 2020, when the world went into lockdown, Stefano Carpani launched a video series on covid 19: C. G. Jung and Covid19. He talked to Jungian Psychoanalysts on the theme of the Pandemic, lockdown and how to cope with it.
With Bernhard von Guretzky and Paul Attinello he created Psychosocial Wednesdays, a digital salon moulded on those Freud´s Wednesdays meetings in Vienna and on Jung´s meetings at the Psychological Club, and feature speakers from various psychoanalytic traditions, schools, and associated fields.
He is among the initiators of “Accogliere le ferrite di chi cura” (Reaching out to the wounds of health professionals), an online free of charge psychological support to doctors, nurses and other health professionals engaged in a frontline battle to treat COVID-19 patients in Italy. He is also among the initiators of La prossima generazione (The next generation) a think-tank dedicated to the under 40, asking them to imagine and tell the ideas, projects, initiatives, policies about the – post Covid-19 – "new" Italy.
