She has taught urban ethnography, the art of listening, and conflict management at the Polytechnic University of Milan, and has collaborated for years on projects for the redevelopment of neighborhoods in crisis. She additionally collaborates on projects to redevelop city neighbourhoods.
Sclavi was a student at the University of Trento from 1962 until her graduation in 1968 with a degree in sociology. During this time, she became involved with the Italian student protests of the 1960s, and her experiences would push her towards a philosophy of nonviolence.

She was also a member of il manifesto after the unification. [2]
From 1984 to 1992, she lived with her family in New York, where she studied urbanist groups in South Bronx, [3] chronicling her experiences in two books: A una spanna da terra and La Signora va nel Bronx. In these books, she developed a "humorous methodology" of ethnographic mapping. [4] [ further explanation needed ] After her return to Italy in 1993 until 2008, she was an instructor at the Polytechnic University of Milan. [5] Her areas of expertise are the redevelopment of neighbourhoods in crisis and public works projects.
In 2005, she was a visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Urban and Environmental Planning and Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation. Since 2006, she has collaborated with the Lawrence Susskind's Consensus Building Institute in Boston. [6] She is also an educator for the University of Amsterdam's Master on Conflict and Governance.
In 2008, she founded Ascolto Attivo (transl. active intelligence), a network that provides institutions such as citizens' groups, schools, and companies with active listening training. [6] [7] The network's other employees are Agnese Bertello and Stefania Lattuille. [8]
