School’s Out at the Fondazione Pirelli Educational Workshops
The last bell has rung at the Fondazione Pirelli Educational Workshops, too. The programmes organised by Fondazione Pirelli for the students of schools of all levels to learn about our rich corporate heritage and take part in our activities have finished for this year.
Some numbers: over 2500 students from more than 50 schools, 120 workshops with more than 200 hours of hands-on activities; 35 kilos of plasticine used by budding engineers to design new tread patterns and 110 kilos of plaster of Paris for blossoming fresco painters inspired by their visit to the splendid Bicocca degli Arcimboldi building.
And there were also in-depth analyses of tyre history and technology, graphics and advertising, urban transformation, photography, and corporate cinema.
And what about older students? Lower and upper secondary school students had access to state-of-the-art chemical laboratories and the Pirelli R&D facilities. They learnt about archives by studying and interpreting historical source documents and were invited to design the factory of the future under the banner of sustainability.
This school year is over but we look forward to seeing you again in September with a programme packed with new workshops and activities.
