Ready to Launch: “The Workshop of Ideas,” a New Pirelli Foundation Educational Programme
As the new school year approaches, Pirelli Foundation Educational is preparing to resume its education courses for primary and secondary schools. This year’s programme, entitled “The Workshop of Ideas”, invites students to engage with Pirelli’s business culture, helping them develop a deeper understanding of the world of work, which is one of people, processes and products, but especially one of thoughts and ideas.
The workshop has always been a unique space throughout the company’s history. It is a place where practical tasks are performed, demanding not only technical expertise but also creativity, intelligence, and passion. The new educational programme aims to enhance young people’s understanding of industrial production and the world of work in general, while also firing their imagination. By drawing on the vast collection of sketches, documents, photographs, and audio-visual materials in the Pirelli Historical Archive, students will be encouraged to think up and bring to life their own creative projects.
Sustainability, innovation and technological development, business history, and graphic and visual communication are just some of the subjects that will be covered in the free training workshops. The sessions will be held either in person at the Pirelli Foundation headquarters in Milan or live online.
A special focus will be placed on Pirelli’s historically close ties with sport in all its forms, highlighting the shared values that are found in both sport and business culture. Drawing on the content of The Sports Workshop, the Pirelli Foundation’s new publishing project, and on the newly curated exhibition on display on its premises, we will explore such themes such as teamwork, power and control, passion, and innovation. The workshops will also look at stories of champions, challenges, victories, and much more.
This year, there will be two opportunities to learn more about the content of the educational courses and how to sign up for them. You can choose between two online meetings, on 18 or 24 September, both starting at 5 p.m. To take part in the online presentation (via Microsoft Teams), click HERE. Registration is now open (booking required).
