Words On The Move 2023
a game that starts from school

Reading is a journey. We find our own emotions, and we explore amazing places, individuals, and stories in the pages of a novel and in the lines of a poem. And we are taken on countless adventures that enrich our minds. Schools play a pivotal role in sparking and nurturing a fondness for books from a very early age. But how does a story come to life?

The Pirelli Foundation has addressed this question on Thursday 23 November 2023, at the Pirelli HQ Auditorium. The event has been organised for lower secondary school children, who discovered how to find inspiration, and how to work on ideas and bring the characters from their imagination to life, by playing games based on their reading habits.

A key part of the event has been the conversation with Nicola Cinquetti and Davide Rigiani, winners of the 2023 Premio Campiello Junior. The educational role of literature in all its forms has been discussed together with Antonio Calabrò, director of the Pirelli Foundation, Alessandra Tedesco, a Radio 24 journalist, and Pino Boero, the new President of the Campiello Junior Jury.
