“Words on the move”:
Launch of the 2023 event for young readers
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 will address this question on Thursday 23 November 2023 at 11 a.m. at the Pirelli HQ Auditorium. The event is being organised for lower secondary school children, who will discover 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 will be the conversation with Nicola Cinquetti and Davide Rigiani, winners of the 2023 Premio Campiello Junior. The educational role of literature in all its forms will be 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.
Admission is free, subject to availability. Booking required. Please write to scuole@fondazionepirelli.org.
Continuing the effort to promote reading among the young, the Campiello Junior is now entering its third consecutive year. The prize is the outcome of a partnership between the Fondazione Il Campiello and the Pirelli Foundation.
Pirelli Foundation Educational has also introduced two educational workshops for young readers: Poesie elastiche (“Elastic Poems”) for primary schools, and Nota e annota (“Look up – Write down”) for lower secondary school students.
