The Bracco Foundation and DeAScuola, in collaboration with the “100 women against stereotypes” project (#100esperte), have arranged a new multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral training course consisting of three webinars for teachers and one for students from junior and senior secondary schools.
Type: Youth
The Bracco Foundation is once again supporting the Ettore Pozzoli International Piano Competition, now in its 33rd edition. Instituted in 1959, the competition is being hosted in Seregno (Monza-Brianza), the native town of the illustrious Italian composer after whom the event is named.
“Mind the STEM Gap – Together” (30 June – 29 October 2023 at CDI-Centro Diagnostico Italiano, No 20 Via Sant Bon, Milan) is an exhibition of works produced by 150 students of both sexes participating in the “Mind the STEM Gap” Manifesto, an initiative run by Fondazione Bracco to encourage girls and women to transcend sexist stereotypes by entering and prospering in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Associazione Cielo Itinerante is an association that believes in free access to science, including for people living in difficult social circumstances, in which it is joined and supported by Fondazione Bracco.
Fondazione Bracco is lending its support to the 2023 Olimpiadi di Fisica [Physics Olympics], which will be held in Italy for the first time on the campus of Università Statale di Milano from 12 to 16 May 2023. The event has been organized by Associazione Italiana Studenti di Fisica [the Italian Physics Students Association (AISF)], whose object is the formation of community for the dissemination of this discipline.
After the success of the first three calls for projects for the promotion of inclusive education, Fondazione Bracco has launched a fourth call as part of its “Ora di scienza!” programme, the aim of which is to engender enthusiasm for science subjects in schools by arranging talks with women scientists and purtting forward ideas about possible new teaching methods and lessons, specifically:
In September 2022, as part of its ongoing long-term collaboration with Accademia Teatro alla Scala, Fondazione Bracco was the Main Partner for the production of The Secret Marriage, an “opera buffa” by the composer Domenico Cimarosa. Each year, the Academy of La Scala runs a project (Progetto Accademia) for the staging of a work by its young students that La Scala then includes in its main season.
In 2017 Bracco Foundation, in collaboration with CDI-Centro Diagnostico Italiano, is organising two exhibitions in the Milan clinic which has long been also a place for exhibitions.
After the success of the first two calls, which went out in 2020 as part of a drive for inclusive teaching at a time of great difficulty, the Bracco Foundation is now going forward with the 3rd edition of “Ora di scienza!” (‘Science Hour’), a project to bring stimuli and reliable and certified references into the classroom and to encourage the take-up of science in our society.
