ACTIVITIES FOR SCHOOLS

The Foundation provides continuous support to schools, collaborating with local authorities to deliver educational workshops for students.

Since 1995, it has offered an educational programme spanning from primary to secondary education. Through direct contact with historical sites, archival documents, and material sources, the study of history, science, and culture is combined with practical activities and guided experiences led by scientific facilitators. Teachers can choose from various proposed workshops, which differ in topic, duration, and target age group. A small individual fee is required to participate in these initiatives.

As part of its educational activities for young people, the Foundation also offers courses dedicated to financial literacy and economic awareness. Integrating historical sources, educational methodologies, and tools such as historical-themed simulations and role-playing games, these initiatives involve secondary school students. The activities—delivered both within school settings and through local and national tournaments and workshops (some organized in collaboration with institutions such as the Bank of Italy)—aim to foster critical thinking and provide useful tools to interpret contemporary financial contexts.

In addition, the Scientific Director and members of the Scientific Committee are available to hold lectures and meetings within their specific fields of expertise for teachers and students of local schools.
