Maglificio Gran Sasso and Liceo Scientifico “Antonio Orsini” in Ascoli Piceno have embarked on a joint initiative aimed at promoting a culture of environmental and social sustainability among the younger generation, with a view to fostering partnership between business and education.
The initiative, which began in recent months with the first meetings held in the classrooms of the high school, stems from a shared desire to stimulate awareness among young people of the value of environmental and social responsibility, guiding them on a journey of discovery and awareness of how these values can be translated into specific, everyday habits.
The initial meetings between the students and representatives of Maglificio Gran Sasso aroused great interest and engagement among the former, prompting a desire to expand the scope of the project by offering students the opportunity to gain direct, on-site experience.
The initiative, aimed at third- and fourth-year classes for a total of about 300 students, includes meetings with company representatives, guided tours of Maglificio Gran Sasso's headquarters, and the creation of a final project that will allow participants to rework, in a personal and creative way, the content of the project and the values they have learned.
Through its collaboration with Liceo Scientifico “Orsini”, Maglificio Gran Sasso confirms and reinforces its commitment to the local area, renewing its dialogue with educational institutions and the younger generation, considered a strategic resource for the continuity and evolution of Italian know-how.
Such commitment is part of the company's broader approach aimed at combining tradition, innovation, and responsibility, the pillars that the company has adopted.
The project is fully included among the initiatives described in Maglificio Gran Sasso's Sustainability Report. In 2024 alone, the company provided 1,825 hours of training, distributed across different areas and professional levels, dedicated to topics such as technical updates, professional skills qualification, the development of transferable skills, and raising awareness of sustainability and social responsibility issues.
With this in mind, Maglificio Gran Sasso has been strengthening its dialogue with local schools and universities, with the aim of promoting generational change and the passing of craftsmanship, which has always made Italian manufacturing stand out and which still represents the core identity of the company.
