The president of the Scintille di Futuro Foundation, Pietro Grasso, meets the students of the city’s high schools at the University of Teramo, to answer young people’s questions on the mafia, legality and the Constitution, as part of the initiative “Pages of legality, examples of citizenship”, spin off of the Conad Ets Foundation School Project, created with Unisona. The initiative took place today at the conclusion of the project with which the foundation chaired by Grasso has developed an in-depth program divided into training webinars dedicated to high school teachers throughout Italy, which started last January 31st, to provide teachers the tools necessary to undertake a process of education on legality in the classroom.
Welcoming the students in the University’s main hall were the president of the Scintille di Futuro Foundation, Pietro Grasso, the director of the Conad Ets Foundation, Maria Cristina Alfieri, the CEO of Conad Adriatico, Antonio Di Ferdinando, the rector Dino Mastrocola, and the coordinator of the School of Legality and Justice of the University of Teramo, Fiammetta Ricci.
After today’s meeting in Teramo, the program will end on May 8th in Milan, having already included three other meetings in the schools of Parma, Perugia and Forlì (which were held respectively on March 19th, 5th and 8th last April), to dialogue directly with the classes of teachers who joined the project. Conad Ets Foundation is a third sector body established by Conad, the first Italian large-scale retail trade company.
“This meeting in our Aula Magna – underlined Mastrocola – is part of the activities of the School of Legality and Justice of the University of Teramo, established, the first in Italy, in 2018, in collaboration with the Falcone e Borsellino association, to encourage the promotion cultural, reflection and debate on the issues of legality and the fight against mafia”.
Grasso said he was “very happy to bring Scintille for schools, in many classes, because even from this small seed a new spring of legality can start”. For Di Ferdinando it is “a project that allows us to promote values of justice and civic responsibility, key aspects of our commitment to the communities in which we operate and of our continuous effort to create sustainable value for the future”.
