Pirelli Foundation is alongside the world of school in this delicate moment in which it is necessary to accelerate the digital transformation process of the Italian school to respond to educational needs of the students. Pirelli Educational Foundation, the project aimed at schools that since 2013 has brought the Pirelli Foundation beyond 3000 guys to know the history and corporate culture of Pirelli, transforms and becomes even more “Digital” to be able to support schools through the creation and sharing of digital content for use by teachers and students.
In particular they have been prepared three thematic itineraries, accompanied by a brief "user guide", starting with the contents that the Pirelli Foundation already conveys with its educational program every school year and which will be sent in the next few days to teachers of schools/institutes throughout Italy and to those who request it directly .
All courses, which can be downloaded and shared with students, are structured in frontal moments, videos, podcasts, commented images, in-depth readings, listening to music, creative activities. The different contributions can be conveyed by the teachers to the students through the sharing platforms already in use by the teachers. Teachers can thus decide autonomously whether to share the complete path with the students, whether to divide the elements that compose it into "episodes" or whether to use only some elements.
for primary schools is presented the world of natural rubber, its origin, its characteristics, its uses, with particular attention to the tyre. Children will then be able to see and hear the stories born from the imagination of great artists who let themselves be inspired by this material, from the Salerno poet Alfonso Gatto to Bruno Munari, inventor of the foam rubber cat Meo Romeo for Pirelli.
With the students of lower secondary schools talk about the most important innovations introduced by Pirelli as part of the science and technology through a path that also addresses the digital robotics and the transformations of the world of industrial production.
To the boys of second grade secondary schools, some aspects of the are told sustainability concerning thetechnology but also ours economy and society. From the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals adopted by United Nations Member States to the natural rubber supply chain.
