The project envisaged the participation of the Foundations in the two stages of the Student Fair in Milan and Monza, an event that every year sees the participation of over ten thousand high school students, the creation of seven career guidance salons in seven provinces of Lombardy which and finally a targeted communication campaign, with the creation of a new web portal and the opening of social channels on Facebook and Instagram.
