Project Eskills4Change, which is part of the global YouthSpark Programme, is promoted by Microsoft and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to provide 10,000 young Italians - especially women in Southern Italy - with the opportunity to study and find employment.
In the coming months, students from 34 schools in 10 Italian Regions will compete to create innovative and universally accessible technological solutions that will help simplify the lives of people and provide answers to social emergencies in local contexts.
The training sessions begin today in Rome. Two classes from the IIT Livia Bottardi School will attend four hours of activities: Making and Fab Lab with Daniele Vigo, and the Computer Lab with Lara Forgione.
Tomorrow, classes from two other schools – the Nettuno Emanuela Loi School and IIS Lombardo Radice in Rome – will be at the Computer Lab with Lara Forgione and Valentina Gelsomini.
