The award ceremony for the second edition of “progettoDiventerò nel Mondo”, an initiative promoted by Fondazione Bracco in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, took place at the Consulate General of Italy in New York.
This project aims to promote scientific literacy, an interest in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), gender equality and global citizenship, engaging students at Italian schools abroad in activities focused on creativity, research and in-depth study.
“Italy is a country where the education system works exceptionally well: you grow and acquire skills. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation devotes resources and attention to the Italian education system around the world and, thanks in part to its collaboration with leading organisations such as Fondazione Bracco, continues to enrich the educational journey of many talented young people”, said Giuseppe Pastorelli, Consul General of Italy in New York.
The event provided an opportunity to introduce the younger generation to the work of researchers, demonstrating how curiosity, determination and a passion for knowledge can lead to career paths and opportunities for innovation.
