Thanks to the generosity of our students' families, on the occasion of the Race Against Hunger Our institute has managed to donate over 3 thousand euros!

The project

It is free and open to primary schools and lower and upper secondary schools, promoted by Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation that has been operating in development cooperation for over 40 years.

Every year, volunteers tackle the theme of hunger in classrooms, exploring its causes and consequences by focusing on a specific country where the organisation operates. 

The project league Sport and solidarity with the aim of making students more responsible by enriching their skills related to Civic Education, as required by the Ministry.

The Race Against Hunger involves students by making them active participants in the learning process, with an innovative model of accountability.

Following registration, each institution receives all the necessary materials to organise the project free of charge, including: a solidarity passport for each registered student; a race bib for each registered student; a fundraising envelope for each registered student.

How does running work?

The boys are committed to running laps and, before the initiative, Families are invited to pledge 1 euro per lap to the student., Later, the student manages to complete 4 laps, for which the family will give him 4 euros. Finally, the student takes the collected donations back to school.

And so it happened in our Institute as well, where primary and lower secondary school children participated to help malnourished children in poorer countries.

A great experience of solidarity which touched the sensibilities not only of the children but also of mothers, fathers, grandparents, and aunts who “rewarded” the effort and made their contribution.
