Education to sustainability
Maglificio Giordano’s has also proudly taken part in the second edition of the project “EcoStyle and Green Food. Every action counts!”, an educational path involving more than 600 second grade students of the region to learn more about the impact of plastics in fashion and food industries.
Promoted by Pro Loco Prealpi Consortium, this project has created an important opportunity for dialogue between schools, firms and communities, raising new generations awareness about sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Open firm for new generations: sharing our values and know-how
During this initiative we hosted several groups of students, accompanying them in the discovery of our work and the value we give to quality, attention to details and responsible production on a daily basis.
It has been to us an important moment of confrontation, during which we had the possibility to explain what creating knitwear garments with know-how, passion and respect for the product means, transmitting to young people the importance of the choices that stand behind every production process
Young students’ words: the most important reward
Among the most meaningful gratifications of this experience it’s the statement of the young winners with the project “LET’S MEND THE PLANET”, who said they’ve been impressed by the care and attention they observed during their visit to our knitwear factory.
They won the first prize for their original message and the powerful visual metaphor: through the image of sustainability thread and needle, we can mend the Earth and have a chance for a future of rebirth and hope.
Knowing that our daily commitment has been perceived and appreciated by new generations makes us extremely proud and validates the importance of a meeting between schools and the world of business.
Closing night dedicated to the future
The project closing night, that has taken place in the Banca Prealpi SanBiagio Auditorium in Tarzo, celebrated the students’ path through moments of dialogue, deepening and the award ceremony.
The delivery of the prize by our knitwear factory has been particularly meaningful, at an event with important national and international guests, committed in environmental sustainability.
Every action truly counts
What will stay with us of this experience is mostly young people’s enthusiasm and their capability of consciously deal with complex subjects, which are crucial for our planet’s future.
We thank the Pro Loco Prealpi Consortium and the project coordinators, Ketty Gallon, Silvia Gasparetto and Angela Gatti, for having involved us in an initiative with such an educative and social value.
As a factory, we believe sustainability is not only a production choice, but also a cultural path to build with new generations. That’s the reason why we are glad of having given our contribution to a project that, in a simple and effective manner, reminds us that every action counts.
