Guidance: the new edition of the residential internship of the Me.Mo. (Merit and Social Mobility) project kicks off at the Sant'Anna School. A course to help students in their university choice

Wonder. Explore. Motivate. Orient. Around these four key concepts, the new edition of the residential internship of the Me.Mo. project (Merit and Social Mobility) kicks off. The initiative is promoted by the Sant'Anna School from Tuesday 7 to Thursday 9 May and is aimed at 120 female and male students in their fourth year of high school, selected on the basis of merit and origin from contexts of possible economic and social fragility. The objective of Me.Mo., a completely free orientation programme created in 2013, financed through PNRR resources and supported by the Fondazione Il Talento all'Opera Onlus and the Fondazione Bernardo Villa Gicaber Onlus, is to support students of merit from fragile socio-economic contexts (first generation students) towards a more informed university choice.

An immersive experience on the university campus

The programme of the three residential days has been designed to experience participatory lectures, workshop experiences, simulated tests for admission to university studies, and moments of open exchange with professors, influencers and prominent personalities, with the dual objective of sharing topical issues, but also of sharing one's own study and work paths.  An important element in achieving greater awareness of paths and choices lies in the possibility of seeing the university reality up close, experiencing the college and meeting researchers and students also during convivial moments.

The programme and the talk with Agnese Pini

The opening event is scheduled for Tuesday 7 May at 3pm, with institutional greetings by Sabina Nuti, Rector of the Sant'Anna School, and Patrizia Alma Pacini, President of the Fondazione Il Talento all'Opera Onlus, Nicola Vitiello, delegate of the Scuola Sant'Anna for social mobility and scientific head of the Wearable Robotics Laboratory, and Sara Barsanti, coordinator of the MeMo project, are also scheduled to speak.

One of the guests of the initiative will be Agnese Pini, journalist and director of QN, La Nazione, il Resto del Carlino, Il Giorno, who will meet the students in the talk 'The most informed generation in the history of humanity' scheduled for Wednesday 8 May at 6.30 pm. Director Pini will address the challenges of contemporary society, recounting her own experience as a university student, amidst choices and doubts, up to her current career path, highlighting the power and opportunities that information (and the language with which it is told) has on the new generations. The speech will be streamed live on the Sant'Anna SChool and QN YouTube channel.
