Motivate and guide the students of the IIS De Amicis-Cattaneo high school in Rome, with a discussion on self-awareness and future prospects. This is the goal of the corporate volunteering initiative that Q8 has carried out in partnership with United Way España. Experts from various fields met with three classes to share their educational, life, and professional experiences.

It was an important moment of inspiration for young students, who had the opportunity to interact with experts from various fields at a time in their lives when they begin to encounter significant opportunities and choices for the future. This fruitful and stimulating experience also proved enriching for the Q8 volunteers who participated in the initiative, providing them with a chance for personal growth and an opportunity to create social value for the community.

Q8 supports those searching for a path to their future. It demonstrated this commitment by participating in the STEM project for primary schools, carried out in partnership with United Way España, to guide elementary school children in discovering scientific subjects.

Q8 participated in the training session conducted by experts from the Digital Education Lab, which concluded with a workshop for three 5th-grade classes from the Quartaccio area of Rome. On this occasion, the volunteers visited the school to spend an afternoon with the children, collaborating with them to program a video game.

Q8 has always believed in people and their talents. That's why it decided to support the workshops of the #GiovaniO’Nest theater project, aimed at young people who want to engage with the performing arts. The theater group, established in 2016, consists of individuals under 25 from the local area and the eastern outskirts of Naples.

Located in the heart of San Giovanni a Teduccio, a neighborhood in the eastern part of Naples, the Nest Theater was once the gymnasium of an abandoned school. In 2006, it was transformed into the Nest, Napoli Est Teatro, a fully functioning theater with 99 seats, a 9x10 meter stage, a foyer, and a dressing room for artists. Today, the Nest hosts theatrical performances, cultural and musical events, photo shoots, courses, presentations, film screenings, theater rehearsals, setups, and exhibitions.

Q8 supports "GEA EDU - Ideas for the Future," a project promoted by Fondazione Art.49 and sponsored by MASE and ENEA, offering a free educational program to Italian schools. The program includes classroom lessons conducted by regular teachers during school hours. The initiative aims to foster a culture of participation, raising students' awareness of the ecological transition and empowering them to become active contributors. It provides valuable skills and information to encourage the adoption of good practices in daily life, promoting sustainability education and sustainable development.

Q8 contributed to expanding the number of beneficiaries of the initiative and created educational content with a video interview on the topic of hydrogen and energy transition. This commitment is directed not only towards students but also towards teachers and families, promoting sustainable behaviors for the environment in everyday life.

Q8 supports the educational project "Viva la Costituzione, la Costituzione è viva" and brings Italy's fundamental law into primary schools. The initiative, led by Fondazione Articolo49, leverages the 75th anniversary of the Italian Constitution to help today's children become proactive and informed citizens of tomorrow. It aims to familiarize them with the national and international institutions that uphold and protect the values of peace, democracy, and human dignity.

Q8 contributes to the development of young minds through insights on innovation and awareness. Thanks to its collaboration with Fondazione Articolo49, Q8 has brought an active vision of the future into Italian primary schools, aiming to turn today's children into the proactive and sustainable adults of tomorrow.
