Among those participating in the 12th #RelayMilanoMarathon there were also #NoiDellaMondadori.

A group of colleagues took part in the non-competitive relay for charity organised as part of the Milan Marathon. 6 teams from the Mondadori Group took part in this initiative, each made up of four runners who took it in turns to cover the 42 km of the marathon through the streets of the city.

Through our participation, we have decided to once again support the LILT – Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori, and in particular the “Visite sospese” project: an initiative aimed at guaranteeing preventive medical check-ups to people in economic and social difficulties.

The relay is the heart of the Milano Marathon’s charity programme, which allows all participants to run for a non-profit organisation of their choice, helping to raise funds for the solidarity projects of around 100 participating associations.

Anyone can support the LILT programme: just take part in the fundraising on the Rete del Dono, www.retedeldono.it. Donations are anonymous and any amount is possible.

It is with great satisfaction that we announce that the Mondadori Group has obtained the UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification. The assessment, a result of a rigorous audit process carried out by Bureau Veritas, recognises our commitment to promoting inclusion and creating a working environment that respects and values gender diversity.

Among the most highly commended projects was the one on parenthood, which provides all new parents with concrete tools such as the parental kit and the counselling service, and the adoption of blind CVs – which do not contain sensitive data – in selection processes.

The gender equality certification is an important milestone in our Diversity & Inclusion journey, which began three years ago with the desire to promote an inclusive culture and ensure fair and transparent opportunities for all people within the company.

With this recognition, we have achieved one of the objectives of the Mondadori Group’s Sustainability Plan, but we will continue to work to ensure that everyone in our company always feels valued, respected and appreciated.

Can a video game help you learn?

The answer is yes, according to a study Deascuola conducted with Massimiliano Andreoletti, a professor at the Università Cattolica di Milano. Indeed, the research showed that video games can be used as innovative and inclusive tools for teaching in schools.

These reflections gave rise to “Ross e la Sgrammanebbia”, the video game launched by Deascuola in September 2022, which has proved to be a valuable tool for secondary school teachers. The use of this digital tool has increased students’ motivation, helped them to socialise and encouraged them to think, while consolidating their skills and having fun at the same time.

Indeed, the video game offers an exciting journey where narrative, didactic and playful moments alternate. Level after level, students face stimulating challenges and solve grammatical puzzles through small games of increasing difficulty.

Sara Bongiovanni is the winner of the twenty-first edition of “Il Battello a Vapore” literary prize, the prestigious award that over the years has made it possible to discover many of the most popular writers in the panorama of literature for girls and boys.

The author, a primary school teacher from Peveragno (CN), won the prize for her book “Ellie Ervin.

We animated the Vision Arena at IAB Italia with a packed agenda of meetings dedicated to the various facets of “Regeneration”, the theme chosen for the 2023 edition of the reference event for the world of marketing and digital communication in Italy.

We discussed the future of digital media and the importance of inclusion in the world of communication with Andrea Santagata, CEO of Mondadori Media, and Benedetta De Luca, Disability Advocacy and Gender & Inclusion Editor of The Wom.

Among the many activities, we organised thematic workshops and a series of panels with our brands The Wom and Webboh to explore issues related to the new generations.

Also at the IAB Forum, Mondadori Media announced two major innovations dedicated to Gen Z: Webboh Lab and Z Power.
The first is a permanent digital observatory to photograph Gen Z and get a closer look at their interests, thoughts and expectations. The second, created as a spin-off of the Power Talent Agency, is an agency of young creators who, thanks to their close relationship with Gen Z, will be an important point of contact for brands wishing to communicate with this audience.
