Education: a fundamental human right. But the last school reform in Italy was decades ago.
We talked about it with the writer Marcello Fois, interviewed by Benedetta Miarelli of Studenti.it.
Education, like parenthood, is a relationship between generations, where the “old” and the “new” meet. It is a crucial moment, an ongoing process that transforms the young people of today into the main protagonists of our tomorrow.
But it is a system that needs to be constantly rethought, improved and revolutionised. Education cannot and must not be relegated to the sidelines or even the background, as it is the foundation of our society.

What has Mondadori Retail achieved in 2023 and what are the plans for 2024? Carmine Perna, CEO, met virtually with colleagues from the head office and booksellers from all Mondadori stores to share data and future strategies. It was an opportunity to highlight the evolution that our retail division has experienced over the past year, recording its best performance since 2015.
At the heart of this growth are our bookstores throughout Italy, which play a fundamental role in the dissemination of culture thanks to the wide range of titles on offer, the cultural events organised and the expertise of the booksellers and librarians. The development of our bookstores, both direct and affiliated, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to improving and expanding our presence in the territory, offering an increasingly attentive service to our readers.
We will also continue to invest in improving the customer experience through an increasingly omni-channel approach aimed at more relevant, timely and personalised communication.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Gruppo Mondadori wants to reflect on the importance of gender equality and its value in organisations and in our society.

In recent years, we have witnessed an explosion of issues related to diversity, equality and inclusion, concepts that are intrinsic to the human condition. But we also know how real the risk of exclusion and marginalisation is, because the encounter with the ‘other’ triggers strong and often uncontrollable reactions.
In his book, Daniele Regolo, who has been hearing impaired since early childhood, invites us to update our perspective: only by starting from an analysis of inner speech can we adopt a more adult approach to diversity and thus plan truly inclusive actions.
How? By working tirelessly to break down all kinds of barriers, whether physical or cultural, instinctive or deliberate.

The editors of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni, Chi, Focus and Focus Junior presented the values and future strategies of our editorial brands by interacting with an extraordinary mediator: artificial intelligence.
This took place on Tuesday 30th January during the evening “Live Vision – the future of the brands”, an event organised by Piemme Media Platform, the exclusive distributor of the editorial brands, and Mondadori Media.
Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni, Chi, Focus and Focus Junior were the focus of interviews conducted by the talents of the TAAG! agency with the help of artificial intelligence. The conversations with the editors highlighted the importance of moving towards a greater enhancement of content with a multi-channel approach: from magazines to digital platforms, from events to talent.

Diversity, especially in the workplace, is often hidden for fear of direct and discriminatory attacks and is still experienced negatively, but is it really still the case? How can we create a respectful and psychologically safe working environment?
