Education and school
Some of the initiatives promoted by the Rizzoli Education publishing house were:
- Inclusion, throughout production, of recurring fact sheets on the topics of the 2030 Agenda and related to civil education
- Consolidation of the strong partnership with Erickson, a leading publisher in the dissemination of topics related to inclusivity for primary and first-level secondary schools
- “Equality Objective" for primary schools: supervision, by gender educators, of passages, illustrations and language used, to ensure gender-balanced representation
- Launch of the “Manifesto per la parità di genere e pluralità” (see section on "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion"): a project that promotes the themes of gender equality, multi-culture, new models of families and inclusion. The project included internal training dedicated to news desks and a cycle of free events for teachers
The two publishing houses of the Mondadori Group have also significantly enriched the product range of HUB Scuola, the platform dedicated to digital teaching, complementing the offer with new tools and content for integrated digital teaching, while investing in user support services.
Specifically, the offering of lesson plans and digital lessons was completed, through the inclusion of numerous learning paths that integrate digital resources and materials from published textbooks. Equally wide, in terms of educational coverage, is the proposal from HUB Test, which allows tests on almost all the topical areas covered, thanks to the presence of 60 subjects and over 55,000 questions available, for teachers and students. To facilitate access to content, efforts focused on everyday tools and platforms such as smartphones, QR-codes, Google Forms, Google Drive, and YouTube.
Additionally, the knowledge-base of HUB Scuola was developed and reorganized to cover an increasing number of aspects in support of users and a virtual assistant solution was adopted, a tutorial bot, that is, a virtual tutor able to support and guide users in the use of the main features of the platform.
The initiatives promoted by the Mondadori Education publishing house include:
- “La Lettura al centro” project: a complete set of proposals and tools to make reading central to teaching activities in all schools. The project also includes the initiative “Gli scrittori fanno scuola”, developed in association with Mondadori Ragazzi
- “#Leparolechesiamo, la scuola che vogliamo” project, implemented in 2021, which led schools throughout the country to consider and work on issues of innovation, sustainability and inclusion, with particular attention to gender equality
