TORINO (ITALPRESS) – Starting from the planetarium of Turin the second edition of “Sogna e credeci fino ai Stelle”, the educational project of Pan di Stelle realized in collaboration with the agency of communication and D&F training body. The initiative aims to involve teachers and students of about 3000 classes of primary school throughout Italy through a training course with targeted teaching activities through which teachers can stimulate the importance of dreams in personal development and invite each child and child to find, pursue and share their dreams, as stars who guide in search of their aspirations. Through a call of participation, moreover, is previewed the assignment of a special “Aula dei sogno”, a space enriched with musical instruments, books and creative materials, conceived and donated by Pan di Stelle to give the schools an environment dedicated to dreams, comparison and passions. “The second edition of the Sogna project and believe us to the stars – says Chiara Pisano, Marketing Director Pan di Stelle – confirms how fundamental it is to put children’s dreams at the centre of educational experience. Through the dream classrooms and dedicated activities, the project transforms the school into a stimulating space, where children can express creativity and collaboration. Education thus becomes a concrete tool to cultivate trust, resilience and imagination. In this sense, the project not only celebrates children’s dreams, but places them at the heart of a personal and collective growth path, demonstrating how schools can inspire and guide new generations towards the future.” Immersed in the backdrop of the Turinese hill, the INFINI.TO planetarium hosted the presentation of the new project and the exhibition “I Sogni Pan di Stelle”, which collected the aspirations and fantasies of the little ones, expressed during the first edition of the initiative. “The results of the project – says Matteo Lancini, psychologist and psychotherapist – testify that girls and children have more and more need to live the school not as a simple learning place of subjects, but as an expression space of themselves. When pupils and pupils feel authentically heard by the teacher and peers, they experience a relational experience based on their current and future identity. To this should tend the school: to help the new generations to express their own emotions and the most authentic parts of themselves, not so much transferring knowledge, but developing the skills to build the society of tomorrow. The six thousand dreams collected in 2025 show that it is possible to transform the classroom into a place of deep relationship: an educational model that deserves to be extended also to higher school orders.” This year there are also two meetings with the Dreamers of this edition to inaugurate two new Aules of Dreams. In March, in fact, the Olympic champion gymnast Alice D’Amato will return to his school of Genoa telling his own path, while in Valenzano, in the province of Bari, the dancer Mattia Zenzola, known for his participation in Friends, will share his personal and professional experience. An experience already experienced in the previous edition by physics Linda Raimondo in Almese, in the province of Turin: “To return to my old school with Pan di Stelle – said Raimondo – was an incredible moment, full of emotions, memories and dreams shared with children today. It was a precious exchange that made us feel under the same sky of hopes and desires. I am happy to be able to pass the rudder to the new Dreamers, who will continue to make the new generations dream, and even more exciting to do so in the frame of the planetarium of Turin, to which I am very tied”. From 22 January to 20 May 2026, teachers of primary schools from all over Italy will be able to enroll their classes free of charge to the projecteducational “Dream and believe to the stars” to receive the dedicated didactic kit, consisting of a guide for the teacher and a series of support slides, developed with the supervision of psychologist Matteo Lancini and the contribution of a team of teachers. The proposed activities allow to integrate the hours of Civic Education with paths aimed at developing fundamental cross-compete skills: from divergent thinking, which enhances diversity, uniqueness and imagination, motivation and commitment; from acceptance of failure and resilience to self-knowledge, to foster awareness of their inclinations and aspirations as the basis of personal growth. Each dream sent will allow you to participate in the final extraction, which will award a special dream classroom, on the model of those donated to the primary schools of the two Dreamers. A space that can be very important, as testified by Paola Marchese, Dirigente Scolastica del Settimo Circolo Didattico “Salvatore Di Giacomo” of Giugliano in Campania in Campania, in the province of Naples, school winner in 2025 of an Aula dei Sogni, obtained thanks to the loading of the dreams of his students on the dedicated online platform: “Participating in the project – Marchese commented – was an exciting and unique experience. The greatest joy is to see our students live the Dream Hall daily, a multifunctional space where they can read, draw, deepen scientific subjects and share significant experiences. Every day the classroom welcomes their wishes and contributes to their formative success, educating them to beauty, a fundamental necessity for our community.” Last year, more than 5,000 dreams were collected at the national level, offering a significant split of the imagination of children between 6 and 11 years. Almost half of them concern professional aspirations, and amongst the most popular crafts are footballer, teacher, police officer, astronaut and doctor. More than 20 percent dwell on the family’s affective sphere while 16 percent concern more abstract and collective values such as the end of wars and the desire for a more environmentally friendly world, free from poverty, bullying and inequalities.
