CATANIA (ITALPRESS) – An agreement was signed between UniCredit and the University of Catania to form the Social Change Managers of tomorrow: an “academic” alliance that evolves Road to Social Change, the project of UniCredit, in a unique laboratory of training and social innovation that will shortly be available for university students. Interlocutions are already under way to extend the agreement to other Sicilian universities.
Road to Social Change, organized by the Banking Academy of UniCredit, is the free path of training and cultural creation on Integral Sustainability aimed at strengthening an entrepreneurial culture that aims to link, intentionally, the sustainability strategy to business competitiveness and the creation of synergies with the territory. The participation in Road to Social Change is free and open to all, with particular attention to students, professionals and non-profit operators.
For young people it means enriching skills and entering a path that offers the possibility to learn the language of the future: integral sustainability. It is the alphabet with which tomorrow will be written and who knows it will have the keys in hand to write its first pages. Participating in Road to Social Change means not to remain spectators, but to become authors of change.
“Sicily is faced with important economic, social and environmental challenges. Through the Road to Social Change Program, UniCredit intends to provide concrete tools to successfully grasp these challenges, transforming them into opportunities – says Salvatore Malandrino, Regional Manager Sicilia of UniCredit –. In this context, collaboration with the academic world takes on a strategic importance, since it is able to value the skills and talent of the new generations, contributing to generate growth and competitiveness in the long term”.
For Enrico Foti, Rector of the University of Catania: “The agreement with UniCredit strengthens a central principle for the University of Catania: training is really completed when academic knowledge is accompanied by concrete experiences. Routes such as Road to Social Change allow our students to test skills and method, coming into direct contact with the business world. Studying and working in Sicily, this is the fundamental element of my program that we are also carrying out with initiatives like this. The company thus becomes a place to experiment and make innovation and application of university knowledge, while the University ensures a solid and conscious preparation. It is from this integration between study and experience that create professionalism capable of contributing to the sustainable development of the territory”.
