Exclusive Brands Torino also plays a leading role in the charity world, committing itself to its local area: the Network is one of the funding bodies for the third edition of Master Mëstè, a project run by the Cecilia Gilardi Foundation, and one of the supporters of the extraordinary financial support provided by the Paideia Foundation. The funding will be disbursed over two years, for a total of ten thousand euros for each project.
Master Mëstè is a project launched by the Cecilia Gilardi Foundation with the aim of training a new generation of artisans throughout Italy, providing them with practical and effective experience in finding employment. Now in its third edition, the initiative offers nineteen scholarships for under-35s to support a course of study consisting of 70 hours of classroom training and a six-month paid internship, from the end of September 2024 to March 2025, at companies and workshops in Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Liguria. Throughout the programme, scholarship recipients will be supported by a tutor (occupational psychologist) who will also act as an external evaluator and will be responsible for monitoring their progress and suggesting solutions to any critical issues. Exclusive Brands Torino’s funding will cover the costs of two scholarships. Exclusive Brands Torino’s funding will cover the costs of two scholarships.
With regard to Fondazione Paideia, Exclusive Brands Torino has decided to support the extraordinary financial aid project, through which the Foundation, by managing a dedicated fund, supports families with children with disabilities who find themselves in situations of greater economic hardship. This is achieved through targeted support measures that reduce the costs directly borne by the family for therapies, sports and recreational activities, and educational needs. Each family receives tailored support: the average annual contribution is €1,000 per family. Exclusive Brands Torino’s contribution could therefore guarantee the necessary support for around ten families over two years.
