Young people and businesses in dialogue in Milan for “The Economy of the Future”
How does the dialogue between young people and businesses change when students are not just spectators but become protagonists? The 2025 edition of The Economy of the Future, organised by Corriere della Sera, has chosen to open the stage to their questions, focusing on listening, discussion and shared responsibility. An experience that we have co-designed together with schools to offer young people an authentic space for participation and active citizenship. In Andrea Bonafede's article, published yesterday in L'Economia, there are previews of this special day and an account of the commitment of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, Knowledge Partner of the event, to enabling the younger generation to express their ideas, visions and questions about the world that awaits them. Inside, there is a short interview with Cecilia Stajano, Community Manager.
The schools involved
- Severi Correnti with headteacher Gabriella Maria Sonia Conte
- Carducci with headteacher Andrea di Mario
- Schiaparelli-Gramsci with headteacher Francesca Giuranna.
When the stage becomes a school. Young people and businesses in dialogue
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale brings a hundred students from three Milanese high schools to the Economia del Futuro audience. Eight of them will take on the role of journalists with the guest entrepreneurs. An exchange that is more necessary than ever.
