The third edition of “A scuola d'impresa” is kicking off; the initiative born from a collaboration between Museimpresa, LIUC and the Industrial Cinema and Business Communication Archive.Fondazione MAIRE – ETS and the MAIRE Group are participating for the second consecutive year, making the Group’s engineering heritage available to students.

The third edition of the project“A scuola d’impresa. L’Italia nei nostri musei e archivi d’impresa” [“At business school. Italy in our museums and business archives"] kicked off on 26 November 2025. The initiative was born from collaboration between Museimpresa, LIUC Carlo Cattaneo University with its Heritage Hub and the Industrial Cinema and Business Communication Archive.

“A scuola d’impresa” It is an entirely Italian initiative aimed at students in their final three years of secondary school, across all fields of study. It is designed and certified as a training course and orientation program. In its second edition, for the 2024-2025 school year, the project involved 1.250 students, 46 schools and 41 museums and business archives. The third edition is dedicated to the 2025-2026 school year and once again features the members of Museimpresa, of which we are part.

The educational format consists of two phases. The first is theoretical, involving 25 hours of online training for all students in the target classes of participating institutions. The second phase is practical and experiential: each member will host one of the classes involved in the project at their company headquarters or museum for a day of training.

At the end of the second phase, each participating class will have to carry out a “project work”: a video product through which to tell the story of the company visited, unleashing their creativity. The group project will also allow students to familiarize themselves with the operational and organizational issues of a real working environment and explore the theme of preserving and enhancing corporate memory. All videos will be uploaded and available on the LIUC platform.

The aim of the initiative is to spread basic knowledge of the history of Italian business and its values, and to raise awareness of corporate museums and archives through objects, documents, inventions, and stories that bear witness to the country's enterprising spirit, evolution, and corporate culture.

The appointment with us will be in February 2026: Fondazione MAIRE – ETS will host class 4 of Liceo Alessandro Volta in Milan at the MAIRE headquarters in Milan, allowing students to see firsthand the ancient work tools and some models from the MAIRE historical archive and learn about the history of the evolution of engineering design of a plant through the history of the Group. Stay tuned to discover more!
