The Guidarello Prize for Author Journalism is an award presented annually by the Municipality of Ravenna and Confindustria to the journalist who particularly distinguished himself in the last calendar year. The Guidarello Giovani Award brings schools in touch with local businesses. The 18th edition of the Guidarello Giovani Prize, named after the Ravenna journalist Lorenzo Tazzari, involved 350 students and 15 classes from high schools in the province of Ravenna.
The project involved visiting the students in some local companies, and the Itway Group was happy to host them in its Ravenna headquarters. The objective was to make reportages telling about the activities of the companies visited through the communication tools they considered most suitable. We presented our most innovative area to the students: ICOY, artificial intelligence at the service of safety in the workplace.
The prize for the best report in digital format went to class 4°A SIA of the ‘Oriani’ technical institute in Faenza with a paper on the Itway Group.
We are very proud to have participated in this initiative, which is part of the project ‘Talking to the future about the future’.
‘For us, these moments of exchange with the Schools are fundamental,’ says Group Chairman G. Andrea Farina, who continues, ‘young people are the key to our development, and getting young people into our schools is vital lymph for the growth not only of the territory but also of our country. ‘Our duty is to educate young people on safety in the workplace and above all to make workplaces safe places to work’.
The Liceo scientifico ‘Oriani’ of Ravenna won the 2024 edition of the Guidarello Giovani by winning the prize for the text-format reportage. The work, which turned out to be the best overall, was produced by class 4°D, which visited the Rosetti Marino company.
The jury, led by Stefano Gismondi, president of the training organisation Il Sestante Romagna, gave the following reasons for their choice: ‘The work deserved the highest score for its ability to tell a meaningful company story, which not only highlights values and objectives, but also involves the reader in the human and operational journey that has made the company a success. The reportage went beyond the simple description of company facts, managing to convey the authenticity and emotion that make the company an example of excellence in the energy sector’.
The award ceremony took place at the Alighieri Theatre, where the young people listened to the testimony of the young actress from Ravenna, Ludovica Barbarito, star of the TV series ‘They Killed the Spider-Man – the Legendary Story of the 883’.
