We offer training paths and projects for students, teachers, and educational communities, with the goal of building a fairer and more inclusive school together.

Supporting
education in
Italian schools

We believe that school is not just a place of instruction, but also a space for growth, relationships, and awareness. Our training programs stem from the direct experience of our Schools and are designed to bring into Italian schools and all educational communities the same values that guide us every day: equity, participation, critical thinking, and responsibility. We offer training paths and projects for students, teachers, and educators, with the goal of building a fairer, more inclusive school that is capable of responding to today’s challenges.

The INSIEME Project

INSIEME is an educational program designed for 8 to 16 year olds in schools, educational institutions, and associations to explain the Still I Rise educational model and raise awareness about migration, reception, child labor, and the right to education. In line with our mission, it supports educators and promotes social understanding and responsibility.

INSIEME has three modules. The first module is called Information and is targeted at educators. The second module is called Raising Awareness and is targeted at students and educators. The third module is called Projects and encourages students and their educators to choose one of three distinct practical projects: Reading, Photography and Citizenship that seek to actively engage students in these critical issues.

Reading

By choosing the Reading project, educators can introduce students to one of Nicolò Govoni's books, with options available for different age groups: "Bianco come Dio," "Se fosse tuo figlio," and "Fortuna" for secondary schools, e "Ogni cambiamento è un grande cambiamento" for primary schools. Educators will receive materials to introduce the author and his books, adapting the pace of reading to the group. At the end, resources will be provided for a reflection session and a hands-on activity to help students internalize the book's message.

Ikigai

By choosing the Ikigai Project, educators and students embark on a journey of self-discovery inspired by the Still I Rise educational approach. The project guides participants to reflect on what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can commit to: the four pillars of ikigai, the “reason for being.” Through hands-on activities, meaningful discussions, and practical tools, students and teachers will explore the idea of both personal and collective fulfillment, learning to connect passion, talent, and social impact. The goal is to foster the growth of conscious, resilient young people who are motivated to build their future with purpose and responsibility.

Citizenship

By choosing the Citizenship project, educators and students will practice being active and aware citizens, fighting prejudice, promoting diversity and caring for the environment. Students will collaborate on a project to improve the local community, inspired by examples from our International School in Kenya, gaining skills to have a positive social impact.

Teacher Training Programs

We organize training and professional development courses designed for teachers, educators, or anyone interested in exploring our educational philosophy and approach to schooling. In doing so, we offer support to a new generation of enlightened teachers, tired of an outdated school system and chronically ignored by institutions, laying the foundation for a more effective, more humane, and better School.

Partner schools

We have proudly collected the work of teachers and students who participated in our training programs or in the INSIEME Project. These educational experiences were created within Italian schools, from primary to secondary, that chose to bring Still I Rise’s values, methods, and pedagogical proposals into the classroom. Each project tells a small part of the change we dream of: classes reflecting on justice, students questioning the world and their role within it, and teachers experimenting with new ways of educating for freedom, empathy, and responsibility.
