Since 1994, the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of Cremona, Free Association of Artisans, Industrial Association of Cremona, has been promoting the culture of creativity and innovation and helping young people recognize, cultivate and enhance their entrepreneurial aptitude.
Five high schools headquartered in Crema are involved (Technological Institute Liceo Scienze Applicate “Galilei,” Liceo “Munari,” Istituto “Pacioli,” Liceo “Racchetti-Da Vinci” and Istituto “Sraffa” including “Marazzi” section).
Students acquire the necessary method skills (strategic and organizational) to devise, plan, evaluate and implement a project.
After orientation, training and motivating, the projects from grades IV and V are selected and awarded.
