Comments
Lucia Borgonzoni, Undersecretary of Culture, commented in connection during the award ceremony:
There is nothing more exciting than seeing young people try their hand at shaping their creative ideas. It is commendable that a large and recognized company such as Samsung decides to involve students of artistic and graphic high schools with a contest, rewarding the best at making customized panels. As a Ministry we strongly focus on creativity, but above all on the possibility that young people can express themselves at their best in their multiple genius. This is why we are working on specific aid for creative businesses, but above all on the enhancement of young people, from their training to entering the world of work. Art, such as design, music, fashion, theater, penalized by the pandemic crisis can be the driving force for not only cultural but also business revival of our country.
The choice to promote “BESPOKE – BeCreative” stems from Samsung’s desire to continue to support the vision of Samsung’s Global Corporate Citizenship with concrete actions, linked to the concept of “Enabling People” (“Enable people”). The initiative is in fact part of a broader context of educational programs in the field of digital training, in which Samsung has been investing in Italy for over 10 years, with several projects focused on digital and transversal skills such as the very recent Growing Digital Citizens, remote Smart Learning projects, Samsung SolveforTomorrow and Samsung Innovation Campus, dedicated to high school and university students.
Giovanni Barina – Vice President, Head of Human Resources, General Affairs and CSR di Samsung Electronics Italia, spiega:
One of our goals is to support training, enhance talents, inspire young people and facilitate their entry into the job market, so we are enthusiastic about the path followed by all the young people involved in this project.
Exceptional partners of the initiative were some of the main ones Fine Arts Academies of Italy, who actively participated both in the role of “coach” of the young people involved, and in the selection of the works they created. Under the supervision of professors from leading academies, the students faced a real mentoring process on the academic and professional opportunities in the world of art and graphics that await them at the end of their studies, receiving advice and testimonials from experts in the field, as well as useful advice for creating their works.
Finally Fabio Moretti, President of the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, says:
This initiative was born with the aim of giving a positive signal to the world of art which has been greatly affected by the pandemic. The project carried out with Samsung is an excellent example of how art can contaminate itself with the corporate world and celebrate creativity and Italianness from the point of view of the new generations.
