We are proud to share with our families the success of the charity basketball tournament organized yesterday by MYP5 student Arthur Pelizari, as part of his Personal Project.
This initiative transformed a personal passion into a meaningful experience for our school community, bringing together sport, social engagement, and core values such as solidarity, inclusion, and empathy. The tournament was not only a sporting event, but a powerful example of active citizenship.
Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of students and guests, the event raised funds to support research on rare genetic diseases. All proceeds will be donated to Fondazione Telethon, an organization that plays a vital role in advancing scientific research and supporting families affected by these conditions.
A particularly impactful aspect of the event was the inclusion of wheelchair basketball teams, which made the tournament an important opportunity to promote awareness, inclusion, and understanding through sport, demonstrating how athletics can break down barriers and bring people together.
Congratulations to Arthur for his vision, commitment, and maturity, and thank you to everyone who contributed to making this initiative such a meaningful success.
