Back for the fourth edition is Sky Inclusion Days, Sky Italia's event dedicated to the themes of inclusion and the valorisation of differences, to be held on 27 May at Sky Campus, Sky Italia's new home in Milan.

Over the course of the day, numerous guests from different fields will take turns: from institutions to culture, from cinema and entertainment to sport. For this new edition, Sky chooses to focus on trust, an increasingly topical and relevant theme in everyday life. Reflecting on this concept means questioning what holds relationships together, strengthens communities and contributes to building a more inclusive society.

Different stories and experiences will intertwine on stage, such as that of Luca Argentero, who will talk about the activities of 1 Caffè Onlus, a reality committed to supporting small and medium-sized Italian non-profit organisations through the dissemination of the culture of giving, together with the general manager Silvia Meacci.

Professor Roberto Vecchioni will accompany the audience with a reflection on mental health issues, with a special focus on the youngest. Starting with the theme of trust, he will recall the importance of asking for help, being listened to and overcoming stigma. A commitment that is also reflected in the activities of the foundation established in his son's name.

Awareness-raising against gender violence and support for victims will be the focus of the meeting with Jo Squillo, founder of Wall of Dolls Onlus, an organisation committed to these issues, who will be accompanied by Michelle Masullo, with whom she forms the couple 'The DJs' in the current edition of Beijing Express. Together they will also offer a special musical performance.

There will also be a look at the future of storytelling with Giuseppe De Bellis, Executive Vice President Entertainment, Sport and News of Sky Italia, and Ferzan Ozpetek, one of the most awarded and recognised directors, screenwriter and writer on the contemporary Italian scene.

A discussion on how the languages and forms of storytelling are evolving, between new technologies, cultural transformations and the increasingly direct relationship with the audience.

The transformations of the world of work will instead be the focus of the meeting with Maccio Capatonda and Francesca Manili Pessina, Executive Vice President People, Organisation & Facility Management of Sky Italia. Through the unmistakable irony of Maccio, protagonist of the film Smart Working - to be released by Vision Distribution next 4 June in theatres - and the contribution of Francesca Manili Pessina on the new ways of collaboration and professional autonomy, the dialogue will offer a reflection on how technology and work are changing everyday life.

Ample space will also be devoted to the youngest, with a focus on bullying, cyberbullying and social isolation. In the meeting with Mattia Stanga and Elisa Maino, The Creators competing in Beijing Express, who make social media their job, we will reflect on the profound impact that digital identity can have on real life.

This is also the context for the talk by rapper and singer-songwriter BigMama, one of the most recognisable voices on the new Italian music scene, who will address the themes of judgement, the weight of words and the importance of asserting oneself.

Matteo Lee, an amateur chef competing on the latest season of MasterChef Italia, will talk about how cooking and the experience of the programme has influenced his way of experiencing sharing and relationships.

A special musical moment is expected with Rob, winner of X Factor 2025. Then a meeting with the Bambole di Pezza, who will talk about what it means to be a female rock band in the Italian music industry, addressing the issue of gender equality and bringing their energy to the Sky Campus stage.

Sport will be another thread running through the day. A moment will be dedicated to the commitment in the world of sport and social issues with Pippo Galliano, founder of the Para Padel Project, an initiative that uses padel as a tool for rehabilitation, inclusion, and sociability, with the aim of offering new opportunities to people with spinal cord injury, also through the donation of sports wheelchairs. The discussion will be attended by Paolo Maldini, in support of the project.

The Sky Inclusion Days will be a day "to tell the story of inclusion starting from people, their stories and the often complex paths they go through," comments Sarah Varetto, Executive Vice President Communications. "Not an abstract story, but a concrete one, made up of experiences capable of speaking to each one of us. Because it is everyone's personal experiences, challenges and achievements that make inclusion something real, close and possible".
