Stellantis: 700 students attend Future Days, with a focus on STEM subjects

Over 700 Year 9 pupils from seven schools in Turin, accompanied by around 100 teachers, took part in Future Days 2026 at the Heritage Hub in Turin – a career guidance programme focusing on STEM subjects, supported by Stellantis Philanthropy and organised in partnership with Next Level.

The students spoke with John Elkann, Chairman of Stellantis; Emanuele Cappellano, Head of Stellantis’ European operations, European brands and Pro One; Santo Ficili, Head of the Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands; and Paola Baratta, Head of the Battery Technology Centre in Mirafiori. They discussed key issues for the future of the younger generation, ranging from skills to technology, from artificial intelligence to entrepreneurship, right through to the value of relationships, the ability to adapt and the courage needed to forge one’s own path.

“In a rapidly changing world, technical expertise is essential, but it is not enough on its own. You need curiosity, the ability to listen and a willingness to get involved alongside others. No major project is the work of a single person: that is why I hope these young people will find good allies along their journey and, in turn, become a point of reference for those they meet,” said Cappellano. Future Days forms part of the Stellantis Philanthropy programme, which brings together the company’s initiatives dedicated to education, inclusion and community development.
The Turin event kicks off the 2026 national calendar. By November, further Future Days events will be organised across Italia in the regions where Stellantis plants are located.
