'Stellantis Philanthropy': the company's community support programme starts in Italy and is set to expand globally

Il programma “Stellantis Philanthropy”, che riunisce per la prima volta le iniziative dedicate alle comunità in cui è presente, è stato presentato oggi a Torino in occasione dell'evento “Future Days”, il programma nazionale di orientamento alle materie scientifiche e tecnologiche (STEM) sostenuto da Stellantis in collaborazione con Next Level.
Il progetto italiano si delinea su tre azioni principali: promuove percorsi di scoperta e avvicinamento alle STEM co-progettati con docenti, divulgatori scientifici, aziende del territorio e ricercatori delle Università; offre mentoring e case management personalizzato agli studenti più vulnerabili, per accompagnarli in percorsi di orientamento e di messa a fuoco delle proprie capacità e aspirazioni; introduce un innovativo percorso di EduCoach, che accompagnerà 60 doce

DiNated in the Turin suburbs on the initiative of Next-Level, a third-sector organisation that has been promoting the right to study with innovative and interdisciplinary teaching methods for primary and secondary schools since 2014, the Future Days project almost naturally met with the support of Stellantis, which has committed to a three-year plan."
Xavier Chereau, Stellantis Chief Human Resources and Sustainability Officer, said "Stellantis Philanthropy mirrors who we are and what we believe in. By bringing together our Philanthropy, Motor Citizens and Student Awards initiatives under one shared identity, we confirm our deep commitment to valuing people and supporting education and social progress in all regions. It's about acting with purpose, staying humble and really making a difference, together."

Future Days focuses on education and orientation, with the aim of combating school drop-outs and accompanying students to discover the professions of the future, in any region of the world where there is a Stellantis plant. It is an innovative orientation course dedicated to STEM subjects, created to bring together territory, schools, institutions and the world of work, in a single integrated system The objective is to create a new educational ecosystem that, to date, has involved 2,500 students in 28 schools in 6 Italian regions where Stellantis is present, with the support of 150 trained teachers and 95 employees, volunteers in the Stellantis Motor Citizens programme, who have donated over 500 hours of their time.

Protagonisti dell'appuntamento torinese sono stati 700 ragazzi e ragazze di 7 scuole, che hanno incontrato oltre 30 professionisti del mondo dell'impresa, dello sport, della comunicazione e della creatività, in una sorta di Business Speed Date, breve, interattivo e fattuale. Tutti riuniti per rispondere a una domanda semplice e decisiva: come avete trovato il lavoro dei vostri sogni?
La giornata, condotta da Fabio De Vivo (Radio 101), ha avuto anche momenti collettivi di ispirazione e confronto tra generazioni, con la partecipazione attiva, tra gli altri, di Antonella Bruno (Managing Director di Stellantis Italia), di Jean Philippe Imparato (CEO Maserati), del Sindaco della Città di Torino, Stefano Lo Russo e di Elena Chiorino (Vicepresidente della Regione Piemonte). Anche il ministro dell'Istruzione e del Merito, Giuseppe Valditara, non ha fatto mancare il suo sostegno con un saluto

The event was also attended by the children of employees awarded with the Stellantis Student Awards, the company's global scholarship programme for over 30 years, who were actively involved in the workshop activities with the aim of conveying their passion and the need to be an active part of the community. In the afternoon, in fact, they were asked to replicate the workshop activities with the children of employees in secondary schools, thus creating a virtuous circle from generation to generation.
Stellantis and Next Level thus confirm their desire to combat school drop-out in Italy, a phenomenon that is still present today: suffice it to think that only 6% of students from families with low levels of education reach a university degree, while the latest INVALSI 2025 data confirm a significant skills gap in Italian and mathematics, with over 40% of students in the south of Italy below the minimum levels.
