The Typography Laboratory of Busajo Campus
The new Typography Laboratory of Busajo Campus will involve boys and girls in a training program in order to learn the ancient art of printing. The goal of the project is to print and donate textbooks to the many schools in Soddo that are almost completely without them, aiming to improve the quality of teaching offered and increase the level of education of the many boys and girls in the city.
The construction of the building – which began in October 2023 and ended in March 2024 – was made possible thanks to the contribution of Fondazione 153, which included Busajo NGO in the list of associations benefiting from the solidarity prizes of the Mastercard Prize for Literature. In fact, in 2022 the winner of the Gian Marco Griffi Prize awarded us the 1st contribution, which was used for the construction of the laboratory, while in 2023 the winner of the Prize Dario Ferrari awarded us the 2nd contribution, intended to implement the laboratory machinery.
Some accessories and consumables were purchased thanks to a generous donation by Gaetano Castrovilli and Rachele Risaliti, others were donated by the manufacturing companies or suppliers. In particular, we thank Konica Minolta and Prosolidar Foundation for the important contribution assigned to us, intended for the purchase of machinery and essential equipment for the start of the activities of the Typography.
FONDAZIONE PROSOLIDAR ENTITY PHILANTROPICO ETS is an organization established in the credit sector for the realization, in Italy and abroad, of solidarity and socially relevant projects, promoting social justice, inclusion and sustainable development. It includes, on an equal footing, all the trade union organizations of the workers of the same sector (through their National Secretariats) as well as, on the employer side, the Italian Banking Association and all the companies that adhere to the Association. It is the first and, at present, the only experience, even at an international level, of an entity desired by the parties in a national collective labor agreement and financed through “match-gifting”, that is, the sharing of the contribution in equal measure between workers and companies.
