Casnati for ESD (esd.centrocasnati.it), recognized as a “Progetto di qualità per l’educazione ambientale e alla sostenibilità in Lombardia”, contributed to sponsoring this significant event, aligning with UNESCO’s international Transformative Education initiative.
In a rapidly evolving job market, transformative education (Goal 4—Target 7 of the UN’s 2030 Agenda) is essential to empowering individuals to drive societal change toward equity and sustainability. Established in 2022 in collaboration with the Global Schools Program (United Nations SDSN), Casnati for ESD aims to educate high school students and teachers on sustainable development and promote this topic within local and online communities.

The Innovation Training Summit 2024, organized by Ecosistema Formazione Italia, was the first national B2B event to connect representatives from institutions, educational entities, business leaders, and the technological-digital innovation sector (edtech/hrtech). Over 150 speakers participated, including 18 institutional representatives, such as Ministers Adolfo Urso (Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy) and Gilberto Picchetto Fratin (Ministry of Environment and Energy Security), among others.
Minister Gilberto Picchetto Fratin commented on his social channels after his speech representing the Government:
“I have just spoken at the event organized by Ecosistema Formazione Italia. The training of young talents to face the challenges of sustainability and energy transition is imperative for our country. The growing need for green skills is evident in the job market demands: professionals in renewable energies, environmental experts, and specialized communicators are increasingly sought after. Companies today recognize the importance of sustainability for their future success. The energy transition is already underway, and the right skills are needed to drive this change.”

The summit, sponsored by the Region of Lazio and the Municipality of Rome, involved over 100 supporting entities, including companies, universities, and training institutions, intending to foster a national system of integrated and innovative education.
The participation of Casnati for ESD in the Innovation Training Summit 2024 underscores the importance of collaboration between educational institutions and organizations to promote transformative education and sustainable development.
The sponsorship initiative by Casnati for ESD was carried out “with the contribution of Regione Lombardia through Fondazione Lombardia per l’Ambiente.“
