UniCredit Foundation is launching a new series of video clips to share with you all: 'One student at a time - stories of educational empowerment'.
Each episode tells, through the eyes of its protagonists, the story of a student whose life has changed thanks to the support of the organisations the Foundation supports. Each story is special and precious in its own way - underlining how the Foundation's investment in young people is a process that pays off in the long run.
The multidimensional and community-centric approach of the projects is key for the Foundation: with the desired impact not only concerning the extensiveness, but also the intensity of the interventions. Education is a soil that in order to flourish needs several hands, which work together and are able to take into account and maximise all the decisive aspects for the growth of what has been planted.
