ABF Maria Manetti Shrem Educational Center / Alvisi Kirimoto + Partners

The ABF "Maria Manetti Shrem" Educational Center opens its doors. The first educational center designed by Alvisi Kirimoto www.alvisikirimoto.it and promoted by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, aims to improve the educational and academic experience of hospitalized boys and girls. Designed to offer a peaceful, enriching, and stimulating environment surrounded by nature, this initiative is part of the ABF H-LABS program for Schools in Hospitals, which supports the right to quality education in complex and challenging contexts, such as Italian Pediatric Hospitals. The project revolves around art and music, leveraging the educational opportunities facilitated by cutting-edge technologies. The ABF "Maria Manetti Shrem" Educational Center, accessible daily to hospitalized girls and boys, offers an integrated program of activities. Beyond supporting the School in Hospitals initiatives, it enhances existing socio-educational experiences onsite through daily programming organized collaboratively by the ABF, Meyer Hospital, Fondazione Meyer, Istituti Scolastici, and other entities involved in education, pet therapy, clown therapy, and music therapy.
