With the inauguration of Pirelli’s Silao factory, the “Inter Campus Pirelli Silao” project takes off. The F.C. Internazionale project, with the support of Pirelli, will offer the children of the area a meeting point where they can play sports, in particular soccer. In the first two years, the “Inter Campus Pirelli Silao” program will be to the benefit of children of the “Casa Hangar Peter Pan” Foundation (about 65 have already participated in the preliminary phase of the project), as well as around 150 children of employees of Pirelli’s production plant in Silao.
Pirelli will act as patron and guarantee sporting activities at Silao, drawing on the technical skills of the Inter Campus staff and its educational experience developed in the 24 countries in which it is active. Inter Campus trains the local educators through special courses and supplies all children participating in the program with the technical material needed for the sporting activity, including the blue and black Inter outfits, sponsored by Pirelli. In the first two years, the aim is to involve 200 children and train five local educators to manage the activities using the Inter campus methods.
The program was presented last August to the Governor of Guanajuato who appreciated the social aims of the Inter campus project. The reclamation of the area near the Pirelli plant will benefit the children participating in the project, as well as developing the social context of Silao city.
