JCU Announces Winners of Italy Pitches 2021 Final Contest
JCU’s Institute for Entrepreneurship (IFE) and Programs for High Schools are pleased to announce the winners of the Italy Pitches 2021 final contest, which saw 159 students and 12 teachers from 11 schools (in Rome, Pomezia, Sabaudia, Naples, Venice) registered.
The Competition
Italy Pitches is JCU’s national, English-language pitching competition offered free of charge to Italian high-school students. Participating students gain video-making skills and learn about the role businesses can play in building a better, healthier, more inclusive society. Italy Pitches is completely online and certifiable for 30 hours for Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e per l’Orientamento (PCTO), a mandatory program that allows Italian high school students to acquire practical work experience.
During the program, students were introduced to corporate social responsibility, completed a tutorial on the essentials of video-making, performed company research and profiling, and produced a short video pitch highlighting how Italian companies pursue one or more UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Short-listed videos were posted on the IFE Facebook page for a popular vote. The prize for each video pitch is a €100 gift certificate.
