Executive summary

The digital education is one of the main trigger for the development of new growth and employment opportunities, according to the guidelines identified by the Italian Strategy for the Digital Agenda and Europe 2020 Program. Also the Italian Governement ongoing reform of the school system considers the digital issue as key.

The use of new technologies does not «complement» the education programs but is the basic alphabet of any learning process and a basic principle for the social inclusion and economic development.

Public opinion and top5% opinion makers require TIM’s committment (within CSR) to be primarily focused in the field of digital education (38%) (Ipsos, 2014). For TIM it is therefore key to promote - within schools - actions aimed at infrastructure strenghtening and forms of digital and innovative education.

The framework

CSR - #ilfuturoèditutti

EDUCATI

TIM, a leader company in the Country system, favors the effective realisation of the Italian Governement plan aimed at the digital trasformation of schools («La Buona Scuola»), through the nation-wide program for digital education EducaTI, the testing of technological platforms for the digital education and the crowdfunding, as well as by favoring the development of innovative teaching models.

The EducaTI project, which is specifically dedicated to Schools and Education, is part of the TIM CSR activities #ilfuturoèditutti, a composite program of actions based on the creation of values shared with the communities where TIM operates. EducaTI is the univocal answer to the demand for digital education of students, teachers and families. It is a multi-annual program, sinergic, modulable and measurable within TIM Corporate Shared Value Model.

The MoU TIM – MIUR harmonises the various actions that TIM envisages in this field; all initiatives will be measured through KPI according to the TIM Corporate Shared Value Model.
