Nei Nostri Panni
The Artisans of tomorrow
With other local partners, we have created a project of great social value, a training program for textile sorters, spinners, and new artisans, aimed at people from reception programs and migrants living in the area.
We fund it by dedicating 1% of our annual revenue to make positive change possible.
Integration and tradition
Nei Nostri Panni was created to turn a challenge into an opportunity.
Together with the Fondazione Opera Santa Rita, a local reception center, we involve people in vulnerable situations by providing them with a professional training opportunity.
This facilitates generational renewal in the sector and creates new opportunities.
What is considered waste becomes a resource.
Learning a craft, building a future
The selected candidates undergo professional classroom training to obtain all the necessary certifications for working safely.
They then begin a paid internship at a company, where they learn the trade of a spinner, weaver, or the role of a cenciaiolo, the artisans of recycling in the textile district of Prato.
1st edition 2022
In the first edition 5 people were trained and in December 2022 all the selected profiles were hired.
2nd edition 2023
The second edition began in March 2023 with 12 paid internships also in the carded spinning sector, another textile tradition deeply linked to our territory.
3rd edition 2024
7 new participants have started their training, and for the first time, many of them are women. More and more companies are requesting to host internships, allowing Nei Nostri Panni to expand into new sectors, particularly weaving and knitwear manufacturing.
Companies and partners
Nei Nostri Panni was created from the ground up, thanks to the companies that recognized its positive impact on the community and the sector.
All this is possible thanks to the beneficiaries who host the internships, the project partners, and the funders, who, like us, contribute to providing economic and operational support.
An opportunity for your company and the community
The success of Nei Nostri Panni project can be replicated in other sectors that require new forces and skills.
