The project that fosters inclusion through sports is coming to two schools located in the Precotto and Pasteur neighborhoods.
The 2024 edition of "In Moto", the social project created by Repower Sanga Milano and supported by Dils, kicks off today. The partnership between the two entities is renewed for the 2024-2025 season, solidifying a shared commitment to well-being and inclusion.
"In Moto" is a physical education program aimed at primary schools that, by introducing children to basketball, seeks to overcome differences related to psychophysical abilities, language, or culture. Through sports, the project promotes values of inclusion, acceptance, and collaboration, teaching young children about sharing, mutual understanding, and accepting both their own and others' limits. To date, "In Moto" has involved over 6,000 students in more than 10 schools across Milan.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the initiative will focus on two specific schools: the Italo Calvino Comprehensive Institute in the Precotto neighborhood, and the Francesco Cappelli Comprehensive Institute in the Pasteur neighborhood. A total of 280 students from 13 classes will participate.
Activities at the Italo Calvino school will begin today, with two weekly sessions running through February. Afterwards, the Francesco Cappelli school will host bi-weekly sessions until the end of the school year.
Support for the "In Moto" initiative is part of a broader collaboration with Sanga, which is included in Dils' Give Back program, This is my Milano.
Sanga's "Orange" world has a long tradition of social initiatives related to sports, aimed at enhancing inclusivity and improving the quality of life for the most vulnerable, which have earned them important awards, including the Ambrogino d'Oro and the Rosa Camuna. "In Moto" is born from the belief that sports are a fundamental tool for children's psychophysical development and for strengthening the social fabric. Since its founding, Sanga has maintained affordable pricing policies to introduce girls and young women to basketball and the values of sport, thus promoting gender equality. In addition, since 2011, the sports group has complemented its women’s first team, which represents Milan at the highest level of Italian basketball, with the Sanga Baskin project. This initiative involves both men and women, players with and without disabilities, fostering genuine integration through sports.
Giuseppe Amitrano, CEO of Dils, stated: “We are thrilled to renew our support for Sanga with the In Moto project, which will offer a unique experience to around 300 children in the Pasteur and Precotto neighborhoods. We firmly believe that children represent the future of our communities, and we feel the responsibility to contribute to their growth in a healthy, inclusive, and stimulating environment. With Sanga, which has successfully promoted inclusion and diversity through sports for years, we share the same passion and commitment that also inspire Dils’ This is my Milano project: over the past two years, we have supported more than 30 non-profit organizations, carrying out a total of 50 initiatives. And many more are already in the pipeline.”
Franz Pinotti, founder of the Sanga world, commented: “It was easy to find in Dils, a forward-thinking and attentive company, an ideal partnership. We share the same vision and the same passion for giving back to the territory, to less fortunate families, what we know how to do and what we have achieved through our work. We have ideas and projects with which we try every year to respond to the many needs that arise in the city of Milan. I hope this partnership can be renewed year after year, because we truly know the territory, and since 1997, we have been at the forefront of making the path easier and more serene for many children, adolescents, and young people, while also guiding their families to recognize key opportunities that, thanks to sports, truly materialize in their daily lives.”
