Annual report Helpcode Italia - EN

seven children dropped out of school early (source: Eurostat). Italy invests only 8.2% of its
public spending in education, whereas the EU average is 9.9%. Resources that will come
from the PNRR be essential. Now is the time to act!
Italy needs to invest a good deal of its resources in the school system, to guarantee that
everyone has access to quality education, but also furnish all those skills, especially in the
digital sector, that will be indispensable in coming years.
For small children, there should be only one emotion: Happiness.
This is what we work for every day, to reach the goal of assuring all children the conditions
essential to achieve happiness. So that they can fully express their potential and realize
their dreams.
But before growing up, we want them to be happy, as children should be.
Our communication goals for 2022 are to capitalize on and foster the positioning work done
over the past 2 years. We want to promote the education campaign and work to organize and
expand our media presence in order to reach a wider national and international audience.
