The social commitment of Orsolina28
Share
Orsolina28 Art Foundation's mission specifies the willingness to be open to all segments of the population, including the most vulnerable. In this spirit, Orsolina28 collaborates with four local entities that support children and families in need.
Paideia Foundation
The Paideia Foundation, established in 1993 in Turin by the Giubergia and Argentero families, offers concrete help every day to children with different abilities and their families.
Orsolina28 Art Foundation has been supporting its mission since 2020, by inviting children with different abilities and their families every summer for an experience centered on wellbeing. Activities specifically designed to foster creativity will allow the parents to relax and rejuvenate, while our workshops for the whole family offer a moment of connection and play in a safe environment, tailored to everyone's needs.
Regina Margherita Children’s Hospital
The Regina Margherita Children's Hospital, in Turin, specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of childhood, and is a reference for the whole region.
In 2024, Orsolina28 Art Foundation inaugurated a collaboration with the hospital's Oncology-Hematology Department to offer residencies to teenagers who, having recently completed cancer treatments, are at the beginning of a path of rehabilitation and reintegration to daily life. The participants thus enjoy a week of rest and quiet, in which they can prepare themselves physically and emotionally for the return to the life they led before their diagnosis, thanks to dance and wellness activities offered by the Foundation and the accompaniment of psychologists and physical therapists.
ASAI Association
ASAI is a volunteer-driven association that has been operating in Turin since 1995. They offer educational and cultural initiatives for children, young people and adults in various multicultural neighborhoods of the city, involving more than 650 volunteers in concrete actions directed toward better coexistence in the urban fabric.
Asai and Orsolina28 have been working together since 2022, to offer children and young people from the Association the opportunity to get out of the city and benefit from a series of activities aimed at developing the creativity and the physical and mental wellbeing of the young participants.
CasaOz
The CasaOz Association was founded in 2005 by a group of people from Turin who chose to make themselves available to families with a sick child. CasaOz is first and foremost a home that welcomes children and families who encounter illness.
Orsolina28 Art Foundation is proud to offer children cared for by the foundation a place where they can experience days of immersion in nature, with games and dance activities that allow them to escape their daily routine. These days cater to all age groups and situations followed by CasaOz: from children to adolescents being treated at the children's hospital, to kids being followed by the eating disorders clinic, to people with neuro-cognitive disorders or disabilities, who all find their own place within Orsolina28.
