BiciScuola, RCS Sport’s successful “edutainment” project, now in its 23rd edition, is back. The purpose of this venture has always been to introduce the younger generation to cycling as part of a healthy lifestyle, to the spirit of sportsmanship, to a balanced diet, to road safety education and to the rules of the new sustainable mobility. The free initiative involves children from primary school classes (aged 6-10) in the areas where the GIRO D’ITALIA and GIRO-E will be passing.
The project runs all year round, as it is also extended to RCS Sport’s great cycling races: Strade Bianche Women Elite, Strade Bianche, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milano-Sanremo, Milano-Torino, GranPiemonte and Il Lombardia.
Notably, during the next Giro d’Italia, a group of Ukrainian children will be invited to attend the start of stage number 19 on 24 May in Mortegliano, in the province of Udine, thanks to the volunteers and operators of AiCS Hungary.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia is the ‘gateway to Italy’ for populations in difficulty, owing to its geographical location on the border. For the past two years, this association, led by Giovanni Colosimo, has been on the front line in favour of Ukraine to offer support to the many orphaned children, working to welcome them through its assistance centres and contributing to the transportation of medicines and basic necessities to conflict-affected areas. BiciScuola is a special occasion that will allow the youngsters to experience an exciting day full of emotions at the Corsa Rosa.
