The Cultural Foster Care project continues to surprise, with new initiatives that promise to redefine the role of museums in society. Active since 2020, this innovative model is expanding further, aiming to involve families and minors in cultural experiences that go far beyond traditional stereotypes.

The Museum as a Space of Inclusion
Pio Monte della Misericordia, the project's leader, is embarking on an experimental phase that radically changes the perception of the museum, proposing it not only as a container of works of art, "but as a space for relationships and inclusion", capable of generating individual well-being and collective cohesion. In this context, a series of meetings entitled "Art reveals you!" will be the focus, leading participants to explore the expressive power of art.
A Unique Experiential Journey
With a well-defined schedule, the meetings will take place on April 8, May 13, 21 and 27, 2025. These events will present an explosive mix of group activities and moments of museum study, where the minors of the Istituto Comprensivo “Eduardo De Filippo” of Ponticelli will finally be able to discover their hidden talents. The division into two phases - a laboratory and a museum - allows the experience to be broadened, so that the works of art become tools for reading and understanding a variety of experiences, both personal and collective.
A New Horizon for Social Change
With this initiative, Pio Monte della Misericordia reconfirms itself as a key player in the panorama of social and cultural change. Its commitment to building an integrated museum system, “in constant dialogue with the territory and the educational communities”, demonstrates how it is possible to update the model of cultural participation, making art accessible and meaningful for all.
