Il progetto Ricercamondo, l’iniziativa educativa promossa da Henkel per stimolare l’interesse dei bambini della scuola primaria verso le discipline STEM ‏(Scienza, Tecnologia, Ingegneria e Matematica), è arrivato per la prima volta nella Capitale grazie alla collaborazione con la Presidenza dell’Assemblea Capitolina di Roma. La realizzazione dell’iniziativa è stata resa possibile grazie al supporto attivo dell’Amministrazione che ha collaborato con Henkel per integrare il progetto nell’offerta educativa delle scuole primarie dei Municipi VI e XIII, coinvolgendo circa 270 bambini.
