The Maestri di Strada Association of Naples joins the Quarto Fuoco® network. A new synergy that reaffirms the role of ceramics in generating social and cultural value.
The Quarto Fuoco® project by Fondazione Iris Ceramica Group continues to expand its reach by involving the Maestri di Strada Association of Naples. This new collaboration strengthens the commitment to promoting creativity and social inclusion through the art of ceramic decoration.
Maestri di Strada is an organization operating in the heart of Naples to combat school dropout rates and promote innovative educational pathways. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the association works with teenagers and young adults, providing them with tools to face life’s challenges and build a more stable future. The integration of the Quarto Fuoco® project into Maestri di Strada’s activities represents a valuable opportunity to engage young people in an artistic experience that fosters autonomy, personal expression, and a sense of belonging to the community.
Fondazione Iris Ceramica Group will provide materials and resources for the workshops, along with support from expert volunteers who will guide the youth in discovering the art of ceramics. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where ceramic decoration becomes a tool for personal and collective growth, encouraging the development of creative and social skills.
The arrival of Quarto Fuoco® at Maestri di Strada marks another step forward in the national expansion of the project, confirming the potential of ceramics as a means to generate social and cultural value. This new synergy demonstrates how art, education, and community can intertwine to build a more equitable and supportive future.
