Fondazione Mondo Digitale (FMD) is a third sector, non-profit organisation operating in the field of social innovation, education and training. Its mission is to foster an inclusive knowledge society by developing and strengthening digital and STEM competencies across all ages. FMD promotes a strategic alliance among schools, businesses, and civil society to establish digital technology as a powerful instrument for personal growth and educational innovation.

FMD’s core mission centers on capacity building within the education system. It works to equip schools and their staff with the necessary skills and infrastructure to thrive in the 21st century. This dedication is reflected in an operational model emphasizing: innovative teaching methodologies, the professional development of teachers and trainers, and the creation of advanced learning environments that foster digital citizenship.

FMD develops and disseminates the Innovation Gyms Model. These are configurable, inclusive spaces open to the community, designed to provide a model for aligning educational facilities with the challenges of the future.

Through frameworks like the FMD Academy, FMD provides structured programs and educational offerings that support students and youth in acquiring high-demand digital and entrepreneurial skills, promoting School-to-Work Programs and career orientation.

By actively engaging with educational institutions and providing the tools for systemic transformation, FMD ensures that the education sector can effectively deliver high-quality, relevant learning experiences, thus producing a lasting social impact aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on gender equality, quality education and future employment.
