There is something magical in making a kite fly. But it becomes even more special if it has been built with your own hands using recycled materials. This is the spirit of Aula Aquilone, the contest promoted by LCI – Italian recycled paper processing, which returns for its third edition by inviting primary schools to transform recycled paper into splendid flying works.
Sustainability between school desks
The contest, free and open to all primary schools of Catanzaro, Florence, Milan, Naples, Rome, Treviso and the schools in the hospital throughout Italy, wants to inspire the new generations to give a second life to the waste materials, showing that even a simple sheet of paper can become a powerful message, if used with creativity and respect for the environment.
The prizes at stake, the news of this year
In addition to the already consolidated prizes, the 2025 edition of Aula Aquilone introduces a new category, “beyond the wind”, designed for schools in the hospital. This award recognizes the quality and strength of educational projects which, with commitment and excellence, guarantee didactic continuity in any context.
Here are all the prizes at stake:
