BARBARA BERLUSCONI: Derby for Peace “A head to head but also a celebration.”

MILAN – This is what was said by Barbara Berlusconi during the presentation of the ‘Derby For Peace’ which took place at the San Siro: “I would like to thank  Josè Maria de Corral, Javier Zanetti, Riccardo Montolivo and Mauro Icardi. This is a message of respect for people and diversity. Only through diversity and accepting this can there be growth. This will be displayed through the planting of an olive tree which will be carried out onto the pitch by the two captains Montolivo and Icardi. This derby aims to be a head to head, but also a celebration.”

On other matters: “I think we need to be honest with ourselves. I think the objective this season is qualifying for the Europa League, but from next season, we must aim for the Champions League. We have invested a lot and so the team is strong and for this reason we need to aim and reach important goals over the coming seasons. I believe this weekend’s match is between two big clubs. It’s a match that will be followed all over the world. Result aside, I hope it can be a joyous occasion for all those that love football. As for club matters, a possible sale in shares brings with it moments of standstill, so I hope that the negotiations can come to a close in one way or another. My position is one of respect and from afar.”

Josè Maria de Corral, Director General for Mondi di Scholas said: “It’s wonderful to be here with you and make the dreams of so many children come true and that Pope Francis wanted to share with the world. Children from Cuba that were taking part in one of our projects met fellow youngsters from New York for the first time. The Pope was also there and one of the children said that the Pope represented them. The Pope took out a bullet and said ‘Many children in the world are living in war-situations and cannot go outside and play football.’ For this reason I am very happy that Inter and Milan can help build this dream. So thank-you to everyone because even if I do not understand football, I can say the winner of the derby on Sunday will be peace.”

 

DERBY FOR PEACE, Sunday 31 January 2016

 

Milan-Inter in the name of peace with Scholas.

Milan, 28 January 2016 – This weekend’s derby between Milan-Inter will be promoting the message of peace with the support of Scholas; the international educational entity founded by Pope Francis with the objective of promoting integration and peace between people through sports, art and technology.

The decision follows on from last November when the club’s Vice President Barbara Berlusconi signed an agreement on behalf of AC Milan with His Holiness and in which a commitment was made to back Scholas as well as to organise Derbies for Peace. This weekend and ahead of the kick-off, the aim is to carry out the ‘olive-tree ceremony’ at the San Siro with the captains from each team. This symbolic gesture will close an initiative that started in August 2013 when the Pope handed the olive-tree, the universal symbol for peace, to the captains of Argentina and Italy, Messi and Buffon, before the match for peace at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. On that same night there was also the official unveiling of Scholas.

“After identifying the social role that football plays, the large numbers of young people involved and the importance of their integration through sport, art and technology, Scholas is now carrying out its projects in 82 countries.” – José María del Corral, Director General Mondo Di Scholas created by Pope Francis.

“Football is without doubt the most extraordinary means of global communication and way of bringing people together. With this in mind, sport and its values become a fundamental element for social development and through which to invest in the potential of young people, getting the best out of their abilities and supporting their development. From this premise, a collaboration between Scholas Occurrentes and Milan Foundation was created and which begins in occasion of the Derby for Peace and foresees the support of the Play for Change project carried out across Italy.” – Barbara Berlusconi AC Milan Vice President and President of the Milan Foundation. 

Thanks to the Milan Foundation, you can give your support by sending a text message to 45598. The funds raised via the text messages will go towards the Play for Change project which helps youngsters regain confidence in themselves and gradually start studying again or enter the job market. Backing the project in occasion of the derby Milan-Inter will be Scholas Occurrentes. The funds raised by Scholas meanwhile will be for the Scholas Ciudadania – Scholas Cittadinanza projects and the initiatives in Africa and Latin America.
