Barbieri shared, “At Kidzania, we are committed to shaping future-ready generations by making learning immersive, interactive, and inspiring. As education evolves beyond textbooks, experiential learning becomes essential in equipping children with life skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and financial literacy. Learning isn’t limited to classrooms, it thrives in real-world experiences. Through edutainment, we ignite curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and empower children to explore diverse career paths in a dynamic and engaging environment. Our mission is to nurture confident, well-rounded individuals prepared to lead and excel in the world of tomorrow.”
