Friends of the Collegio Papio Association


In addition to raising funds, the association has also always aimed to encourage contact between former alumni by promoting involvement in school activities and similar initiatives.
The association was set up in 1967 to involve and motivate former College pupils to "promote the school and educational activities at the Collegio Papio, with the personal contribution of its members and sufficient financial support" (See Association's Statute).
As part of the new management context created with the establishment of the Collegio Papio Foundation, the association reaffirms its support and attachment to the Ascona institution through the appointment of an ex-officio member within the Foundation Council, guaranteeing its collaboration and support to the school Board.
With its eye on the future and increasingly expanding horizons, it is particularly important to underline how joining the association has never been restricted to former pupils only. The term "Friends" leaves ample space to all those who genuinely appreciate the Collegio Papio and wish to become involved personally or make a donation, not least parents of current pupils.
In order to guarantee the Collegio Papio a modern future through the Christian school message linked to clear educational values and rooted in the regional and cantonal context, joining the association is of particular importance to fully achieve these set objectives.
