Again this year - “Winter Break with Intesa Sanpaolo Banka"!

Sarajevo, 27.01.2025, For the third year in a row, Intesa Sanpaolo Banka, in cooperation with the National Theatre Sarajevo, has organised the event - "Winter Break with Intesa Sanpaolo Banka". It is intended for the children of the Bank's employees, as well as their friends from SOS Children's Villages and the Home for Children without Parental Care "Bjelave" in Sarajevo.  The event was held on Saturday, January 25 and was attended by more than 150 children enjoying an incredible ballet performance - “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, an all new play in the repertoire of this Theatre.

 

“Traditionally, for the third consecutive year, the Winter Break organized by Intesa Sanpaolo Banka delivers a unique and meaningful experience. In addition to the wide range of activities enjoyed by many children during the holiday season, we have partnered with the National Theatre to create a special event exclusively for them. It is truly a pleasure to see the children of our employees gathered together with their peers from institutions that care for children in need. Beyond the enjoyment of the theatre performance, this initiative provides a valuable opportunity for them to socialize, have fun, and share their impressions of the experience. We remain committed to continuing such activities in the future to foster inclusion and cultural enrichment,” said Michele Castoro, President of the Management Board of Intesa Sanpaolo Banka. 

After the children watched the ballet performance “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, they had the opportunity to learn more about one of the world's most famous fairy tales, but also about theatre, ballet, and the way this theatre performance was created.  The workshop was realised in cooperation with the National Theatre Sarajevo and the actors of the play. 

Such events are of particular importance for Intesa Sanpaolo Banka because they represent one of the main goals of this Bank - caring for its employees and also, in this regard, for their children.  For some years now, this Bank, in cooperation with its parent bank in Italy and banks of the IBD Group, has also been organising summer camps for all children of the Group's employees throughout Europe.  In addition to this event that it is organising for the third year in a row during the winter break, Intesa Sanpaolo Banka in BiH has also organised a number of other events for the children of its employees, as well as their peers from all over BiH.  These activities will continue to be implemented in the future as well.
