Bankruptcy School of Modena

In June 2016 the first Bankrupcy School in Italy was born in Modena. From 2018 it became a company managed by the founder Francesca Corrado. The idea was born from Francesca personal experience of failure, that in Italy is consider a social stigma. The school teaches the culture of error and failure, focusing on singularity and exceptions, valuing good mistakes.It offers shows, lessons and training courses - for groups or individuals - useful for developing a new mindset and for learning a method to dare, to analyze mistakes, to accept failures and overcome fear to make counscious choices.If we do not change the mentality with which we deal with failure, the incentives for success will be useless. If the mentality is important, the method must be. We make the same mistakes because we don’t analyze them by asking the right questions.The school was born with the pilot initiative of the Association Play Res, specializing in the economic theory of games, with 30 members throughout Italy, with the support of the Foundation of the Bank Cassa di Risparmio di Modena and of the San Filippo Neri Foundation. In 2017 they started a more structured program for teachers, managers and entrepreneurs who failed, helping them to discover their errors and to restart with a new business.“Wrong is good, in life and work” says Francesca Corrado, founder of the school, researcher economist, former professor of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
