2025 Charity Gala
A look back at one of the year's highlights
An exceptional evening
Last Friday, the Institut International Saint-Dominique in Rome celebrated a highlight of its academic year with the 2025 edition of its Charity Gala. Held at the heart of the school, the event brought together families, partners and guests of honour to share a common ambition: to bring to life the values of solidarity, excellence and commitment that are the school's DNA.
A unifying event and an exceptional sponsor
The evening was marked by the warm presence of personalities committed to our community. In particular, Her Excellency Joyce Napier, Ambassador of Canada to the Holy See and ISD alumna, shared a powerful message at the opening of the evening, embodying the enduring bond between our school and its alumni.
Alongside our patron, representatives from the diplomatic, associative and educational worlds honoured the event with their presence, underlining the recognition of the impact that the young generations trained in our establishments can have.
Students in the spotlight
Throughout the evening, students from the school enlivened the evening with their talents and ideas: music, theatre, debates and citizen projects followed one another on stage. From a performance of Schumann's Arabesque to a mock United Nations debate, from theatrical monologues on happiness to reflections on the city of the future, each presentation demonstrated the commitment, sensitivity and creativity of the young people of St-Do.
Focus on the ANAK-Tnk Italia association
The highlight of thea evening was the presentation of the donation to the ANAK-TNK Italia association, which embodied the spirit of solidarity and commitment embodied by our community.
This organisation has been supporting street children in Manila, Philippines, for over 25 years, offering them shelter, educational support and a chance to build a dignified future. Thanks to the involvement of our community, this commitment has taken on its full meaning and strengthened the link between local action and international impact.
