Embracing our Community & Thriving Together Campaign 2024/25
IWA Modena is about women supporting women. We've always been a tight-knit group of incredible women lifting each other up, but guess what? We're not stopping there. The themes for our 2024/25 campaign are Women for Women, Health and Wellbeing, and Empowerment.Background and our Mission
Following last year’s successful volunteering and networking programme, we want to build on our connections within our Modenese community. In 2024, we continue to support local Women’s Campaigns, Health and Wellbeing initiatives and connect with community ‘not for profit’ associations and their work/activities. The themes for this year are Women for Women, Health and Wellbeing, and Empowerment.
Campaign Focus
As an association, we hold the welfare of all women in Modena as one of our core principles, and we’ve worked with amazing associations to support this mission over the years. In 2024 and 2025, we are focusing on these initiatives and events:
- “Cuore di Donna: Come Prendere Cura” is dedicated to enhancing wellness and knowledge among women, organised by UniMoRe, Servizio Sanitario Regionale Emilia-Romagna, and the Comune di Modena, among others.
- Donne in Corsa, a 3 km non-competitive walk in the centre of Modena dedicated to women organised by UISP Modena and ASD Podistica Interforze Modena with the patronage of the Comune di Modena and the collaboration of the Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian Red Cross).
- Magnalonga Città di Corlo, Wine and Food Trail through the Formigine countryside in its 17th year with the proceeds donated to the Parish and the community of Corlo. Over the years they have been used to renovate and modernize the Nursery School, the Youth Theatre and now they will be donated to the construction of the Nursing Home.
- Porta Aperta, volunteering in the cafeteria to prepare and serve food to homeless people and those who have recently immigrated to Italy.

Campaign Initiatives 2024/25
Donne in Corsa, March 2024
On the evening of the 8th March, an IWA Modena group joined a sea of runners, walkers, and women of all ages united in the energy of the International Day of Women! Not only did they renew our promise to always stand for each other, but they had a ton of fun while doing so! Oh, and some IWAM members were even interviewed by TRC Modena! #womenforwomen
Cuore di Donna Seminar, February 2024
“Cuore di Donna: Come Prendere Cura” kicked off with the first event in February 2024, with a half-day, free seminar that included topics ranging from cardiac health to menopause, tailored specifically for women. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn, share, and grow together!
Cuore di Donne Heart Event, May 2024
On the 12th May 2024, the theme of this instalment of Cuore di Donna was entirely dedicated to women’s health, disease prevention, and emergency care. But that’s not all! Medical professionals were also available to answer questions and provide advice, too. Our members were present and active on this day, and one of our members, Rosy Stainer, was even interviewed by a local television station! Watch the interview with Rosy Stainer
Magnalongo Event (Corlo), May 2024
On the 5th May, a group of our members and friends/partners attended 17th edition of the Magnalongo Città di Corlo Wine and Food Trail event through the Formigine countryside. The proceeds of this years’ event will be donated to the construction of the Nursing Home.
