2013-2015
Vittoria Sweet Company 1st year
During the Law and Economics lessons younger students from 1st and 2nd
discussed how to make their Economic Company. They decided for a SWEET COMPANY to commercialize honey and products with honey.
They surfed the net to look for Italian laws concerned with opening and dealing a company. They also devoted some hours to study in details everything concerned with honey, its characteristics, how bees make various kinds of hone.
They organized themselves in a team of entrepreneurs dividing their duties inside the working team. The students “administrators” asked the headmistress to lend them a certain amount of money to buy the honey.
The marketing administrators looked for honey from the hills of Torino and contacted a HONEY LOCAL APICULTURIST. They discussed the weight and the price of the jars with the young beekeeper. They tasted the honey and they choose “Wildflowers honey” from Cellarengo.
They bought 50 jars of 500 g, for € 175.00 to be sold at € 5.00 each one, and 50 jars of 1000 g for€ 300.00 to be sold at € 10 each one.
At the end of November students charged of Marketing were able to invent some posters, to write a sort of drug information leaflet to go with each jar, respecting the UE indications for the labels
Honey makes you healthy, beautiful
and good

good
The packaging begins in the first week of December 2013
and by December the confezioni were ready
Two weeks beforeChristmas the Honey Company could advertise their products, sell it inside and outside school. It was a great success and they sold all the jars.
The Young Honey Entrepreneurscould then make a balance oftheir business:
They gave back to the headmistress the money they borrowed from the school:€ 500.00 (€ 475.00 for honey,€ 25.00 for labels, poster, packaging).
They calculated how much money they earned from this first Market
€ 750.00
The profit of€ 250.00
was given to CISV
to support the Senegal project for children
