At WAGNER Arbitration, we believe that access to education is one of the most powerful drivers of stable and resilient societies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But education can only thrive when one foundational condition is met: children must be properly nourished.<\/p>\n

This belief is deeply rooted in our own culture at the #<\/span>Arbitrattoria<\/a>. With our annual Cook of the Year Award \u2014 which was recently awarded to the one and only Giulio Polisi<\/a> for 2025 \ud83c\udfc6\ud83d\udc4f \u2014 we celebrate cooking, shared meals, and the idea that food is more than nourishment: it is care, community, and connection.<\/p>\n

And that is exactly why we support the charity A Bleistift FOR EVERYONE<\/a> (Bleistift = pencil), which next to school materials provides daily school meals for children in under-resourced communities.<\/p>\n

A warm meal might seem like a small gesture, but the research is clear:<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude00 it improves attention, memory and the ability to learn<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udee1\ufe0fit reduces illness and absenteeism<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 it supports healthy cognitive development during the most formative years<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc97 and over time, it strengthens communities by building personalities, equality, and economic opportunity<\/p>\n

These are not theoretical claims\u2014they are supported by historical experience:<\/p>\n

When we joined the school meal sponsorship last year, our colleague Laura Halonen<\/a> reminded us of an exemplary<\/span> case: Finland\u2019s development after the Second World War. As she put it:<\/p>\n

Finland\u2019s universal school meal program (\ud83d\udc49see comment) indeed helped eliminate childhood malnutrition, equalised opportunities, and formed part of the foundation on which the country built its knowledge-based economy. It is a powerful illustration that small, consistent interventions can shape the trajectory of an entire society. Other countries and communities also follow this example.<\/p>\n

We support A Bleistift for Everyone because we believe in that same power: that giving children the stability of a nutritious daily meal is not charity \u2014 it is a long-term investment in their futures and in the wellbeing of whole communities.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to make a meaningful impact with a simple, high-leverage intervention, we encourage you to take a look at their work.<\/p>\n

Stronger children make stronger societies. And it starts with something as humble \u2014 and as powerful \u2014 as a shared school meal.<\/p>\n

With that, we wish you a happy holiday season and a #<\/span>GutenRutsch<\/a>. We will see you again next year! Take care \ud83e\udef6<\/p>\n
