Remember how exciting it was to go visit your parents at work? Safilo recently teamed up with Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work, a nonprofit educational program that introduces children to the exciting and important world of their parents’ careers, and hosted its version of “Bring Your Kid to Work Day.” Safilo employees got to spend the day with their kids, showing them what they do at work every day. The day was filled with interactive games and activities to help the curious bunch learn more about the role, production and function of eyewear. They also familiarized themselves with polarized lenses and learned about its history and what makes it such a remarkable invention. The Safilo team let the youngsters test different lenses to understand the benefits of having healthier vision, something the company holds to very high standards. The kids even had the chance to step into the creative side of the biz and design their own frames and P.O.P. materials with Safilo’s trade marketing team using colored paper, markers, popsicle sticks and styrofoam. SEE some of the EYE-mazing crafts the children made.
