The protagonists of the event will be the experiences of the kids of “#cuoriconnessi – la realtà delle parole”, the fourth book of the #cuoriconnessi series, a new collection of stories that, although different in dynamics, cultures and territories, are united by a common denominator: the relationship of young people with technology and the Internet.
The management and moderation will be handled by Luca Pagliari, author of the new book “#cuoriconnessi – the reality of words”.
“A large part of personal relationships today are lived online and this particularly concerns the younger generations, who face with the right enthusiasm the great innovations that technology offers”.
“However, we must not forget that if some experiences are virtual, many of the risks that are run online belong to a reality that can be very difficult to face, especially for adolescents”.
"Being the victim of bad behavior or, even worse, of a crime, in this very delicate phase of life, can have serious consequences, for which repression is not enough. The #cuoriconnessi project is evidence of the commitment of the State Police to help kids recognize risky situations and find the strength to talk about them with parents and teachers."
Lambert Giannini, Chief of Police – General Director of Public Safety
“'#cuoriconnessi' has been running for seven years and in this long period it has evolved, expanded its range of action, grown in numbers and initiatives, but always remaining faithful to a single communication model: sharing stories”.
“Stories that manage to convey messages that would otherwise go unheard. Stories that involve and encourage important reflections in young people, through an open and sincere debate on the dangers and opportunities offered by the online universe”.
“Thanks to the fundamental collaboration with the State Police, of which we are deeply proud, we are able to address extremely delicate issues with the common desire to create greater awareness of the web and all those devices that are increasingly part of our daily lives”.
“To be able to humbly contribute to the search for a qualitative and more thoughtful improvement of this flow, for us is not an option, but a moral obligation that has its roots in the desire to promote a responsible use of technology, open to comparison and against all discrimination”.
Giancarlo Nicosanti, CEO of Unieuro
