A vibrant community is emerging around Fondazione Oltre's "Adolescence" project—one that's coming together with realism and deep responsibility to tenderly address the profound educational challenges of our time.

The project has seen over 15,000 registrations on its dedicated platform, more than 1,500 in-person participants at the inaugural event held on February 20 at Rome's Auditorium Conciliazione with Prof. Alberto Pellai, and over 18,000 views in the first two days from live streaming and related content. This resounding success, far exceeding our expectations, underscores the heartfelt urgency for genuine dialogue on nurturing and guiding adolescents in the age of social media.

For deeper insights, we invite you to read President Thea Paola Angelini's editorial in Il Messaggero and the event press release.

Parents' Voices

Adolescence is a project that was created to be a place for parents, educators and teachers to exchange ideas.
We asked the participants of Gestire le Emozioni whether it is possible for different generations to understand each other.
Here is what they replied! (in Italian)
