Silvia Chiassai Martini, the President of the Province of Arezzo declares:
“The project aimed to raise awareness among students but also their parents and teachers involved in the phenomenon of marginalization, isolation and deviance, focusing on the topic and encouraging social inclusion and equal opportunities in sport. The importance of the virtual world for young people at the expense of real life can lead some young people to situations of discomfort that lead to isolation. A situation that has been further accentuated in the last two years by the Covid-19 emergency, aggravating the problem of their loneliness and marginalization. Sport, in this case volleyball, becomes the means to prevent and overcome youth discomfort. Through the identification of programs, initiatives, good practices aimed at creating collective awareness within the youth population, the increasingly widespread phenomena of malaise, marginalization and deviance can be faced. I would like to thank all the subjects who made possible the realization of the project, starting from the managers of the schools involved, Liceo Scientifico Redi, Istituto Margaritone and Istituto Fossombroni Buonarroti, the Arezzo Innovazione Foundation which played the role of project management, the association “I Care” which took care of the webinar seminars and the survey activity among the students. Finally, I thank the Provincial Student Council and the Provincial Education Office, Coni with the provincial delegate Alberto Melis, the CT Etruria Italian Volleyball Federation-Fipav Arezzo committee, the Paralympic Committee of Tuscany, with the provincial delegate Giusy Albiani. ”
