Bullying and cyberbullying: educating for respect also through sports
Monday, March 23, 2026, the Mentasti Auditorium at ISIS Newton will host a morning dedicated to the theme “Bullying and cyberbullying: educating for respect, also through sport.” Four classes from Liceo Classico Cairoli will also take part in the event, as protagonists of a conference organized together with the Centro Storico Italiano under the guidance of Prof. Adragna.
The event will offer students a space for discussion and awareness on behaviors, responsibilities, and relational dynamics, with a special focus on the positive role that sport can play in building a culture of respect.
The initiative is promoted by ISIS Newton in collaboration with Liceo Classico Cairoli, Amico Fragile, La Varese Nascosta, and Centro Storico Italiano.
Saturday, March 7 2026, in the afternoon, the “Mentasti” Main Hall at Newton will host the opening and conference of the exhibition “Collateral Victims.” The exhibition, made up of ten panels, will remain open to the public until April 1 and will be accompanied by guided tours on dates that will be announced later (cost: €5 per person).
The exhibition offers a critical look at the environmental consequences of conflicts and invites reflection on the link between wars, ecosystems, and global sustainability. A journey designed to stimulate awareness and responsibility, especially among young people.
