In this annual insight meeting, experts in pedagogy, neuroscience, emotional education, pharmacology and psychoanalysis reflect on educational issues and the commercial promotion of new addictions among young people – not only alcohol and tobacco, but also social media – taking into account the relational crisis between adults and children and teenagers. During this year’s Tocatì festival, Verona plays the role of a pioneering city in new urban and educational policies aimed at young people, promoting community games as an antidote to the decline of the values traditionally conveyed by sport. Our festival becomes a practical exercise in public health and educational responsibility: the focus will be the dialogue with students, professional, families, schools, sport organisations and scientific associations, with the aim of sharing experiences in educational and sports practices from all over Italy.
