The "Einaudi-Alvaro" school in Palmi, Italy, dedicated the month of May 2025 to student mental and emotional well-being. They hosted a series of workshops in collaboration with ACE Medicina Solidale and Jonas Reggio Calabria. The initiative, titled "BenEssere a scuola. Ciascuno cresce solo sognando" (Well-being at school. Each one grows only by dreaming), emphasized the importance of student aspirations in their development.
On May 5th, psychologist Maria Laura Falduto led a seminar focusing on emotional well-being in schools. Students from Liceo-ITE classes Quarte, Quinte, and 3AQ participated in "In aula tra timori e tremori: ansia e speranza tra i banchi di scuola" (In the classroom between fears and tremors: anxiety and hope among the school desks). The session addressed anxieties related to evaluation and the uncertainties of school years.
On May 8th, a session titled "L'isola sconosciuta: la mia vita dopo la scuola" (The unknown island: my life after school) was held. This session, part of the 5AS class orientation module, involved group counseling with Dr. Falduto. The focus was on the transition from school to university and students' broader life plans.
On May 19th, students from ITA and IPIA classes Quarte and Quinte engaged in a seminar titled "La scuola che vorrei" (The school I would like). This final session, introduced by Professor Domenica Bagalà, compared difficulties in the real school environment with student needs.
