Carabinieri Promote Legal Awareness Through School Outreach in Solofra

The Carabinieri are actively fostering a culture of legality among young people through direct engagement with students. A recent initiative in Solofra saw Carabinieri officers meeting with students at the Francesco Guarini Comprehensive Institute to discuss critical social issues.

Promoting Civic Responsibility

The initiative, held at the Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado (middle school) of the Istituto Comprensivo “Francesco Guarini,” involved local Carabinieri station personnel and Captain Daniele De Filippo, Commander of the Solofra Carabinieri Company. The discussion covered a range of topics relevant to young people, including the importance of legality, respecting rules, and addressing issues like bullying and cyberbullying.

Key Discussion Points

Captain De Filippo led a dialogue with the students, focusing on individual responsibility and the conscious use of digital tools. The importance of adopting correct behaviors both within the school environment and in everyday life was emphasized. The Carabinieri also highlighted their various activities within the community and the specialized roles within the force, particularly showcasing the work of the Canine Units, which generated significant interest among the students.

Bullying Prevention and Resources

During the meeting, the Carabinieri introduced students to the “bullizzometro,” a self-assessment tool available on the Carabinieri’s institutional website. This questionnaire helps students, parents, and teachers identify and evaluate potential bullying or cyberbullying situations, offering guidance on appropriate responses and support resources.
