EduCare festival opens in Bologna with dialogue on guiding youth

The 'EduCare' festival opens in Bologna with a focus on education and adult roles, featuring a dialogue between prison chaplain Don Claudio Burgio and former basketball player Marco Calamai. The event drew over 200 attendees at its preview. The first main event takes place tomorrow at 9 PM at the Teatro Biagi D’Antona, where Burgio and Calamai will discuss supporting young people without deciding for them. Burgio serves at Milan's Beccaria juvenile prison, while Calamai works with the Overlimits project. The festival continues through October 10 with events on parenting, youth voices, and risk in growth. It is organized by the Alveare cooperative, which has operated in the Bologna area for over 15 years.
