"A problem is not the end, it’s just life that continues differently." Leonardo Radicchi, President of AIPI, truly shocked the students at the Liceo Vittorio Alfieri in Asti who participated in the webinar held by one of the patient associations participating in Project Factor J.
Marilena, 17, describes the experience in this interview with Cecilia Stajano[@CStajano], School Innovation Coordinator and Community Manager at the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.

From Asti we move to Messina for a webinar held by Project Ithaca with psychologist Chiara Maiuri who helped the students at the Liceo G. La Farina to familiarise with different emotions. "We are very vulnerable, especially now," explains Sara, 16, who was pleasantly surprised by the interactive and interesting format. She also confessed that "now, I am less afraid."
