In his video message to young men and women participating in Project Factor J, Councillor Alessio D'Amato (Health and Socio-Sanitary Integration, Regione Lazio) underlines the importance of technological innovation to cure - especially the most fragile individuals -  and keep close safely. Empathy, respect and inclusion are values that must be shared with the associations that safeguard the rights of patients during health emergencies. The objective is to improve together and leave no one behind.

Factor J. Empathy, Respect and Inclusion, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale in collaboration with Janssen Italia, is the first Italian school curriculum for educating students to develop emotional intelligence, respect and empathy towards individuals suffering from unease of disease. This is an important social operation to stimulate a change in mentality and culture in the new generations.
