Internazionale Milano – “Catching Bullying Offside”.
F.C. Internazionale has always taken a keen interest in social issues, both where the club has its roots and across the world. One of the initiatives that the club has been working on this year seeks to combat bullying among young people. Bullying, and in particular cyber-bullying, has become an issue of deep social concern in the Milan area, like elsewhere.
The main objectives
- Honouring its commitment to fostering positive social change
- Nurture a culture of respect, support, inclusion and non-violence
- Organising a bullying and cyberbullying prevention course for teachers in Milan
The programme of Internazionale Milano
The club organised a bullying and cyberbullying prevention course for teachers in Milan, in partnership with Italy’s Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, and the regional schools’ authority in Lombardy.
Topics covered:
- Integration
- Fair Play
- Respect of rules
- Combatting racism
- Combatting bullying
- Loyalty
The initiative focuses on classes with students aged between 10 and 15, and is divided into two parts:
- A selection of teachers representing all the schools involved attend a training course, learning from specialised trainers.
- The teachers who have completed the first training course then become ‘senior coaches’ and conduct class sessions in the schools, in agreement with the head teacher.
Pirelli, the club’s main global sponsor, is a supporter of the programme. The firm has always been committed to helping younger generations, including through the Fondazione Pirelli teaching initiatives.
