Eugenio Bennato's concert for the conclusion of AppBenessere

The project "AppBenessere: a reticular and systemic approach to promoting the psychophysical well-being of the student population" crosses its first milestone.

Events, laboratories, workshops, spaces for confrontations have been the constant of an intense year that has seen a busy calendar with the aim of promoting psychophysical well-being, countering psychological distress and pathological addictions of university students through motor-sports, artistic and expressive activities aimed at fostering the development of the values of inclusion and participation, but above all the ability to create relationships with oneself and others.
