On Tuesday in Florence, an agreement was signed for the launch of the project "Discover - Out of the shell", the first specialised centre in Italy dedicated to social media addiction and the conscious use of digital technology.
The initiative, promoted by ASL Toscana centro, the City of Florence and the Retesviluppo cooperative, is Italy's first attempt to tackle the phenomenon of addiction to the digital world, which mainly affects young people and has social and cultural repercussions.
"Digital technologies are part of young people's everyday lives and represent an extraordinary opportunity. Precisely for this reason we have a duty to support them in making increasingly conscious use of these tools, helping them to find a balance between the time spent online and the time devoted to relationships, sport, culture and shared experiences," explains Councillor for Youth Policies Letizia Perini, one of the main promoters of the centre.
