Union of Schools and Rotary on the topic of Bullying, RC Morimondo is there to increase the Culture of Ethics
[Article by Silvia Lodi Pasini] – The partnership between local schools and Rotary is strengthened to deepen and develop the culture of legality. This year too, in fact, the "Ada Negri" State Comprehensive Institute of Motta and Besate has joined the proposal of the Morimondo Abbazia Rotary Club to participate in the national competition "Legality and culture of ethics" promoted by the Italian Rotary districts.
This year's theme is very interesting: "The cult of strength and aggression is worryingly increasing among young people: society, school and family are called to prevent and address the problem, combating youth violence also through the valorization of gender differences". “We are happy as a school to participate in a cultural event which, due to the theme covered, the Institute Council and the teaching staff, to whom I submitted the proposal from the Morimondo Abbazia Rotary Club, considered extremely stimulating for our students, as well as highly topical” says the school director Antonietta Bianco in communicating the acceptance of the proposal put forward by Morimondo Abbazia. The LCE national competition (acronym for Legality and Culture of Ethics), now in its 14th edition, is a competition for students aimed at secondary and secondary schools, as well as university students and graduates. The Italian Districts of Rotary International are continuing the joint action "Legality and Culture of Ethics" with the task of encouraging positive actions in society and especially among young people for the development of an ethical conscience, aware and consistent with the principles of legality. The driving force behind this action are the Rotary Clubs, the Rotaract Clubs and the Interact Clubs which, in their associative autonomy, take action in their own territories to encourage the participation of educational institutions (Middle, High, University) to the competition notice. The initiative will culminate in a day dedicated to "Legality and culture of Ethics", expected to take place in April 2025 with methods to be established, which will see protagonists, in an institutional place, students from middle schools, upper secondary schools and university students and new graduates who will be classified at various levels as a result of the competition. To participate in the competition, the schools will select the best and most original works of their students up to a maximum, for each class, of four of each type (Italian work, poster, commercial/short film, photographic shot).
