Brief overview of the project and / or the Good Practice
The respect of the law can be built thanks to the knowledge of the rules, the respect for the others and the common good, and the awareness of the limits of each one's own freedom. School has a fundamental role in the shaping of the individual in terms of cultural and human growth. When they are at school, girls and boys learn to socialize, they acquire behaviors and habits, and learn to discern and to choose. Despite the institutions' care of the issues of law and human relations, episodes of violence, crime and intolerance both at the family and the small group level and at the social level, are increasing.
Mass media constantly convey situations of deviance that are too easily classified as simple madness or social distress. The problem is much more complex and we must all take on responsibility for it.
Every day the police and the institutions are called upon to prevent and limit such behaviors, in order to protect the safety of citizens and property, freedom, the interest and the common good. This is exactly the reason why education and training to the respect of the rules becomes one of society's primary goals.
Through sport, particularly team sport, a "dialogue" on equal terms between the operators of the institutions and young students can be created.
Thus, the project "Sport and Respect for the Law" - an initiative involving police, schools and institutions - was based on such assumptions.
For each edition of the project, special in-depth topics were included such as: "Hooliganism" ( first edition of the project), "Doping" (second edition), " Food and Sport", as a proper diet is essential to adequately face sport activities.
Knowing the basics of food, the nutritional value of the main foods, the individual needs in terms of calories, minerals, liquids to be taken (also according to the sport practiced), has been the goal of the third edition of the project. The purpose was to increase young people's awareness, in order to make them feel protagonists of their own lives.
