“A crucial moment in the experience of young people”

Rita Tulelli, president of the “Universo Minori” association of Catanzaro

From tomorrow 28 April to 5 May Catanzaro will host the XVI edition of Le Convittiadi, the “Universo Minori” association with the president Rita Tulelli is keen to write a thought on this important event for young people.

The Convittiadi represent a crucial moment in the experience of young people, offering not only an opportunity to compete in different sporting disciplines, but also an opportunity to develop fundamental values ​​such as discipline, fair play and a sense of belonging. These events are not only a demonstration of physical ability, but also a fertile ground for personal and social growth. Participating in the Convittiadi does not just mean competing, but also learning to collaborate, adapt and overcome challenges. Through sport, young people learn to handle pressure, set goals and pursue them with determination. These skills not only prepare them for the challenges of the field, but also those of life. In an era where more and more young people are attracted to sedentary lifestyles and digital distractions, Convittiadi play a fundamental role in promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. They provide a platform to celebrate sporting talent and to inspire other young people to engage in physical activity. Furthermore, Convittiadi act as a bridge between different youth communities, creating a sense of unity and belonging. Through interaction with peers from different backgrounds across Italy, participants learn to respect differences, work together towards a common goal and build lasting bonds. In conclusion, Lawyer Tulelli is keen to specify that the Convittiadi are much more than a simple sporting competition. They represent a precious opportunity for young people to grow, learn and socialize, thus contributing to shaping aware, resilient and supportive citizens for the future.
