The event, Adolescent Worlds: A Question Awaiting an Answer, organized on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at LUMSA University by Pauline Multimedia and the Pontifical Faculty of Educational Sciences (The Auxilium), is part of the Jubilee of Education events. The encounter, led by Fabio Bolzetta, president of WECA (Association of Italian Catholic Webmasters), featured authoritative speakers such as Monika Grygiel (psychologist and psychotherapist), Eraldo Affinati (writer and educator), and Stefano Vicari (child neuropsychiatrist), who combined psychology, education, and neuropsychiatry to outline a new framework for listening and understanding.

The goal was to create a dialogue between generations, to answer the questions adolescents ask adults: regarding the “whys”, of this “world”, and these troubled “times” we are living through together.

The generation between 14 and 19 is the one called upon to build and lead the future and cannot be considered just a “problem to be solved”.
