The “Back to School 2023” edition was held at the Ministry of Education on 21 September with the aim of promoting the ePolicy process through the involvement of schools, teachers, students, parents who have experienced the document and who have promoted the conscious and virtuous use of the internet and technologies with their peers and schools.

During the event, a video spot to spread the ePolicy document among schools, teachers and parents was presented. The video spot was created with the professional support of the Giffoni Film Festival and the help of the experts from the Safer Internet Centre. The video is the first spot created by the Youth Panel as a cooperation activity between the Italian SIC and young people for the creation of communication campaigns to raise awareness among their peers, parents, and teachers.
