The Charter is part of the broader commitment of the Region, which is pursued through prevention and education initiatives, the strengthening of local networks and protection services, and aims to combat all forms of violence: not only the better-known forms, such as physical, psychological and economic violence, but also more insidious and emerging forms, such as digital violence.”The tour will also bring a travelling exhibition to the universities, providing an opportunity for information, reflection and participation.The invitation to the university community is clear: visit the exhibition and sign the Commitment Charter, thereby helping to promote a culture of respect and combat all forms of violence.The exhibition will visit the following universities in Lombardy:Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano (Largo Gemelli, 1 – Milan), 8–18 October;Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Piazza dell’Ateneo Nuovo, 1 – Milan), 19–25 October;Università degli Studi dell’Insubria (Morselli Pavilion, Via Ottorino Rossi, 9 – Varese), 26 October–1 November;Università degli Studi di Bergamo (Via Salvecchio, 19 – Bergamo), 26–30 October;Università degli Studi di Pavia (Corso Strada Nuova, 65 – Pavia), 2–8 November;Politecnico di Milano – Lecco campus (Via Gaetano Previati, 1/C – Lecco), 16–22 November.
