Jesi to host music and fencing event against bullying with ASIA on 15 November
Music, personal testimony and sport will come together at an event aimed at raising awareness of bullying in Jesi. According to the organisers’ announcement, “Insieme contro il Bullismo” (Together Against Bullying) will take place on 15 November at the Casa della Scherma fencing venue on Via Nazioni, with doors opening at 4.30 pm. The event is promoted by the association “Sogna come facevi da bambina”, under the patronage of the Municipality of Jesi, with the involvement of Club Scherma Jesi and support from Asset LGD.
Asia Antonietti, known professionally as ASIA and the association’s founder, will lead a concert combining music and storytelling at 5 pm. She will discuss her experience of bullying and the path that led her to establish the association. Aimed at young people and families, the event will be hosted by Cristiano Boggi, who oversees press and communications for Club Scherma Jesi.
“I decided to turn the pain into something positive and use my experience to help others,” ASIA says in the announcement. The organisers say the initiative aims to encourage discussion of bullying and help young people recognise it, address it and seek support, drawing on the sporting values of respect and inclusion.
At 6.30 pm, a session titled “Asset per il sociale” will feature Andrea Logiurato, founder of Asset LGD. Logiurato says the company’s support reflects its intention to contribute to the community and promote respect, inclusion and resilience among young people.
At 6.50 pm, following remarks of thanks from Club Scherma Jesi president Maurizio Dellabella, participants will be invited to try fencing alongside the athletes. The programme is scheduled to conclude at 7.30 pm with an aperitif gathering open to families.
