Luis de Carlos Forum: 'Call for Change,' tomorrow at 7:00 pm

This Monday, November 16, at 7:00 pm, the Real Madrid Foundation and SOL Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting children and adolescents in the digital environment, will hold a new edition of the Luis de Carlos Forum to present the campaign Call for Change, at the Mutualist Space of Mutualidad (C/ Francisco Silvela, 106).

The initiative seeks to raise awareness in society and provide families and educational staff with tools to prevent cyberbullying occurring through video games, social media, or instant messaging systems.

Participants in the event will include Marian Rojas, psychiatrist, researcher, and communicator; Celso Arango, head of the Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service at La Paz University Hospital; Beatriz Izquierdo, jurist specialized in Criminology; Pilar Ponce, president of the School Council of the Community of Madrid; and Eva Molleja, head of the Sports Psychology Department at Real Madrid.

The campaign addresses issues such as the dissemination of non-consensual images, pressure to spend more hours hooked on video games, criticism about appearance and body image, among others. In contrast to screen time, sports are presented as a natural alternative, a space for connection and digital disconnection.  

Media representatives wishing to attend the event must bring their corresponding professional accreditation or their media's accreditation, starting from 6:15 pm.
