THE NEW 2025 SPOT “Dipendenze: No, Grazie!”

The first spot of the project “Dipendenze: No, Grazie!” aims to raise awareness about adolescents’ excessive dependence on the digital world, with 47% spending more than five hours a day online, often neglecting more constructive activities such as sports and family time.
The project focuses on non-substance-related addictions, including gambling, online trading and compulsive shopping, while promoting the value of real relationships, face-to-face dialogue and time spent outdoors.

The objective is to encourage young people and families to find a healthy balance between online and offline life, reminding them that digital technology is not an enemy, but must be used consciously and responsibly.
The project is supported by director Antonio Silvestre and actors Gilles Rocca and Roberta Mastromichele.

L’ULTIMA SFIDA by Antonio Silvestre – in Cinemas from April 3, 2025

Cinema for Social Change

Global Thinking Foundation is proud to support the film “L’Ultima Sfida” (L’Ultima Sfida) by Antonio Silvestre, a work that uses the universal language of sport to address issues of major social relevance, such as loyalty, the fight against gambling, and non-substance-related addictions.
These often underestimated issues include risks such as gambling disorder and highlight the crucial role of social media in promoting cultural and behavioural change.
