Project data

The PRO-BEN project,scientifically coordinated by Prof. Alessandra Viviani and supervised by the team composed of Prof. Maria Rita Mancaniello, Prof. Laura Occhini, and Dr. Sonia Grassini, and in which I actively participated in every phase, stems from an integrated vision of well-being that intertwines psychological, educational, and social dimensions, valuing the university as a space for care, learning, and community. The goal pursued is not only to reduce forms of distress, but to promote students’ ability to recognize, understand, and manage their emotions, developing relational, empathetic, and communicative skills consistent with the life skills defined by the WHO.
In this perspective, ProBen is configured as a pedagogical device for prevention and promotion, founded on the synergy between counseling services, peer education, empirical research, experiential training, and technological innovation. The approach adopted does not separate psychological care from the educational dimension, but recognizes that well-being is also a competence to be learned and practiced in university life. The intervention therefore combines individual and collective listening tools with practices of participation and community empowerment, valuing student agency as an educational lever.
