The 11^th edition of the “Positive Psychology and interconnection: real and virtual communities” Days will take place on 15^th and 16^th June, 2018 at the University of Bari, and it will be focused on the perspectives and the potentialities of the virtual community as facilitator rather than obstacle for the real community. Moreover, the experts will discuss the real risks of the virtual community for the harmonic development of the human communities.

The meeting will be an occasion to present the work performed this year by the youths of KIDS Bari, the first Italian Young Advisory Group (YPAG), arisen from the collaboration among Consorzio per Valutazioni Biologiche e Farmacologiche (CVBF) along with TEDDY Network (European Network of Excellence for Paediatric Clinical Research) and the Paediatric Hospital “Giovanni XXIII”. KIDS Bari is a group of 26 youths (14 patients with chronical diseases and 12 healthy teenagers) who are actively involved in the definition of key issues and questions in the paediatric research projects as well as in the communication and sensitization activities about the healthcare by consciously using the social networks.  KIDS Bari is supported in its activities by a team of pharmacologists, pediatricians, child psychologists, researchers, research nurses and communication experts.
