🎀 PINK OCTOBER 2026 | "ACT FOR LIFE" On the occasion of Pink October, a month dedicated to raising awareness and fighting breast cancer, a special thought was expressed at the opening of our work for women affected by this disease, those who continue their fight, and the families who support them. The fight against breast cancer is a major public health issue. It requires collective and sustainable mobilization around prevention, awareness, and early detection. This year's campaign, themed "Act for Life," invites us to strengthen our commitment and support those who work daily in this struggle, particularly the Senegalese League Against Cancer. Our institution reaffirms its commitment to contribute to awareness-raising efforts, promote early detection, and support initiatives in favor of the fight against breast cancer.

Edu Aguirre (journalist and friend of Cristiano Ronaldo) explains the situation behind the scenes. For him, it's a betrayal: “There was a meeting on Tuesday night. Between the president of the federation, Jorge Jesus, and Cristiano. Jorge Jesus apologized to Cristiano for the disrespect of making him warm up for 30 minutes without putting him in the game. And he didn't just apologize privately. He also told him that he would apologize publicly. That he would publicly say that he had made a mistake. That was Jorge Jesus's promise to Cristiano. And then he goes to a press conference and spits out a whole series of lies that no one believes. That's why Cristiano explodes. He feels betrayed. That's all. That's how it is. Your coach comes to see you privately and says: "Listen, here's what happened, I understand, okay? I didn’t handle this well. We’re together. I’m sorry. If I have a press conference, I will clarify things. I will apologize. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Everything will be resolved.” Then 12 hours later, you hold a press conference and make things worse for Cristiano, asserting your authority and making it clear that you are in charge and that Cristiano is just one player among others. Go home and move on. That's why I say: betrayal.” (translated)

145 years since the history of the Girondins was written in Bordeaux. In 145 years, there have been victories that seemed eternal, evenings when Bordeaux did not sleep, players who became Legends, goals that we still see with our eyes closed. There have been chants, tears, raised arms, shivers, embraces with strangers who became, for the space of a moment, one family. There have also been defeats, doubts, and darker days. Because loving a club means sharing its joys as well as its sorrows, the peaks as well as the storms. And continuing to look at this crest with the same emotion. Today, a new page is opening. And to write it, we will need you. From those who loved it, from those who love it, and from those who will love it tomorrow because the history of the Girondins does not only belong to the past. 145 years behind us. And a whole life to write, together. Go Bordeaux 💙🤍 (translated)

Ce matin, la police municipale de Saint-Denis a tiré au LBD au lycée Suger. Quand on ne prive pas les policiers de leurs armes, ils en font usage pour faire taire la colère lycéenne. Depuis la semaine dernière, nous interpellons @BallyBagayoko et la majorité LFI de la ville sur cette question. Est-ce qu'il faut attendre qu'un jeune soit éborgné pour réagir ? Nous sommes aux côtés des élus LFI sur les blocus. Mais si on défend la colère lycéenne et son droit à s'exprimer, on ne peut pas se contenter d'être présent. La mairie LFI doit se positionner sur des mesures concrètes : le retrait des policiers municipaux des lycées, la suppression du LBD et de toutes les armes ayant blessé des lycéens et exiger l'abandon des poursuites contre l'ensemble des lycéens réprimés. #SaintDenis #Lycéens #Sécurité

🚨 Communiqué de Manchester City : « Manchester City est à la fois DÉÇU et SURPRIS par l'avis de la Commission de la Premier League, qui a été publié aujourd'hui. LE CLUB EST INNOCENT des accusations portées par la Premier League et un ensemble complet de preuves irréfutables existent à l'appui. Le Club sera donc implacable et, si nécessaire, proactif, dans tous les forums réglementaires et juridiques appropriés. La procédure de la Premier League est toujours en cours, certains éléments importants n’ayant pas encore été finalisés. Manchester City va désormais exercer LES VOIES DE RECOURS QUI LUI SONT OUVERTES, au motif que cet avis contient manifestement DES ERREURS substantielles de droit, de principe et de fait, et qu’il n’est pas juridiquement fiable. Le Club a scrupuleusement respecté la procédure régulière pendant 8 ans, partant du principe que le conseil d’administration et la direction de la Premier League agiraient comme un régulateur indépendant, impartial et équitable, à l’abri de toute influence partisane. Le Club est évidemment limité dans les commentaires supplémentaires qu’il peut formuler jusqu’à ce que toutes les procédures à venir soient achevées. » #ManchesterCity #PremierLeague #Football

Mitico Magazine - The Teatro Edicola of San Severo: A Model of Cultural Revolution for Stanford University as Well Source: https://www.miticomagazine.com/territorio-e-sociale/teatro-edicola-di-san-severo-un-modello-di-rivoluzione-culturale-anche-per-la-stanford-university/ The Teatro Edicola in Via Tondi In San Severo, a singular metamorphosis has taken place: a newsstand abandoned for at least six years has found a new function and a new identity, transforming into one of the smallest and most unusual theatre stages in the world. An experiment born in the heart of the town which, in just a few months, has moved beyond local boundaries, attracting attention even overseas. It is called Teatro Edicola and it is a project conceived by the company Foyer '97, artistically directed by Francesco Gravino, which has brought the old newsstand in Via Tondi back to life through a formula that is both essential and surprising. Foyer '97 Foyer '97 APS was established as a formally constituted association active in the cultural sector in San Severo in 1997, born from the vocation of a group of actors, directors and theatre enthusiasts, with the aim of building a "living" and accessible theatre in the town. Over the years the company has developed a repertoire that includes texts from the classical tradition, contemporary dramaturgy, comedy and experimental projects, not limiting itself to the mere production of theatre shows, but also organising theatre courses and workshops and educational and cultural projects characterised by a strong inclusive ethos, particularly in schools. Foyer '97 does not always have a fixed artistic ensemble, but works with different performers and collaborators depending on the project; the only indispensable presence is that of Francesco Guido Gravino himself, actor, director and artistic director of the theatre company. The distinctive feature of Foyer '97 is certainly the value of social and cultural promotion attributed to theatre, the extremely close relationship with the audience and the search for a type of theatre outside conventional spaces, with cemeteries, trains, bell towers, and now a newsstand, as its backdrop. Six spectators, a few minutes and a minimal distance between stage and audience The project was launched on 27 March 2026, on the occasion of World Theatre Day, offering a theatrical experience built around a radical reduction of the conventional spaces and times of performance. The idea was born not only from the search for unconventional spaces, but also from "Edicola Fiore", the morning press review with a strongly ironic tone presented by Rosario Fiorello and Stefano Meloccaro, which was broadcast first only on Fiorello's social channels between 2011 and 2014, and then also on radio and television between 2016 and 2018. The review took its name from the diminutive of its founder, Fiore, and from the newsstand of a friend of Fiorello's in Via Flaminia Nuova in Rome, where the showman would meet early in the morning with a group of friends to read the newspapers. The San Severo newsstand was granted free of charge by its owner Pino Frau to the theatre group which, after obtaining temporary authorisation and institutional support from the Municipality of San Severo, refurbished it within two weeks at a cost of less than €3,000. Just six seats, a total surface area of 4 sq m, of which only 2 are for the stage area, less than a metre between actors and audience, a curtain, a lectern, two lights, performances lasting between 5 and 15 minutes, audience rotation every quarter of an hour: apparently minimal elements that end up subverting the usual relationship between stage and auditorium. Spectators, in fact, find themselves immersed in the stage action, in such proximity to the actors that every gesture, expression and word becomes immediately perceptible. In this way, theatre abandons its traditional spaces and insinuates itself into the everyday life of the street, becoming an intimate, concentrated and almost participatory experience. During the inaugural period admission was free with a subsequent voluntary donation from spectators; in the event of a more stable and longer-term concession, which could lead to seasonal theatre performances, the proposed ticket price would be €5. Audiences reward the experiment Foyer '97's gamble met with public interest right from the start: over 60 people attended the shows in a single afternoon, while the three days that inaugurated the season sold out. From a singular local experiment, the Teatro Edicola thus began to arouse curiosity even outside the province of Foggia, gradually transforming into a case of cultural and social interest, until it reached the American continent. From the province of Foggia to the "Stanford Social Innovation Review" The San Severo experience has now come under the international spotlight: in September 2026, the Stanford Social Innovation Review, an international journal and platform dedicated to social innovation published by the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University in California, published on its website and in the Fall 2026 print edition the reportage "The Six-Seat Revolution", written by Dr Luciano Magaldi Sardella, independent journalist and researcher affiliated with the European Open University, and editorially supervised by deputy editor David V. Johnson. In the article, it is argued that the Teatro Edicola attracted attention overseas because the project concentrates cultural innovation, urban regeneration and proximity theatre into just a few square metres: starting from a real urban problem, it recovers an abandoned place with a modest investment, brings performance directly into public space and experiments with a much closer relationship between actors and spectators. From the point of view of theatrical representation, it also highlights how the format, based on micro-stories of five to twelve minutes, taken from great classics such as Goldoni, Chekhov, Ibsen, Euripides and Benni, and on audience rotation every fifteen minutes, transforms the physical limitations of the space into a precise dramaturgical choice, proving to be extremely innovative. All of this makes it possible to address some of the main critical issues in the sector: falling audience numbers, an exclusively elderly audience, reduced resources and distance from traditional cultural venues. The journal also highlights, however, the potential problems: economic sustainability, the need for stable institutional support and the difficulty of replicating the model, which is closely linked to the community and territory of San Severo. A model looking beyond San Severo Despite the difficulties, initial requests for information have already arrived from Lucca and Rome, where there is curiosity about the possibility of getting to know the model more closely and the steps needed to replicate it. The replicability formula, in fact, does not seem to require particularly costly infrastructure: an unused space, a targeted intervention, a cultural idea, in-depth knowledge of the surrounding area and a willingness to return that place to the community can be enough to trigger a new urban function. It is precisely in the disproportion between the modesty of the resources employed and the resonance generated by the initiative that perhaps the most original feature of the Teatro Edicola lies, certainly unique of its kind; there are, however, other examples in Italy of newsstands reused for other purposes: "Edicola 518", a twentieth-century kiosk abandoned in the centre of Perugia, now dedicated to independent publishing, art and cultural production; and in Rome itself, the abandoned newsstand in Piazza Testaccio used temporarily as a stage for a show by Fabio Morgan and the Erno newsstand in the Prati district, which almost every month offers a calendar of events, exhibitions, pop-ups and collaborations with artists and creative enterprises. Small revolutions, therefore, that tell stories of the reappropriation of urban spaces, of creativity and social innovation. And which, it is hoped, will take root in order to look ever further afield.
