An interesting initiative to promote the participation of citizens inside and outside the squares is also scheduled for Thursday 11 October, from 11.00 to 13.00, when, during the press conference to present the event, the promoters of the campaign will make an appointment for a mobilization virtual on Twitter. The idea is to support the initiative via social media through a tweetstorm, i.e. a simultaneous flow of tweets with the event's official hashtags: #iononrischio and #iononrischio2018.
