Contro il bullismo, Mirko fonda un’associazione di studenti per gli studenti. L’obiettivo: dare coraggio alle vittime e combattere l’ingiustizia, perché arrendersi non è mai un’opzione. Mirko Cazzato, born in 2001, is the co-founder of Mabasta, a student movement created in 2016 to combat bullying and cyberbullying. After graduating from high school, he became the team leader, guiding a group of 60 teenagers engaged in raising awareness in schools. In 2024, Forbes Italia included him in the Top 100 Under 30 most impactful people, while in 2021, he was the only Italian in the Top 10 of the Global Student Prize, considered the “Nobel” for students. He has received numerous awards, including “Student of the Year” and “Apulian of the Year 2021,” as well as accolades for his social and entrepreneurial commitment. He has met prominent figures such as President Mattarella and Pope Francis. In 2025, he fulfilled his vision by transforming Mabasta into the first social enterprise against bullying. Over the past two years, he has involved more than 52,000 students across Italy, spreading a message of inclusion and respect.
