Ayuso and UFC Champion Ilia Topuria Sign Madrid Protocol to Tackle School Bullying and Drug Use

The pact assigns Topuria a formal ambassador role with school visits plus outreach to juvenile centers and media campaigns.

Overview

  • The collaboration was signed at the Antonio Fraguas 'Forges' public institute in the Madrid region, marking the official launch of the initiative.
  • The program will roll out conferences, school talks, exercise-based activities and tailored support to promote inclusion and steer adolescents away from substances.
  • Topuria told students he had suffered bullying and urged them to speak up, framing sport and discipline as alternatives to risky paths.
  • He will deliver motivational sessions in schools and centers for juvenile offenders and take part in regional anti-drug messaging across media, podcasts and other content.
  • Officials cited 233 anonymous reports of drug use received through school mailboxes as impetus for action, linking the effort to the 2024–27 regional anti-drug plan funded with €200 million and 90 measures.
