Students and active citizenship around the Constitution
About Civic Education Festival
The Constitution Explained by Young People
The Civic Education Festival is the initiative that in Isernia, the capital of Molise, places high school students at the center of a journey of active citizenship. Promoted by the Prefecture of Isernia together with the Regional School Office for Molise and the 'Lello Lombardi' Foundation ETS, the festival annually addresses a constitutional theme, translating it into concrete and creative activities.
Article 9 at the Center
The second edition, in 2026, focused on Article 9 of the Constitution, broken down into three areas: culture and research, protection of landscape and environment, and historical and artistic heritage. Students produced podcasts, video interviews, and multimedia works, gaining field experience such as a visit to the Chamber of Deputies and meetings with institutional representatives.
A Model Becoming National
The program also included exercises with Civil Protection to observe decision-making processes in emergencies. The final event, with the awards ceremony, was held at the Auditorium of the 'Fermi-Mattei' Institute in Isernia. Due to its value, the project will be presented as a national pilot within the seminars of the Historical Archive of the Presidency of the Republic.
