Zero Sei - Early Childhood Education Festival

A festival to grow together

Zero Sei - Early Childhood Education Festival is the spring event that the Municipality of Rome III Montesacro dedicates to the world of early childhood education, from birth to age six. Launched in 2024, the festival transforms the greenery of Parco delle Valli, between the Conca d'Oro and Vigne Nuove neighborhoods, into a vast space for play, discovery, and connection for local families.

The integrated 0-6 system

The event was created to promote and celebrate the integrated education and schooling system for the zero-to-six age group: municipal nurseries, play areas, and preschools that support children's growth every day. The festival brings together managers, educators, teachers, and families to build a unified and cohesive educational community, where public and private sectors collaborate toward a common goal. It is an opportunity to showcase the daily work of the Municipality's educational and school services and to reflect, together with institutions and families, on the value of the first years of life.

A day of workshops and performances

The program spans an entire day outdoors, with free activities suitable for toddlers and their parents. Festival highlights include:

• Workshops and creative play activities led by local educators and teachers;
• Installations and exploration areas set up across the park's lawns;
• Entertainment scattered throughout the park for children and families;
• Theatrical and musical performances designed for young children.

A local event in Montesacro

Zero Sei is much more than just a festival: it is a moment where Municipality III, one of the most populous in Rome, puts childhood and the right to education from the very first months of life at the center. Each edition revolves around a core theme that encourages participation and shared responsibility across the entire educational community. The setting of Parco delle Valli, a green lung in the northeast quadrant of the city, offers the ideal space for a day of shared play focused on inclusion and equal opportunities.

Who it is for

The festival is aimed at children attending nurseries, preschools, and primary schools in the Municipality of Rome III Montesacro, their families, and the entire educational community. Admission is free: just head to Parco delle Valli to enjoy a spring day dedicated to the little ones, in the heart of Rome, Lazio.
