The new "Piano quadro degli studi di maturità" has introduced the teaching of transversal topics. Among these, particular attention is devoted to the topics of citizenship education, sustainable development and digitality. 

The study day intends to initiate a reflection on the educational perspectives that schools will have to deal with, involving speakers in a debate also open to the public in which various aspects linked to transversal themes will be presented.
