Campania's Lex Start program engages 100+ youth in regional lawmaking
The third edition of Lex Start – a youth‑focused legislative initiative in Campania – was launched in the regional council chamber. More than one hundred young people from secondary schools, universities and local youth forums participated, under the guidance of regional councillor Andrea Volpe, who created the programme. President of the Regional Council Massimiliano Manfredi attended and highlighted the project’s role in shaping future public‑service leaders.
Lex Start seeks to bridge the gap between young citizens and institutions. A proposal generated in an earlier edition was enacted into law to promote classical music, opera and theatre among Campania’s youth, and the most recent cohort produced six new legislative proposals. Organisers stress that direct interaction with lawmakers helps turn youthful ideas into concrete policy.
