Children's community and cultural initiatives in Italy

Overview

In late August 2026, the fourteenth edition of the ‘Bimbi a Bordo’ children’s literature festival was scheduled to take place in Sardinia from August 25 to 30. Centered in Guspini with additional locations in Assemini and Oristano, the event featured approximately ninety appointments and over fifty guests, including writers and artists. The theme, ‘Bodies. Maps to inhabit the world’, focused on well-being, affective education, and relationships through activities such as readings and film screenings.

By mid-September, regional initiatives in Italy continued to focus on community engagement for children. In Cagliari, the Teatro Massimo launched the ninth edition of ‘La musica che gira in tondo’, a jazz series for children aged zero to six running through December. Simultaneously, the municipality of Verbania organized the ‘Città dei Bambini’ event, which utilized workshops and local parks to promote child participation and community connection.
