Italian educational and social institutions continue to address the intersection of technological advancement, youth welfare, and civic legality. Recent efforts have expanded to include specific programs targeting organized crime awareness and digital literacy. In Puglia, the ‘Mi Impegno per la legalità’ competition has been announced for the 2026/2027 school year, encouraging students to create works addressing corruption, usury, and organized crime. Similarly, the Scuola Popolare Antimafia is launching a training course in Varese to educate on the history of criminal organizations like Cosa Nostra and the Camorra. In Rome, the State Police’s 14th ‘Una Vita da Social’ campaign is engaging secondary students on the risks of artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and digital content manipulation. Community-level support for adolescent development is also intensifying. In Novi Ligure, the ‘Insieme si vince – Orizzonti sicuri’ project provides educators and families with tools to prevent youth distress and promote responsible technology use. Montalto di Castro’s ‘Navigare l’adolescenza’ program utilizes psychology and neuroscience to help parents navigate the emotional and digital challenges of adolescence. Furthering holistic youth development, the Fondazione Molinari in Civitavecchia has launched the PYD Start and ERMES projects, utilizing ceramics and theatre workshops to support psychological well-being. Additionally, at the Festival della Biblioterapia in Laveno, experts discussed ‘Video Game Therapy,’ suggesting that when used correctly, video games can serve as tools for personal expression and social restructuring rather than just sources of problematic behavior. In Ruvo di Puglia, the ‘La città che parla’ project is engaging local youth through digital creativity. Part of the ‘Ruvo Solidale Genera Bellezza’ program, the initiative includes Scratch programming workshops for children to design video games inspired by their city, alongside community activities like treasure hunts.
