Protagonisti della legalità. Un laboratorio esperienziale di educazione civica e antimafia nella scuola secondaria = Agents of Legality. An Experiential Workshop on Civic and Anti-Mafia Education in Secondary Schools

The contribution presents an experiential workshop aimed at middle and high schools. The initiative arises from the need to overcome a transmissive approach to education on legality, promoting active and participatory learning based on theatre, cooperative play, and collective reflection. The workshop accompanies students from knowledge of mafia-related phenomena to the personal re-elaboration of the values of justice, respect, and responsibility. The method integrates bodily, emotional, and symbolic languages, enhancing participation and mutual trust. The group leader acts as a facilitator, creating a protected and inclusive context. The theatrical activities make it possible to explore roles and power dynamics, supporting awareness and active citizenship.
