Il diritto a imparare il diritto. Cultura della cittadinanza e istruzione giuridica nelle scuole superiori

The pandemic has mercilessly highlighted deficits in Italian high schools, but it has been a long time since students, teachers, school staff and other stakeholders asked for decisive innovation. In this paper, this drive for change will be studied in terms of renovation in light of the fundamental axes of the 21st century competences: the so-called STEM competences, on the one hand, and transversal, digital, civic and social competences, on the other. Regarding this second order of competences, the author will focus on the role of legal education, to underline how the teaching of law is also required to renew itself, in terms of contents and methods, in light of the profound changes that its very object is experiencing due to globalization and digitalization.
