The State Police in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Merit and the support of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, presented the new edition of the school diary “My Diary”, intended to 50,000 students of the future fourth classes of some provinces of the national territory. The school agenda is presented as a teaching support tool in the education of tomorrow’s citizens and aims, through content and simple language, to bring very young citizens closer to the culture of legality, providing a contribution in education to respect rules and values of civil coexistence. To date, the project, now in its 11th edition, has made it possible to reach over 630,000 students from public and private schools. This year the diary will be distributed in the provinces of Agrigento, Alessandria, Avellino, Catanzaro, Cremona, Foggia, Macerata, Parma, Perugia, Prato, Treviso and Trieste. The protagonists of the agenda are the superheroes of legality Vis and Musa who, with the help of their four-legged friends Lampo and Saetta, the parrot Gea and the kitten Cosmo, will accompany the young students during the school year with their adventures through which address the issues of health, sport, care of the environment, social inclusion, road safety education, the correct use of the internet and social networks, but also the most common phenomena of youth deviance, such as bullying and cyberbullying. In addition to the friends of the State Police, among the interpreters there is also the well-known character of children’s literature Geronimo Stilton, which he will offer in turn important contributions of value and entertainment. For the edition dedicated to the 2024-2025 school year, in addition to the themes that have formed the structure of the diary for years, the topics that the Ministry of Education and Merit has included in the programs of the Civic Education subject will be addressed: the Constitution, sustainable development and digital citizenship. From this perspective, “My Diary” can also represent an effective educational complement for teachers and parents and for State Police personnel engaged in legality education activities in the area on a daily basis.
