Over 290 projects for schools that are increasingly open to the local area
The new Map of the Educating City 2025-2026 was presented yesterday morning in the presence of Mayor Roberto Gualtieri and Councillor for Education, Training and Employment Claudia Pratelli.
The Map brings together the free educational, training and cultural opportunities available to students, teachers and schools of all levels in Rome, promoting a city that educates and grows together.
Now in its fourth edition, the Map involves 294 projects and 32 cultural, social and health institutions in the capital. Over 400 people attended the presentation, including teachers, school administrators, students and representatives from the world of education.
Among the main new features this year is the new interactive website mappacittaeducante.roma.it, which allows schools and teachers to explore and choose the projects best suited to their educational needs.
The initiative, promoted by the Department of Education, Training and Employment of Roma Capitale, is an important tool for combating educational poverty and enhancing the city's educational community, based on collaboration between institutions, schools and the third sector.
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale on the Map
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS is also participating in the new edition of the Map with nine projects that promote educational innovation, digital citizenship and the development of skills for the future.
