Abstract

The empirical-experimental research, with an international character, proposes, in a series of didactically structured steps, to introduce the students of the public schools to the learning of ethical principles. The didactic project is also a response to the moral void, to the growing nihilism that is occurring more and more in Europe and in the world and aims, precisely, globally, to strengthen and promote in public schools the importance of ethics as a field of teaching and learning. In a world of mass migration and increasingly multi-ethnic schools, the need for ethics and the importance of moral action are prerequisites for civil coexistence and peaceful and democratic dialogue between peoples. Since this is a didactic-experimental project, the research offers not only a theoretical-ethical-philosophical level of reflection, but also empirical instruments for the quantitative-qualitative verification of the ethical competences to be acquired.
