Manifesto of Secular Pedagogy

Abstract

This Manifesto is the work of the Movimento della pedagogia laica, which emerged on 11 December 2025 from the Rome seminar devoted to the Agenda della pedagogia laica, to which the present work is closely connected. The movement recognises itself in the Italian Constitution and is situated within the pluralist framework of the Italian pedagogical community. The drafting of this Manifesto was carried out through collective work organised into groups and subgroups, corresponding to thematic areas and themes. The text reflects the pluralism of ideas that distinguishes the movement, while sharing a common secular inspiration.
