As the book “Diritti e rovesci. Le condizioni dell’infanzia oggi” (Vita e Pensiero, Avvenire) explains,childhood is not a static space: children’s rights are realized only if they are alive, practiced, set in motion. Curiosity is also the force that drives children to ask, to explore, to express opinions and to grow with dignity. Thirty years of Popotus have ensured for the youngest an accurate and accessible form of information, a true engine of development, allowing them to know what is happening in the world and to orient themselves not only in society, but also among the challenges of our time, contributing to the formation of critical thinking.
