The practice consisted on a debate and a preparation for it on a specific topic. Debates are common forms of exercise in Anglo-Saxon high schools and universities, in which two or more teams dispute on a topic. In September 2016 a group of Scalcerle's students asked their teacher to have more information about Italian Constitution and the political system. In Italy, in December 2016, there would have been a referendum to confirm or not confirm the government proposal for changing Italian Constitution. These students (18 years old) had to vote for the first time in their life. For that reason, they wanted to know more about current Italian Constitution and its possible reforms if the Referendum results would have turned for changing the Italian Constitution. 3 At the same moment, a group of teachers was engaged on elaborating procedures to encourage students civic participation. Knowing that the students were interested, these teachers proposed the school to elaborate some lessons for the students of the last classes (target groups are young people between 17-19), in order to examine with them and to increase knowledge on: the rule of law, the Italian Constitution and also the characteristic of Constitutional transformations about which students and all citizens were asked to vote.
