Abstract
Can promoting a European identity favor youth’s moral development and
positive attitudes towards immigrants? Two studies have been carried out to
investigate this research questions. Almost 1000 Italian young people (14-25
years old) participated in the studies. The results have provided some evidence
that, actually, identifying with the European Union is associated with youth’s
higher levels of identification with the moral values funding the EU and higher
levels of openness towards immigrants. Therefore, policies and educational interventions
should be realized in order to promote the development of a European
identity among youngsters.
