Osservatorio Permanente Giovani-Editori (OPGE) is an Italian nonprofit organization based in Florence, Italy whose aim is to develop critical thinking of younger generations through its leadership in media education, economic-financial literacy, and quality information in the classroom.[1][2][3][4][5] Officially founded on June 5, 2000, it promotes and organizes events, educational programs, books and research on the topics of civility and critical thinking, with millions of students and tens of thousands of teachers, primarily from secondary schools, involved over the years.[6][7][8]

Chaired and founded by Andrea Ceccherini,[9] the Osservatorio Permanente Giovani-Editori has developed numerous projects over the years. Notable among these are “Il Quotidiano in Classe” (“Quality Information in the Classroom”, a media literacy project designed to develop critical thinking),[6] “Young Factor” (an economic and financial literacy project),[10] “Technology - Digital Literacy” (focused on enhancing digital knowledge awareness),[11] “E-Project” (an initiative related to ecological literacy), and “Il Giornale in Ateneo” (targeted at Italian universities to bring students closer to quality information).[12]

The organization's slogan is “Connecting Young People with the Future”.
