Ciccotti joined 20 students from the I.C. Viale Vega secondary school, as she discussed the importance of fair play and equality in modern society.
Ciccotti was speaking a week after playing her part as the Giallorosse won the Coppa Italia.
"Personally speaking I have been lucky, because I've never experienced discrimination for being a woman playing football," Ciccotti said.
"I've always had people around me who have supported me and helped me in the pursuit of my goals. But I know it is not like that for everyone."
She added: "Even today, a lot of women still have to fight to pursue their dreams, or even just to play a sport that some seem to think is just for men. There are a lot of people who still ask if women's football is the same as the men's game - because so many don't know our world - although things are slowly moving in the right direction."
The 'A Scuola di Tifo' (A School for Fans) project has continued throughout the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, with Roma players joining students via online classrooms.
The Roma Cares project aims to teach the next generation of students about the importance of elements like fair play, respect, equality and more.
