Educational and intercultural services
Inter-cultural activities embrace openness and a willingness to meet, and view differences as opportunities for personal and collective growth. They create opportunities for daily-life encounters, particularly for young people, in school and in their neighbourhoods, interweaving passions, hobbies, free time and study time. To this end we collaborates with various local schools.
We also run intercultural centres for Italian and migrant children. These provide caring and socialising spaces where they can mutually recognise each others different looks, life stories and identities.
Our main activities in schools are counselling in the various reception phases for pupils newly arrived in Italy, linguistic and intercultural mediation between families and school staff, Italian L2 classes, intercultural workshops for all students in a class, extracurricular activities, and work with managers and teachers to support the school in making the necessary changes to be able to offer all students equal opportunities to study.
Outside schools we promote workshops dedicated to meeting and intercultural exchange; psychological support to manage feelings, emotions and gender relationships; artistic workshops where people meet to share beauty and creativity; workshops to develop political views and ideas; active citizenship; study support; Italian L2 courses; training courses; exhibitions and events.
