Immigration and cultural integration
Italian / English language course
This course must make you understand what is meant by cultural integration
Cultural integration means creating a society in which different cultures coexist peacefully and enrich each other. This not only promotes diversity and tolerance, but also helps build a stronger and more cohesive society. Cultural integration is also important for sustainability.
It is aimed at all school staff and proposes the multiculturalist model with thematic workshops linked to specific topics and needs, which may concern the themes of work, training, sociality, creativity and orientation. Some techniques are used aimed at facilitating the communicative and relational processes inherent in group work: from problem solving to assertive communication, from “nourishing” feedback to team building (the “building of the group”, through a set of activities whose purpose is the formation of a group of people who share the same objectives). The course will take place in Naples and Modena
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of a cultural integration in the European context;
- Work in groups to understand the local reality in relation to the migrants
present in the city of Modena/Napoli/Ascoli - Cooperate with foreign students to understand how and if they have
integrated into the local reality while maintaining their cultural identity - Know the Italian organization for welcoming foreign students
Metodology and Assessment
All our courses include an active and participatory methodology. Each phase of the training is focused on achieving the objectives set and participants are constantly encouraged to carry out practical experiences to replicate in the classroom with their students. Our methodology is based above all on communication and practical learning. Throughout the process, digital tools that improve both the understanding and production of texts will provide valid help and support.
For each module, final group work is used which stimulates discussion and creates motivating learning experiences by putting each planned action into a situation.
All useful material for the course, such as teaching cards, pens and pencils, gadgets, illustrative material and wifi will be provided by the association. Participants must have their own tablet
