Migrants and cultural integration, the Network of Schools: volunteering in the Lazio region, which is the school

the ROME - The Network Schools Migrants was created in 2009 by eleven organisations engaged in the field of migration and the teaching of Italian. Today, ten years after, is supported by the CSV of the Lazio and of the bodies that are part of more than one hundred). Among the most important names we are the Community of Sant'egidio, Caritas, Arci, and many schools and cultural centres of the district. The Italian courses are free and open to all, are the backbone of the system, while in the years there have been developed activities and workshops to engage certain members of the beneficiaries: the second generation and their parents, women alone or with children, boys and girls with special needs.

The importance of inclusion. The purpose is that of social inclusion through the learning of the Italian language and culture: in this way it is possible for foreigners to get closer not only to the world of work, but also to the community and to the services offered to the citizens. An important part of the inclusion passes from the intercultural understanding. In fact, it is important to understand the needs of the groups or individual to be able to offer a teaching really effective. Women, for example, especially if the mothers are often penalized because they find it difficult to go to the centers to follow the lessons. Many, instead, are uncomfortable in classes that are predominantly male. Some centres are, thus, the educational activities, mother-son, or to form classes only for women. And the data confirm the efficacy of this approach.

The report of schools migrants to the 2018-2019. The report, carried out by the institute IREF analyzes the data of the school year June 2018 - September 2019. The sample covers only 54% of enrollees and therefore it is partial, but provides an insight into interesting of the beneficiaries and the variety on offer, and helps understand how a service like this is important in the framework of reception and integration in the area of lazio.

Almost 11,000 foreigners have attended courses . Come in particular from Bangladesh and Peru, which represent a quarter of the sample. To follow, Nigeria, and India. Interesting to note how the number of women among members is increasing, in particular from eastern Europe and South America. With regard to men and young men, come predominantly from the african continent, in accordance with a stable trend. Also increasing your subscribers with a good degree of education, and is still about 10% of people who did not go beyond the 4 years of school.

An offer of a capillary. another important issue concerns the granularity of the offer. A part from Rome, in fact, the service is guaranteed enough to the main areas of transit and reception throughout the region, making Schools Migrant well-rooted and a model of social inclusion to follow.
