ROAD MAP. Percorsi possibili per l’inclusione

The ROAD MAP – Possible Paths for Inclusion project aims to enhance, from a multicultural perspective, the teaching offer of the “Della Torre” and “Chiavari 2” Comprehensive Institutes in Chiavari (GE), promoting diversity as a positive value. The institute has approximately 27% of students with non-Italian citizenship, around 38% of whom are enrolled in the “Mazzini” primary school. The actions coordinated by the University for Foreigners of Siena (Tools for Inclusion) include a training course for the institutes’ teachers on the topics of bilingualism and plurilingual education. This is followed by a teaching pilot phase aimed at creating classroom pathways that foster the inclusion of students with a migrant background, support their learning, and encourage metalinguistic reflection, while valuing linguistic diversity within the whole class group. The University’s activities also involve monitoring these educational pathways and providing support for lesson planning. The training course also includes the participation of cultural mediators from the local association Il Villaggio del Ragazzo, with whom collaboration is planned to provide linguistic support both during classroom activities (assisting teachers) and during meetings with families. The project involves approximately 40 participants, including teachers and mediators, and aims to reach around 600 children in total.
