Between 2014 and 2018, more than 70,000 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) arrived to Italy crossing the sea; 90% were between 15 and 17 years old[1]<\/a>. Social inclusion of young people with migrant background has become an urgent priority<\/strong> on the European agenda. The barriers towards this aim are many and diversified, and sometimes they may be difficult to detect: the student\u2019s fear of rejection or academic failure, shame associated with the need to leave or escape, undiagnosed trauma, differences in the new educational system<\/strong>. In addition, these may be involuntarily posed by the teacher\u2019s lack of time or appropriate intercultural and multilinguistic skills.<\/p>\n

Social inclusion is an indispensable element for the construction of one\u2019s own identity<\/strong> and for the creation of a sense of belonging to the group<\/strong>. Education is fundamental to ensure greater socio-economic inclusion and future opportunities to youngsters with a migrant background.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is time to intervene through innovative, inclusive and multicultural teaching models<\/strong>, able to involve families with migrant background and to prevent the risk of social exclusion, gaps in school performance and the escalation of early school leaving.<\/p>\n

Which strategies can be promoted for the inclusion of students with migrant background?<\/h2>\n

This and other questions were addressed during the 1st<\/sup> Info Day of the Erasmus+ project TEACHmi<\/strong>, which took place on Friday 16th<\/sup> October 2020, in \u201cAl Fresco Giardino & Bistrot\u201d (Palermo, Italy). The event, celebrated during the Erasmus+ days 2020, was an opportunity for comparison and constructive dialogue<\/strong>, involving schools, local organizations and representatives of the Municipality of Palermo.<\/p>\n

The concept of inclusive didactic was dealt with through some interactive activities, identifying connections with the objectives and next steps of the project.<\/p>\n

The first output, the \u201cToolbox of Teaching languages of schooling for students with migrant background and integration practices<\/strong>\u201d will be soon available online and will be presented during a three-day seminar between February and April.<\/p>\n
