Learning outcomes

Services dedicated to children are multicultural and require intercultural pedagogy. The teaching wants to offer a pedagogical baggage to guide the thinking and the educational action with the children and their families.

In particular we will address the following topics:

- knowing how to "situate" both to "start from oneself" and to read one's point of observation. Knowing how to situate from a geopolitical point of view based on images of immigrant, foreign, family, maternity and paternity is a first step in identifying how one's gaze towards the other is oriented not only by personal but also collective history .

- The risks of racialization in educational contexts. It is not the differences that divide or prevent the relationship, rather the ways in which they are observed and placed in the system of values and of the culture of belonging.

- The practice of cultural mediation is first and foremost an acquisition of know-how. We will know the main theoretical models of Cultural Mediation to identify educational paths that take into account the linguistic and cultural aspects of children and their parents.

- Know how to identify and bring out the educational resources of families and communities of belonging.
