The IIS Evangelista Torricelli School in Rome, directed by Anna Maria Scala, has always helped to promote literacy for citizens at risk of exclusion. After various editions of Grandparents on the Internet, the school is now taking on a new challenge: the peer training of young migrants.
Today, Monday, February 5, from 10 to 12, the will be the first meeting of a course to promote the digital literacy of migrants. The course will meet every Monday, for a total of 12 lessons
The students working as peer tutors will receive credit for a school-work programme coordinated by Professor Maria Mascheretti, the school’s passionate and experienced coordinator for Project Grandparents on the Internet.
Starting today, the school will open its doors to the foreign citizens staying at the reception centre on via Amarilli. Other students will be sent over by the Red Cross.
The new class includes 15 students from ten countries, mostly in Africa. Their average age is 25.
Debora Cavallo will welcome the students on behalf of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
