Italian, civic education and computer skills imparted through four months of lessons in a multimedia laboratory with practical exercises and simulations. The 54 individuals from nine different countries who participated in this pilot project for “integrated training” obtained their first results half way through the course. The quality of their daily life - both private and professional – improved as they learned how to communicate with the community and build new interpersonal relationships. Twenty-two participants were women, mostly from India.
The original didactic programme of Project “LC2 – Language, Culture and Computers: key competences for integration”, co-financed by the European Union (European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals) integrates language, computer skills and cultural notions through the use of new technologies. The courses were held in a multimedia laboratory and all participants received a didactic kit designed for an on-line learning environment; moreover, linguistic and cultural mediation was available to all course participants.
The objective of the project is the full integration of foreign nationals residing in Anzio and Lavinio, two municipalities that rank sixth in the province of Rome in terms of foreign presence (over 4000 foreign residents or more than 8% of the total population).
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale is the lead partner of the project and collaborates with the Eriches 29 Consortium of Social Cooperatives, the Province of Rome and the Municipality of Anzio. Operative partners include KStudio Associato (network KPMG), Cooperative Il Percorso and the Centro linguistico Hughes. Fifty-four immigrant citizens attended the courses: 32 men and 22 women, prevalently from India and Pakistan. They are the protagonists of today’s event that will be held at the headquarters of the provincial police where the courses were also held.
