Course contents

INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION FOR INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION

The first part of the workshop aims to offer knowledge and food for thought on intercultural education.

- in the family in adoption, particularly inter-ethnic and international.

- and in educational services for children. In particular with reference to the reception of adopted children of foreign origin and the relationship between adoptive parents and educators/educators.

The second part of the workshop will involve female and male students in different in-depth studies that will be agreed upon together with the participants.

For example:

1)

-Analysis of illustrated books to talk about different family types, including foster families.

- Processing in subgroups of illustrated books (contents and images) to talk about adoption or to address important issues in the adoption experience from an intercultural point of view with the youngest children.

2)

-The experience of educators/educators and teachers in welcoming children adopted in the educational services (planning with children and relationships with families).

During the workshop it is expected the presence of guests who will be able to talk about the adoption experience carried out in first person as children and/or parents.

The final part of the workshop - also for evaluation purposes - foresees the presentation to all participants of the work carried out in subgroup: materials produced; data collected; overall reflections; shared discussion.
