My smart padlet by Rosanna Basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k Welcome en-us 2017-05-11 21:03:15 UTC 2025-04-19 15:02:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Example activities to develop students' intercultural competence Community-based projects ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171369049 RespAct is very interesting. In my school the PE colleague organized a similar project. All students cooperated with the same and common interest. This project involved migrants and their parents too. It was funny and inclusive. It helps development of many emotional skills. Now we have been working since two months to program new projects. One of these deals with food in different cultures.]]> 2017-05-11 21:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171369049 Challenges and opportunities ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171369575 Integration of newly arrived migrant students is a huge challenge. I often feel alone in similar situations and I agree with Prof.Dr. Pant this difficult challenge is a richness opportunity for rethinking our schools. The idea of welcome classroom is not hard to realize. In the past when I offered newly arrived students to talk about their cultural situation and experiences, they became more motivate to learn our language to integrate and the other students more available. So, I think a cultural space could be a great opportunity to better relationships.

They are often involved in additional Italian language courses and teachers always support them with special program plan.]]> 2017-05-11 21:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171369884 Preparing for arrival ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370038 I work in a third class of a secondary school where there are two Moroccan students. The first time I met them, I asked from where they went and how long they have been in Italy, what it was the difference between our school and theirs. They were happy to be in a confidential and almost familiar atmosphere  in the class while in their country there is a wall between students and teachers. When they shared this information I highlighted hospitality of other students and their positive behavior. It was an emotional and of strong empathy relationship.

Our program plans try to help them with specific objectives. My school organizes courses of Italian language and thanks to a project this year a psychologist supports them. ]]> 2017-05-11 21:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370244 Supporting language learning ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370416 There are many ideas on the Internet.

In these games, newly arrived migrants have been well integrated into the sports teams. I think group games are useful because they favour integration. Last month I proposed a puzzle game to improve vocabulary. Everyone has created a personal puzzle with his favourite subject and then changed the game to execute. The outcome were useful for a role play.]]> 2017-05-11 21:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370523 Classroom community building ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370611 I cannot use sport for my activities because I am not PE teacher. In Italy the PE teachers only use sport games for didactic aims. I collaborate with my colleague  with  interdisciplinary modules, e.g. sport games in different country.]]> 2017-05-11 21:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171370611 Integration Course Development Plan ros_basso https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/171371072

Current situation | Where do you want to get to? | Steps / Actions to achieve this | Who can support this? | Timeframe / Deadline
Refugee students do not have not special language classes in. The only support is a teachers’ special plan.  I encourage students to help each other. At the moment there are not newly arrived migrants. They have been since a few years and have already spoken Italian but they need a linguistic consolidation | We need more  after-work language activities Next school year, I will introduce a specific project focusing on all vocabulary necessary in a classroom environment, possibly also coordinated with the colleagues of support for students in difficulties.. |  1. Contact parents to ask for volunteers to help out with after-school language conversation groups especially of refugee camp 2. Peer tutoring, cooperative learning3. Contact local authority to enquire about  volunteers to run language classes   |  Headteacher, Parents’ representative and Referent of languages department |  Within the next 12 months  we should have at least some improvement in the after-school offer for students     
Specific Actions
First step: Monitoring the presence of migrants into our school.Second step: Contact parents Third step: Contact Association for recruitment of new minor migrants as our school students and offer them our services to improve the local inclusive society.  |  Find available colleagues for after school courses |  1.

I like very much your ideas on inclusion. Besides the teaching activities and plan, reading your diary I can feel your empathy with your students. I could imagine the games and the hospitality tour rounded by students' smiles and how they could enjoy it. Am I wrong? ]]> 2017-05-16 20:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ros_basso/tu9kx234g19k/wish/172196140
