Dalle storie ai bisogni. Dare voce alle famiglie straniere nei servizi educativi per l’infanzia, U.I. Sistema formativo integrato Infanzia e Adoles-cenza, Centro RiESco, Comune di Bologna (2018)

More than thirty years after the emergence of first systematic migrant flows, and more than twenty-five years after its creation, the Documentation Centre – Laboratory on Intercultural Education (CDLEI) of the Municipality of Bologna, decides to focus on the question of foreign families, and inclusion of their children in schools and educational services.

Through this report, the Centre explores the ability of the education system, and especially of childhood services to face up to the plurality and complexity of the phenomenon, as well as the concomitant needs.

The review of scientific production (at national and interna-tional levels) is added by the experience of the Centre as observatory of educational and school services’ needs.

The Centre provides Italian-language teaching service for foreign and non-Italian-speaking pupils attending the first level schools in Bologna. In addition to this, the Centre offers linguistic and cultural mediation service to all schools of the first level, and to all educational services of the integrated educational system (nursery schools).

Considering a little research work done, it is a priority to pay attention to the relationship between families and ECEC services.

Focus of the publication:

- migrant families and pre-school inclusion;

- relationship between migrant families and 0-6 services;

- reception of families in ECEC services;

- plurality and complexity of needs and issues;

- linguistic and cultural mediation in schools and ECEC services;

- Italian-language teaching for migrant children
