Intercultural Education and Migrant Women. The CDCC's Project No. 7: "The Education and Cultural Development of Migrants."
Cerri Negrini, Maria Ausilia
The paper reports issues and outcomes of a seminar on intercultural education and migrant women organized by Italy as part of the Council of Europe's 1981 Council for Cultural Co-operation (CDCC) Project No. 7. Sub-themes of the seminar were the migratory situation at the local level (departures and returns, particularly in the context of the situation of women), school and out-of-school experiments in the light of relations between school and family, and education in human rights and the situation of migrants. Work in the plenary session focused on migrant women and children as the "weak link" in the chain of emigration, the March 1984 Regional Act No. 10 covering returning emigrants, returning migrant women as a "mediating resource," intercultural education as a means to combat discrimination, features of intercultural education, and implementation of human rights education. Proposals of four working parties included formation of a permanent team of teachers, psychologists, and social workers in schools concerned with the reintegration of migrants; establishment of committees of mothers of returnee pupils to provide regular contacts with teachers; and cultural exchanges between European schools. Areas needing continued attention included educational assistance for interculturalism, involvement of returning women with other women, youth exchanges, and original language and culture maintenance.
