Project Summary

The INCLUMAP project involves 4 secondary schools (general education and VET) with a percentage of foreign students, first or second generation migrants, between 10% and 30%, distributed between Italy, Spain, Portugal, southern countries Europe for centuries exposed to migrations and cultural contamination thanks to contacts with Mediterranean populations, to which were added, in particular in the last 10 years, migratory flows coming from the former colonies or by sea, making these countries an objective for many migrants seeking access to EU.
The general objective of the project is to develop competences of active citizenship and intercultural dialogue in 320 secondary school students, to allow everyone, natives and migrants, to contribute to the formation of communities inspired by the values of respect, mutual knowledge and appreciation, and to democracy, starting from school life, thanks to the creation of multicultural and stratified learning communities.
The objective will be achieved through the design and experimentation of 4 interdisciplinary educational programs, aimed at the reconstruction, recovery and enhancement of the traditional heritage related to the material culture of all students, native and migrant, which make up the multicultural and stratified learning neo-communities; each program will be dedicated to an indicator relating to the Framework of Civilization, according to the historiographical approach of Fernand Braudel: IO1 Food; IO2 Clothing; IO3 Work Items; IO4 Housing and objects of everyday life. Specific objectives of each of the 4 Outputs will be:
– collection, analysis and documentation of the specific indicator within the framework of civilization, to be achieved through the historical-philosophical, linguistic, humanistic and religious curricular disciplines
– reconstruction of the civilization framework thus obtained in relation to the specific indicator, reconstructed on the basis of multi-ethnic indicators relating to the civilization framework, operated within the curriculum of the STEM disciplines, through the use of digital holographic projection technology, with a view to pupil-led project work, aimed at the reproduction, piloted by the students, of the “thick description” of the multicultural neo-community and stratified in which they learn and live.
The methodological approach is Service Learning, which allows to combine the learning of curricular disciplines such as history / philosophy, linguistics on the one hand, and STEM on the other, with the service approach to one’s reference community, of which the students detect needs and together, collaboratively, work to offer a solution to the common problem of the entire social / civil group.
The reconstruction of the 4 indicators of material culture relative to the civilization framework by schools will be methodologically assisted on one side by 4 ethnographic / historical / material civilization museums, while from the technological point of view it will be supported by an expert partner in holographic technologies applied to teaching.
The target groups and related medium-long term impacts will be:
– 320 secondary school students, of whom one-third are migrants or of foreign origin, whose intention is to develop competences of intercultural dialogue and education for active citizenship, in order to combat prejudice and hostility towards “the other”, to fight against social and cultural segregation, promoting values of respect and mutual understanding within multicultural and layered learning communities
– 20 secondary school teachers, both in STEM and humanistic subjects (ARTS), whose aim is to develop new skills in managing groups of multicultural students, with a view to combating discrimination, racism at school, promoting inclusive teaching also to ensure equal opportunities for access to the highest levels of education to all students, native and migrant
– 16 operators of museum and cultural institutions, who will be able to benefit from new skills for the promotion of European cultural heritage, with a view to enhancing the components of the material culture of today’s multicultural and stratified society, and proposing new multimedia and interactive learning paths digital thanks to the use of holographic technology
