Intervention sociale, politique d’intégration des étrangers et territoire
Abstract
Among the numerous fields of the social intervention, this paper focus on the measures facilitating the integration of the foreigner minors. The intercultural education is the favourite approach as it represents the natural “landing” of a multi-ethnic society aiming to set off the cultural differences on the base of a symbiotic and empathic exchange. What is, in particular, the effectiveness of the intervention measures centred on the linguistic factor? We intend to answer this question analysing the typology of the courses, the instruments, the financial and human resources employed in a context of recent installation of immigrants (and their descendants): Apulia Region in Southern Italy.
