L'orientamento dei figli di migranti nelle scuole medie superiori. Appunti su una ricerca in corso a Verona

Students with migrant parents in the Verona schools: preliminary results on their experience and perceptions - The article presents an on-going research on the experience and perceptions of a sample of young students with foreign origins, who attend secondary and high schools in Verona, insofar as these perceptions can affect their educational and employment perspectives. The main aim of this qualitative research is to analyse the theme of second generation by giving voice to various relevant actors, including not only immigrant students but also their parents and teachers. Through a comparison of their perspectives and remarks, the preliminary observations presented here suggest the complexity and the different level of socialization between young students of immigrant origins and their Italian schoolmates, as well as immigrant families and teachers. The article proposes several possible approaches to understand the way in which the wider social and political environment influences the outcomes and decisions of the immigrant students. Keywords: Second Generation, Migrants Families, Intercultural Education, Immigration in Italy.;
