Dall’orientamento transitorio all’orientamento generativo: una sfida educativa interculturale
2022
Il contributo offre una riflessione pedagogica, a partire dalla letteratura di riferimento, sulle forme di orientamento formativo, educativo e professionale per gli adolescenti migranti inseriti nel sistema scolastico italiano. Nella nostra società attuale, in cui i contesti educativi e scolastici sono sempre più multiculturali, la capacità di sapersi orientare implica nello studente, così come nell’insegnante, la predisposizione a sviluppare competenze cognitive, emotive e relazionali, atte a sapersi relazionare con i contesti comunitari e di vita la cui trasformazione dipende non soltanto dal processo orientativo ma anche da fattori socioculturali afferenti a valori, tradizioni e culture,…
Maldivian Tourist Resorts and their Environmental Impact
1993
In the past two decades, the Maldivians have built up a flourishing tourist industry. Tourist resorts have been established on hitherto uninhabited small islands and by 1990 the number of tourists has increased to nearly 200 000. The Maldivian tourist resorts represent a special type of tropical beach resorts catering only to the tourists’ needs for accommodation, board, leisure and recreation. They are distinctly separate from the islands inhabited by the Maldivians and intercultural communication does not take place. These resorts are in effect ‘tourist enclaves’. Holiday facilities in the resorts are clearly geared to the coastal environment - the beach, lagoon and reef. The impact of to…
Global connectedness in higher education : student voices on the value of cross-cultural learning dialogue
2015
The study explores how sense of global connectedness can be enhanced by creating opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue in higher education. Thematic analysis of randomly selected 15 learning journals, students’ reflections on their learning during an international seminar was used to identify students’ significant learning experiences. The results emphasise the added value of diversity (geographical, disciplinary, cultural and social) among students, faculty and invited presenters for creating meaningful learning. Furthermore, they suggest that designing an integrated approach of contents, contexts and activities for critical engagement in global dialogue and knowledge generation in hig…
Nuovi modelli formativi per gli insegnanti in un’ottica di green economy: una riflessione sulla scuola multiculturale
2022
Il contributo propone un’ipotesi di ricerca pedagogica, con elementi teorici e metodologici, per le scuole multiculturali al fine di dar vita ad attività educative, formative e di orientamento per giovani migranti, mirate alla transizione ecologica. Il tutto dovrà realizzarsi in un’ottica di alleanza educativa con le famiglie di origine, ove presenti sul territorio ospitante, e le comunità di accoglienza. L’Agenda 2030, adottata dalla comunità internazionale nel 2015 per lo sviluppo sostenibile, pone le odierne migrazioni come “elemento fondamentale dello sviluppo sostenibile”. In tal senso, il PNR - Programma Nazionale per la Ricerca 2021-2027, nell’articolazione 8 dell'ambito di ricerca e…
Spirituality and Sustainability of Interreligious/Interdenominational Dialogue in Theological Study Programs
2019
Abstract This article is part of broader research on “The Interrelationship of Theology and Praxis in the Context of Sustainable Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue”1 in which we explore two essential concepts: sustainability and interreligious dialogue. We have narrowed this broader topic to study how facilitation of students’ spirituality in theology study programmes develops an environment for sustainability of interdenominational/interreligious dialogue. We provide a theoretical glimpse into research from theology, pedagogy, and spirituality. Our future research process will be based on our findings. One of the current challenges is globalization, which coincides with diversificat…
Performing Identities and Constructing Meaning in Interpersonal Encounters
2011
This paper presents a communicational semiopragmatics approach to the question of identity in interpersonal and intercultural communication. The model which we have developed (Boutaud, 2005, Frame, 2008) seeks to relate macro-level and micro-level approaches to communication (both in terms of culture and of identity), in order to take into account both the prefigured and the emergent aspects of meaning construction in an interpersonal encounter. The concept of identity is treated from a symbolic interactionist point of view, and more precisely within the theoretical framework of identity theory (Stryker, 1980, Stryker & Burke, 2000, Burke et al., 2003, Burke, 2004), applied to multiple iden…

Virtual Medical Communication in English. A Corpus-based Analysis of Inclusive we, us and our in the Intercultural Clinical Blog
2013
Blogs play a very important role in web-based communication as they represent ever-increasing worldwide tools in both everyday and professional interaction (Crystal 2007; Herring 1996, 2007). Similarly to all writers in general, bloggers use persuasive techniques to attract readers’ attention and make them share their points of views and opinions. The use of inclusive pronouns and possessives fulfils pragmatic persuasive functions. The aim of this work was to investigate how the first-person plural personal pronouns we and us and the first-person plural possessive adjective our were used in an intercultural blog in the medical field, namely Clinical blog, of the British Medical Journal (BMJ…
Towards cross-cultural social work: a teaching approach for development of intercultural competences / Hacía un trabajo social intercultural: un mode…
2017
The professional skills demanded of social workers by contemporary society must unavoidably include the capacity to apply knowledge, to know how to act and acquire the appropriate new competences for listening and taking care of people coming from different cultures. With regard to the training of future generations of social workers it must be remembered that they will have to deal with an increasingly globalized society and face the new demands placed upon the profession by the presence of a greater number of people migrating to Italy in increasingly greater numbers. Teaching experimentation carried out as part of the degree course in Social Work at the University of Palermo over the last…
