Background and Context:Our Institute, which includes three realities very different from each other (a Human Studies High school, a Technical-trade institute and a Vocational School for social services) faces from many years problems concerning the hospitality and the integration of foreign students in pre-adolescent and adolescent age, even during the school year.
Most of foreign students attend the Vocational Institute. Studies’ findings show that the percentage of foreign student varies between 12 and 14% compared between the three institutions.

Factual Description:The project was developed during the school year 2013-2014 and involved a fourth-year class of the ITE composed of 20 students, of which 3 foreigners and History and Law teachers.
The objectives of the project were:
A thorough study of the asylum right, its history, the norms that rule it in Italy, in Europe and in the world. Spread in the territory the welcoming culture in favour of who doesn’t have the same rights as ours. The knowledge, through the “story”, the migrant families’ stories forced to find shelter somewhere else due to social-political situations or violence in their native Countries.
The interest rose after the meeting with the refugees’ family.
No particular difficulties during the classes have been detected.

Assessment and lesson learnt:The case study was overall involving for the majority of the students and effective under the point of knowledge acquisition on the debated issue and citizenship and inclusiveness education competences.
Families participation was not so significant, cause of a missing restitution of the project to them, while the participation to some days in the Italian Parliament was very rewarding for the students thanks to the work done.
The project could be replicable in the following years, both for the adopted strategies during the development and for the proposed contents, which for their transversal competences and varieties offer numerous debate and research opportunities.
