Intercultural Education and Adoptive Families. Navigating Between Origins and New Identities Università di Bologna, Italy Criteria and competences important for the intercultural pedagogical-educational perspective are fundamental in the way of conceiving and experiencing both national and international adoption within the family and beyond. Decentralisation, observation, listening, dialogue and gradualness can be applied to the specificities of the adoption experience, calling on affectively and educationally significant adults to welcome the peculiarities of the children. Transitioning from the initial mutual estrangement to relationships characterised by intimacy, familiarity, feelings of mutual belonging, without concealing the origins in different human and cultural contexts. This contribution focuses on aspects of this important field by means of a theoretical reflection that has been developed thanks to a prolonged research experience that made it possible to collect through semi-structured and in-depth interviews testimonies of parents and especially of young people of different origins adopted in Italy. | |
