Abstract:
Over the past two years, I have been engaged in a professional community development process, which involved about sixty professionals in the sector in the Metropolitan City of Bologna. The focus of the process has been the educational skills in migrant reception contexts. In the path has been used research tools such as focus groups, unstructured interviews, case analyses, and participant observation to analyse ongoing changes and emerging needs in the professional context. In this paper, the focus will be puts on the most frequent and newly emerging cases that require pedagogically grounded skills. The growing awareness of the importance of the educational dimension in this context contrasts with the tightening of rejection policies that make the already complex work of reception even more difficult. Facing this cultural hegemony also means promoting the professional empowerment of those involved in the field.
