Abstract

In order to offer an adequate educational program to foreign children, it is necessary to understand the world which they and their families come from, and to create a dialogue with the latter, the responsibility for which lies with the school. It was with this perspective that a exploratory survey with selected immigrant families in Italy (6) and Spain (6) was carried out, in order to gather descriptions concerning expectations, lived experiences and representations regarding the world of school. Analysis highlighted recurring and trasversl elements within the statements of the 12 families interviewed, and offered ideas for further research aimed at rethinking teachers' and institutions' ways of acting.
