After School together

The project aims to create an extracurricular space to support study aimed at all students who have difficulties with the Italian language, mainly because they are the children of immigrants whose mother tongue is different from that of the host context.

The idea stems from the observation of the difficulty encountered by children and adolescents, especially foreigners or children of immigrants, to integrate effectively into society and in perspective, in the world of university and work. Indirect beneficiaries of the after-school service will also be the parents of the pupils, because they will see their load of support to be provided to their children lightened and will be able to enjoy a free service, but also the classmates of foreign pupils, who will see a progressive equalization of the general level: the tangible progress achieved during the Afterschool project would in fact lead to a general improvement in the academic performance of foreign students and therefore to a homogenization of the level of each class involved. The Tahomà Association provides both the place where the after-school program is set up, i.e. two classrooms at its offices, and the human resources as volunteers and operators in possession of the appropriate training in order to achieve the best outcome of the project. The project will take place over three years and Tahomà is currently carrying out the first phase in which a first class of Afterschool students from different countries has already been trained.

The lessons, held by the staff of the association, take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 4.15 pm to 6.15 pm.
