Families and schools can find their meeting point in education and education may be the ground for family-schoolrelationship design and organization, using the logic of cooperation and joint responsibility. The presence of parents within the school has, as a matter of fact, positive implications in terms of learning, personal growth and social development of children; furthermore, it represents a valuable opportunity both for the families and for the schools. For these reasons, the participation of foreign parents should as well be encouraged and supported, as a new educational challenge. The school may, in fact, become a place of meeting and lively exchange between the families, an active laboratory of shared values, able to break down the barrier of cultural bias, thus encouraging social integration.

Abstract
Families and schools can find their meeting point in education and education may be the ground for family-schoolrelationship design and organization, using the logic of cooperation and joint responsibility. The presence of parents within the school has, as a matter of fact, positive implications in terms of learning, personal growth and social development of children; furthermore, it represents a valuable opportunity both for the families and for the schools. For these reasons, the participation of foreign parents should as well be encouraged and supported, as a new educational challenge. The school may, in fact, become a place of meeting and lively exchange between the families, an active laboratory of shared values, able to break down the barrier of cultural bias, thus encouraging social integration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
