Feeling Italian: Citizens in a Multicultural Society tells the stories and experiences of four people with a migratory background who live in Italy. It is composed of six modules and can be viewed in full or in modules, in order to stimulate a discussion on the following topics: stereotypes and discrimination, multicultural identity, dreams and aspirations, difficulties or challenges to the professional and social inclusion of people with migration, intercultural skills to be developed, diversity and inclusion management skills.

The didactic video is accompanied by training course materials and is part of a “train the trainers” course.

If you have an exercise you’ve used that works, and you would like to share it, please submit it. All authors will be asked to answer the same set of questions, and to make the exercises available for others to use, thus these are being published with a Creative Commons license (as is the case for all CID publications). If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.
