Apprendere e disapprendere nei contesti di vita quotidiana : il caso di un quartiere multietnico

The article presents a qualitative research aims to understand how learning processes could be supported to develop more inclusive personal perspectives and social practices in order to manage the emerging multiethnic society. The study has been conducted in 2020 in a district of an Italian medium city that has changed deeply the demographical structure. Three spaces have been studied: a park, the local merchants and a secondary school. The framework used is linked to Transformative Learning Theory. The research describes how multiethnicity could be positioned in the large debate on diversity. It is a disoriented dilemma that usually is approached with dichotomic approaches and instrumental oriented politics. It is rarely understood as a questionable issue and rarely investigated as a learning process that needs to be supported and validated. [Publisher's text].
