Foreign education and civilization history of migrations: a transformation through times

Italy is strongly connected to the Western culture, to Europe’s history and to Mediterranean civilizations as well; due to its international vocation, Italy is robustly open to multi-cultural dialogue. At present, there is a wealth of studies on the vigorous bonds between education and foreign civilizations. Evidence of the above is supported by current international humanitarian agreements, and inter-school cooperation initiatives, where innovative laboratory classes yield stronger integrations. In the world of academia, an increasing number of foreign students take diverse majors on these subjects, and literature encounters the movie industry to place higher stakes on the educational role of “frontier cinema”. Essentially, we are witnessing the creation of an authentic cultural track, where sound relationships play a key role in boosting cooperation. This work aims at researching the profound historical layers entwining educational progress with migrations across Southern Italy – the Mezzogiorno – over the course of the 20th century.
