InfoMigrants reports that the Italian government has approved 647,000 euros for a language program for migrants in Sardinia. Those funds have been allocated for the FAMI (Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund) initiative, with the aim to improve Sardinia`s migrant integration governance system and to enhance the integration of migrants into Sardinian society.
The regional councillor Filippo Spanu said: "Improving language abilities is essential to migrants’ developing a proper relationship with the various services in the area. Knowing Italian also contributes to strengthening relations with the communities in which the migrants live. There is no true inclusion without a full mastery of Italian, which favors dialogue and interaction and facilitates integration”. He also added: “We are undertaking this project alongside the Provincial Center for Adult Instruction of the province of Cagliari and the regional educational office, which are both working in education for asylum seekers — many of whom are finding opportunities for human and cultural growth in their studies, as well as new opportunities to become part of the social fabric of their communities".
