Research projects of the last 5 years
Project Erasmus+ Key Action 2 "Tales@Home" www.talesathome.eu (start 1.09.2016 - end 1.08.2018).
TALES@home project aims to support multilingual families, helping them to create a favourable environment for language learning and well-being. This aim will be achieved by developing an innovative tool (app) for parents and their children to be used for language related emotion mapping within the family, helping to empower positive emotions and attitudes on a family level and thereby contributing to the improvement of well-being, social inclusion and language learning of the family members.
Observatory on religious pluralism (start 2015 - today).
Formed in 2015 by GRIS (Group for Research and Information socio-religious), currently active in Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Lombardy, Piedmont and Sicily, is a scientific study of the diverse world of religion in contemporary society. It also highlights and explores the changes in the religious landscape in Italian territory, providing an updated map as the basis for an inter-religious and intercultural dialogue in order to live diversity as a mutual enrichment.
