Grant for the project “Talk to the City” that will tell an immigration story in a way we haven’t seen yet, by looking at how language learning can impact women’s assimilation into the culture. At this time, there are over 200,000 foreigners in Rome from 181 countries; a high percentage of them are women. The project “Talk to the City” aims to tell the story of some of these women, who participate in language classes run by various Roman social communities, and held in places such as parishes, schools or voluntary associations, using Rome’s neighborhoods as a backdrop.
