The «Cultural Mediators» course offered by the Don Nicola Mazza Foundation of Padua will primarily play a role in relations between Italian institutions and immigrants’ countries of origin.

The course, financed by the European Social Fund and set to begin in October, aims to train professional people to help more-recent immigrants integrate in society.

Organizers of the course also stress its importance for business endeavors, which increasingly employ immigrants.
