A concrete answer in order not to stop education and instruction. Since the beginning of the pandemic Covid-19, Mission Bambini implemented emergency measures towards children and communities within their national networks
Looking at the school and with the start of the year 2020/2021, pre-adolescents and adolescents are mainly the ones who, having lived in total lockdown in spring 2020, still are at risk of being left behind with the school path; this was carried out in fits and starts or it started very late with live attendance, especially in high schools. Mission Bambini focused on the theme of LEAD (distance educational links) with the goal of providing specific competences to the social operators who work within the services 0-6.
After the worste lockdown period we integrated the support offered by our digital platform with educational activities in person, laying the foundations for "hybrid" interventions in which digital education supplement (and does not temporarily replace) the activities of classical pedagogy.
During the third phase of emergency we continued with digitalization process of digital pedagogy by expanding the sections and multimedia contents of our platform "bambinipatapum", pursuing the goal of creating an early childhood platform at national level.
We have donated devices for distance learning and guaranteed the continuity of educational relationships with families who face social and economic disadvantages. This intervention continues today, since, even during this school year, lower secondary school students or pupils in temporary quarantine classes have had to face more or less long periods of distance learning activities. Thanks to the equipment provided (see the detailed table below) we were able to make entire classes work at the same time, without leaving anyone behind, bridging as much as possible the technological gap that could have turned into an educational and above all social gap. The risk was to lose many future citizens and see the number of marginalized increase.
