IMMIGRATION: ARABIC, CULTURE COURSES FOR ITALIAN POLICE
(ANSAmed) - POTENZA, SEPTEMBER 26 - To teach the bases of the
Middle Eastern culture and the basic elements of the Arabic
language in order to allow police to positively interact with
immigrants in the various situations they face in their daily
activities: this is the objective of the "Arabic Language and
Culture" education course designed for police in the framework
of the National Security Operative Programme for Development of
the Mediterranean, announced today in Potenza.
The course - ten classes, each six hours in length - will be
attended by 20 people (from the police, financial guard and
carabinieri at service in Basilicata), led by an associate
professor in Arabic, who will explain them the basic aspects of
the culture and social life in the Middle East, from religion to
history, to which elements of the Arabic language will be added.
The participants have been provided with didactic materials and
instruments to continue, from their homes, on-line classes in
order to study in details the basic grammar and linguistic
elements. The course, organised by Italian Ministry of Interior,
was launched, apart from Potenza, in eight other Italian cities:
Catania, Bari, Reggio Calabria, Naples, Palermo, Caserta,
Cagliari and Sassari. (ANSAmed).
