Efficacy of the Identity Project intervention in Italian multiethnic classrooms

This final dissertation aims to lay out the results of one of the implementations of the Identity Project in its Italian adaptation. It seeks to analyse the general efficacy of the project as carried out in some multicultural high school classes in the area of Padova, by looking into the variables of cultural identity exploration and resolution. A brief understanding of the theoretical background for the project will be provided, with reference to the concept of cultural identity and the theory by Erikson. The reasons for implementation will be made clear through an overview of the current situation of culturally diverse school classes in Italy, and the related governmental policies. Finally, the beneficial effects of the Identity Project will be presented, confirming the enhancement of identity exploration processes in the adolescents participating in the project.
