In the context of global migration patterns, the issue of Adult Continuing Education for migrants and refugees has gained prominence as a critical avenue for empowerment and integration. The collaborative efforts of stakeholders serve to bridge gaps in access to education, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by adult migrants. Through needs assessments, co-design, and the provision of language and vocational training, partnerships cultivate responsive educational pathways that align with refugees’ aspirations for self-sufficiency and socio-economic integration. This paper explores the significance of stakeholder partnerships analyzing the EU funded project INTEgreat. Costruire ponti: il ruolo delle stakeholder partnership nell’educazione continua degli adulti migranti e rifugiati. Nel contesto dei modelli migratori globali, il tema dell’Educazione Continua degli Adulti per migranti e rifugiati ha acquisito importanza come via critica per l’emancipazione e l’integrazione. Gli sforzi collaborativi degli stakeholder servono a colmare le lacune nell’accesso all’istruzione, riconoscendo le sfide uniche affrontate dai migranti. Attraverso la valutazione dei bisogni, la co-progettazione e l’offerta di formazione linguistica e professionale, le partnership coltivano percorsi educativi rispondenti alle aspirazioni dei rifugiati all’autosufficienza e all’integrazione socioeconomica. Questo contributo esplora l’importanza delle partnership tra stakeholder analizzando il progetto INTEgreat, finanziato dall’UE.

Aquivion® E87-12S Perfluorosulfonated acid ionomer material (PFSA) has been studied as a membrane technology for natural gas sweetening from CO2, H2S due to its interesting chemical and mechanical stability and good separation performance for polar compounds in humid environments. In the present work, permeation of the H2S/CO2/CH4 ternary mixture in this short-side PFSA chain was investigated at pressures up to 10 bar, temperatures up to 50 °C, and in a range of relative humidity (RH) from 20% to 90%. The results obtained confirm the strong dependence of Aquivion® on water activity and temperature, and its ability to separate gases based on their water solubility without substantial differences between pure and mixed gas experiments. Indeed, even when tested in ternary mixture, the permeation behavior remains similar to that observed for pure components and binary mixtures. In particular, the permeability of H2S is higher than that of CO2 and methane CH4, reaching values of 500 Barrer at 50 °C and 80% RH, against 450 and 23 Barrer for the other two gases respectively. Additionally, when tested at higher pressures of up to 10 bar under humid conditions, the membrane properties remained largely unchanged, thus confirming the overall stability and durability of Aquivion® E87-12S in acid environments.

In the following pages we propose a patchwork of our memories related to the life of Mamadou, a young refugee who lived and died in Italy. The paper is focusing on the definition of disillusion towards the Italian reception system that not only has been unable to take in charge Mamadou, but became a producer of labels and fragmentation.

The first phone call came at 04.30 in the morning one day in 2006. They were in trouble out at sea in the Mediterranean and were calling for help…
