Gate-away.com supports a Corporate Social Responsibility program, helping children learn a second language. We endorse the program, put forward by parents of the Infants section at the Montessori address, enabling children to learn English naturally with a native speaking teacher during school hours.

The program, patronised by the Northern Comprehensive School Institute and the Montessori Onlus Association, is a pilot scheme in Italy: it is class of young children at a state institution which adopts the Montessori method and adds an experimental bilingual program into the curriculum.

There are four themes which bring the project to life.

Integration and uniqueness – the English language is learnt from a young age, allowing the natural creation of relationships in a multicultural society, easing cultural exchanges and working relationships. At the same time it helps with the realisation of the individuality, the peculiarities and the excellent qualities that make Italy one of the most loved countries in the world;

Reception – for Italy, tourism is the basis of the economy. Being welcoming also means knowing how to communicate efficiently in a way that understands the needs of a visitor. Having familiarity and self-confidence in speaking another language becomes an advantage.

Internationalisation – for business and work exchanges it is necessary to have an open outlook on the world. The English language is a driving force which puts workers from different countries in touch with each other. Having a second language should become compulsory in our country.

Value of education – learning languages naturally, from a young age makes it easier and helps the language stick with you over the years. In the long term, this leads to a richer social environment, oriented towards cultural exchanges and the demands of the labour market.

To allow the program to continue throughout the three years of schooling, Gate-away.com has decided to help the parents, who are promoting this scheme, with a contribution.
We hope that lots of people will join us and donate generously to the cause: our ambitious goal is to raise the necessary budget of 15,000 euros and to allocate a portion of the donations to new English language projects at the school.
Help us reach our goal!
