Italian Migrant Histories Resource Kit

The ‘Vite Italiane’ project collected many hundreds of oral histories of Italian migrants in Western Australia. 

The Italian Migrant Histories Resource Kit was developed to encourage teachers and students to explore some of these migrant stories, and provide practical assistance on how to collect oral histories of migration. 

The kit can be used as a teaching resource, particularly for teachers of Italian or Society and the Environment. The intended audience is Years 11-12, although teachers may adapt the material for use by younger learners. 

The kit is divided into three sections:

-          Section 1:  Overview of the ‘Vite Italiane’ project and Italian migration to Western Australia 

-          Section 2: Migrant Stories 

-          Section 3: Additional Material
