AdoptCLOUD

What is diversity? What is inclusion? Should not be pluralism the next step...? When one cannot team up at least should cooperate! Instead of been let opinions separate us, let's try to 'win' by building a collective good - Let's help ourselves and others to create new contents, meanings and collaboration! Try to think about Adoption from the game point of view, the theory - as in and picture - says we have pawns and multiple colours... we are players, active and in control; we can group and divide - but can anybody say there no space for anyone?   Game is about fun cooperation and pluralism ( https://bit.ly/2TGWr4t ) Arp / Speaks AtCLoud  -  Alessia Petrolito  / More on  ResearchGate  

The Adoption Cloud   You may have heard me talking about the Adoption Cloud ... It is a visionary project let me tell you more about it. Project Objective: The Adoption Cloud - Project  is a portion of this blog,  AdoptCloud , where I am going to feature Italian social personalities; adoptees who are working - disseminating communicating - on adoption throughout social media. This project also features well-known Adoptees' International Networks, intending to encourage, and possibly foster interactions with/within the various Italian adoptees' communities and personalities.  Project Goals: 1) To look at adoption on social media and virtual communities formation in Italy.  2) To overcome the language barrier . 3) To form and display a  comprehensive  Italian main-stream  featuring all the active networks and personalities  - cultural disseminators, activists, and service providers . 4) To connect  and foster collaborations wi th other...

Italians speak Italian , average doesn't speak English or speak other languages, but Italians professionals and culture are appreciated and searched for in each field. Do we Italian adoptees get to be invited all over the world to present our work and research? No. Do you want to know why? I don't think it's just because of language! I believe it about presence & awareness ... We are missing a net! Other communities don't know what we are doing; we need to be out there - TO SHOW WHAT WE ARE DOING!!!!... We should ALL present our work and speak out there!  We can do more than interview we can be interviewed; worldwide, people are curious about Italy and want to know about Italian adoptees.  Let's spread our work&word worldwide!

Being an Italian adoptee, I realised our community is fragmented and isolated. Small groups of Italian adoptees are connected online and forming virtual communities. Italian reports estimated that over 69.000 children adoptees entered Italy to be  between 1993 and 2019. T he number of adoptions that occurred before 1993 is uncertain  ( I was born and adopted  in 1990);  there several adult adoptees adopted prior 1989 , so it is possible that estimate adoptee population in Italy is even large. Can you imagine how many of us are out there?   Wouldn't be amazing to be all linked   transnationally  and to breach the language barrier by connecting -  united as a country -  with other networks led by adoptees?! Adoptees in Italy aren't connected to fellow adoptees worldwide* - I want to make that happen! This is the  AdoptCloud 's blog mission, to  bridge and connect  Italian adoptees within the country ...
