This repository contains the open source website that we at Coding Bunker are developing for the non-profit organization Ero Forestiero.
Ero Forestiero is a non-profit association in the city of Vigevano (PV), Italy.
Their main activity is alphabetisation courses for adult immigrants and was created to respond to the educational, relational and support needs of second generation immigrant children.
Their activity is characterised by an educational and non-assistance logic.
Every activity is carried out on the basis of the principle of hospitality and starting from the PERSON, who is never seen as a mere user of a service, but rather as the custodian of a set of values and humanity deserving special attention and adapted almost ad personam.
All services offered by the association are free.
The association organises a training course for volunteers every year before the start of Italian classes, to improve the training offer and to promote group cohesion.
The language courses are divided into three levels, basic, intermediate and advanced, for each of which specific tools and teaching methods are provided.
The training course is a fundamental part of the association's activities because, as well as providing a framework for the teaching method from a didactic point of view, it is also a time for reflection and opening up to the local area thanks to the presence of external speakers to explore cultural, religious, normative and methodological issues.
The course, created for volunteers but open to everyone - members of the association or just curious people - sees its natural continuity throughout the year through round tables and meetings organised by the association and open to everyone.
The goal that we at Coding Bunker have set ourselves is to create a website for the association to help it digitally expand and make itself known in its territory and beyond.
We are building the site as a WordPress theme developed from scratch. Therefore, we develop using:
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
- PHP
- Make sure you have a web server installed on your computer: WAMP, MAMP, LAMP, XAMPP or other...
- Make sure you have a local WordPress installation. If you don't have one, we recommend this guide: https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/
- Clone the code into the folder containing the WordPress themes. Usually the path is C:\xampp\htdocs\project name\wp-content\themes
- Access the local WordPress administration panel (remember to activate your web server first)
- Go to Appearance -> Themes
- Click on the "Activate" button in the box of the installed theme
Thanks to the work in this project, it is possible to first of all learn and practice the languages and technologies mentioned above, and above all to do so on a real and concrete project (and not just a simple "showcase" project).
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn soft skills through team working, feedbacks and time and task management. These are important skills for the workplace, allowing you to differentiate yourself and be perceived as an expert.
Last but not least, the ethical and social side of the project will make you perform a good deed towards a non-profit organisation and therefore to all intents and purposes a volunteer. It is very important not to think only of ourselves, but to strive and commit ourselves also to the good of others and of those who are often not as fortunate as we are. It can only be good for our Heart and our Soul.
The minimum requirement to apply is to know and have a minimum of experience in Front End web development with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, Back End web development with PHP and MySQL and familiarity with the CMS WordPress.
