Globalization characterizes the century in which we live and in the light of its worldwide spread it affects a multiplicity of disciplines. As a result of this, within the qualitative research in family pedagogy, parents of foreign origin have been involved, from whose life stories it is interesting to discern the importance of recognizing themselves, though citizens of the world, as bearers of a unique history. A personal experience, narrated and shared, that is characterized by relationships, thoughts that have formed the subject and that in the present, in the host country, "challenges" him to a daily learning that however cannot be exhausted in self-reflection. Therefore, it is fundamental for them to be able to interface with other subjects, who in turn are asked to welcome. An attitude that requires being fearless, because a sense of security or fear towards others is an expression of the trust that a community has in itself. If one believes in one's ability to integrate other individuals within oneself, one has an attitude of openness towards the foreigner, one is not afraid of his culture. This propensity requires these parents to adopt a logic of globalization, with rights and duties, which is precisely challenging since the planetary dimension of citizenship is not on the way, however, without a commitment to thought, decision making and education. Sustainable ecologies have to do with relationships, culture, ethnicity and education. It is therefore important that within local realities spaces of encounter between parents are fostered - so that the thoughts of the individual are shared - in the awareness that human sustainability itself often has to do with creating sufficient hope in individuals and communities, building meaningful dialogue and an experience of communion, through the differences that must be valued. In these contexts, the subject as such lives a continuous educational and formative experience, which leads him/her towards the personal research, which is also social, of the knowledge of the self and of others. This experience is possible thanks to the capacity of reciprocal socialization on the part of parents of foreign origin, of sincere dialogue, of confrontation with the other - in this case with native parents - in the diversity and richness of which each one is the bearer.
