Italian term or phrase: mediatore culturale
mediatore or mediatrice culturale

Usually an immigrant herself, with a good knowledge of the country's language, culture, social questions, she helps new immigrants with problems of all kinds, especially in schools, helping immigrant children to settle in their new surroundings.
(I use the female form because, at least here in Italy, they are usually foreigners who have married Italians.)
