Intercultural Education

In order to address the problems encountered in recent decades after the influx of immigrants in educational contexts in Europe and the US, experimental education models were elaborated and applied in order to smooth integration, psychological-social adjustment, and learning of students of various national and cultural groups in the education systems of countries hosting migrants. The various forms of educational approaches are known with different definitions, such as multicultural, intercultural, or antiracist education, education for diversity and citizenship, critical intercultural approach, education for equality and peace, global education, etc.
The seminar focuses on teachers of every level and all those who work with young people and wish to learn about the educational practices and school programs for students of different national/cultural groups. It is designed to be a basic introduction, with children’s activities that are defined by age. There will be advice on the methodology and supporting guidance for those who wish to delve deeper into this topic. The educational approach of the course emphasizes the practical rather than the theoretical level so that all the benefits of the seminar can be applied in the classroom.
