Without Borders: Intercultural Education through Innovative tools and ICT

Migration is a multidimensional and multilevel phenomenon. Its complexity is due to the fact that it is
associated with human evolution and it concerns many areas, such as economic policy and culture, but also
psychology and sociology. The intercultural approach to a group of learners is expressed through a process
where the emphasis is on getting to know and interact with the different cultures that make up a society.
Cultural diversity is undoubtedly reflected in the public school. The classroom environment itself, when
judged to be ‘intercultural’, aims to create a climate of cooperation and communication, acceptance and
respect for the particularity of the ‘other’ and to provide equal access to every area of life.
The aim of the course is to empower educators to develop intercultural approach and creative utilization of innovative  educational materials
in the field of intercultural education and training with original activities.
By the end of the course trainees will have develop a set of social and communicational skills that allow individuals to recognize
and accept diversity and to creatively exploit the various elements associated with it, to be able to function
in contexts where different cultures intersect codes, to have the ability to review and adjust previous views and attitudes.
At the practical level,that is, at the classroom level, the intercultural
approach through interpretive techniques in this particular seminar will serve as a guide to enable the
teacher to successfully manage different types of situations resulting from diversity.
