Summary of the project
 

• Insertion of an intercultural dimension in the various syllabi: elaboration of pedagogical material primarily in connection with the teaching of such disciplines as history, geography and literature, constantly maintaining a point of view apt to favour an interdisciplinary character.
• Production of pedagogical material that could also be useful for continuing teachers training as well as for external operators (cultural helpers).
• Development of intercultural educational strategies aimed to exploit the relationships between school, family and environment fostering undertakings involving the local community and favouring direct cooperation among scholastic institutions of various orders, social services, local associations and employers.
• To increase the use of open and long distance teaching; to support exchanges of experiences with other countries, situations, both with European towns where issues concerning migrant people and their sons are particularly relevant and with towns pertaining to a country outside the European Community in order to favour a more direct knowledge of other cultures.
• The three intervention areas share teachers, training and constant updating, through formative routes, realised according to separate intervention facts and integrated with the exchange of experiences among different countries and subjects (school,institutions, associations, families, business world). Further more formative experiences should be supported, in which school operators work together with extrascolastic operators, that play a role of integration and backing to the scholastic activities and to the coordinating with families, especially migrant, and with the social background.
