The main objective of our partnership is to identify, share and further develop practices that promote intercultural dialogue through adult education. In particular, we are aiming at practices that do not exclusively apply to ethnic minorities; foreigners or the “culturally different” but rather create intercultural links between individuals and groups, introduce awareness of cultural diversity to a wide range of areas and fields of activity and further the dialogue within these fields. In this sense our project is an effort to contribute to the mainstreaming of intercultural dialogue, reflecting our recognition that cultural diversity and interculturality is not only relevant to specific groups, but concerns society as a whole.
TIMING would like to be original in its methodology and promote cultural awareness as well as an effective intercultural dialogue by using a positive approach. The partner institutions would like to make this an experience in which learners, as well as the teachers, learn from each other in an inclusive atmosphere. The way we will achieve our goal is by organising events in which cultural diversity is highlighted. Workshops, concerts and conferences are some of the cultural immersion experiences that wil take place during the partnership. Partners will also exchange national studies on the field of intercultural dialogue which will allow us us, together with our internal questionnaire, to assess the needs among learners for intercultural training thus leading to the development of tools and their implementation in the various activities within the project.
Our TOOLKIT will contain a record of the experiences lived as well as the results that are obtained as well as the teaching material.
