DESCRIPTION
This Erasmus+ training course focuses on promoting inclusion, integration, and multiculturality in educational contexts, responding to the increasing cultural, linguistic, and social diversity present in European classrooms. Hosted in Barcelona—a city recognised for its multicultural character and inclusive educational practices—the course offers participants both theoretical foundations and practical strategies for working effectively in diverse learning environments. Participants will explore key concepts such as inclusion, equity, intercultural competence, social integration, and diversity management. The course addresses challenges related to migration, cultural differences, language barriers, special educational needs, and social exclusion. Emphasis is placed on creating inclusive, learner-centred environments that respect diversity and promote equal opportunities for all learners.
