SOCRATES
Welcome on www.interculturaleducation.org !
This site offers:
 
information about what is intercultural education
a methodological approach for implementing intercultural education in schools
web-based tools for using ICT to develop and implement intercultural education activities in schools
training opportunities for teachers that want to use our methodology and the tools
The site has been created within the “NEWTECH-The new information and communication technologies as a tool for intercultural communication in Europe” project, developed with the support of the Socrates-Comenius Programme of the European Commission.
The NEWTECH tool is enabling teachers to organise joint intercultural educational activities based on the study of a common topic, following a sequence of synchronised steps and using experiential and cooperative methodology. Pupils will gather information from different sources, will confront their views, and will elaborate an electronic product that they will share with their colleagues in the partner classes.

By using both these tools the teacher activates an interactive and restricted website that allows pupils to communicate and organise the information.
This website is based on the metaphor of a local community

MY TOWN is a version of this tool focused on the study from an intercultural perspective of various aspects of the towns where the partner classes are located.
