The main objective of this Pestalozzi training unit is to improve key professional competencies of pedagogical staff in primary/secondary education. The specific objective is to increase awareness, regarding the acceptance of diversity as a positive value, and to understand the main concept of intercultural education in order to provide an inclusive and democratic educational environment for all. The training unit provides space for self-reflection on teaching practices, raising awareness of the need to use practices that provide a supportive learning environment, and learning as much as possible from the experience of self-assessment for everyone’s own professional development.
