What is the training about?
The diversity of the world is represented within our classrooms, and in society at large. It is not sufficient anymore to casually mention interculturality during classes, but to practically act upon it via different activities both inside and outside the classroom. Whether alone or with help of relevant non-profit organisations, there is a wealth of activities that can be targeted at both educational staff and pupils to broaden their horizons, through experiential learning. There are so many opportunities to foster school internationalisation : sending pupils and teachers abroad, but also valuing the diversity present in the school, organising specific activities, and hosting exchange pupils in the school to provide international exposure to the whole school population.
The aim of this training is to help teachers and educational staff in their global journey of school internationalisation. First through intercultural learning at school and thanks to the complementary ICL @ School toolbox, they will be able to facilitate diverse activities which support the development of intercultural competence. Then, participants will discover the mobility opportunities offered by Erasmus +, for pupils and teachers, and more specifically how Individual Pupil Mobility can foster internationalisation of the whole school. More specifically, participants will look at how to organise quality Individual Pupil Mobility in cooperation with pupil exchange organisations, and recognising the outcomes of the learning period abroad.
