An approach to inter-cultural education that works: the example of Théodore Monod vocational school

The Théodore Monod vocational school of Noisy-le-Sec, located in the northeastern district of Paris (Seine Saint-Denis), is taking a different approach to addressing the interculturalism amongst its 850 pupils. While teaching the basic principles of secularism, harmonious co-existence and integration – characteristics of the French model – it also ensures that its pupils, of some 45 different nationalities, do not lose sight of their own cultural backgrounds.
