Education project for intercultural coexistence/integration in secondary schools

Best practice Educating young people

This project is run by the International Cooperation and Intercultural Department and is implemented in 10 Secondary Schools (8 public and 2 private) and was initiated in the 2012-2013 school year.

There are 3 sessions with each school group using participatory methodology. Objectives:

  • Promotion of intercultural relations in the educational space
  • Education in attitudes and values of equality, solidarity and inclusion
  • Prevention attitudes of discrimination, racism and xenophobia

A team of 4 interdisciplinary monitors (students from different faculties) work in each school that implements and evaluates the project. Upon completion of the educational sessions, volunteers are asked to join a Network of Volunteers for Intercultural coexistence.
