Courses

There are a variety of online courses available for teachers who are keen to learn more about successful international partnerships.

Intercultural Training Course for International Co-ordinators

Teachers and teacher trainers have the opportunity to apply for a Comenius In-service Training Grant to attend an Intercultural Training course.

The main objectives of this new training course are to:

• enable school international co-ordinators to gain intercultural competences
• demonstrate how intercultural issues can jeopardise school partnerships and to offer practical solutions and ideas during the course
• develop some of the skills of the project manager but in an intercultural context
• encourage participants to develop their leadership role in school and to become active disseminators for intercultural education for other staff and students.

The course is the result of the International Co-ordinator Training for Intercultural Education and Diversity Project (ICTPIED) which involved partners from the UK, Austria, Germany and Romania in constructing and testing all of the activities. This process was supported by over 300 teachers in focus groups.

The collaborative forum created for each course will allow participants to keep in touch after the course is over. Course participants will be encouraged to undertake an intercultural task in their own school (modelled on one of the course activities), record their impressions of how this went and share this work with the others.

The deadline to apply is 1 September 2012.
