INTERCOMP - Development of Educators' Intercultural Competencies
The INTERCOMP project has the objective to develop the intercultural competencies of school educators, university educators and in informal education. The aim is to develop a relevant educational course to address the needs of educators interacting with students, who have a refugee background. In the first instance, the focus will be on primary and secondary schools.
As part of the project, 40 educators will be recruited in each of the five partner countries (Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus). Educators with an awareness on intercultural education will also be recruited as advisor for the content and delivery mode of the educational material. A group of refugee students will also be interviewed. Surveys for all groups will be developed by the University of Utrecht.
