Webinar ” made in France et ailleurs”

The seminar will offer stimuli for reflection about our role as interculturalists both in the physical and in the virtual world.

What can one do as an individual in a multicultural school as a teacher, an administrator, or a parent? What could one offer in the working place to facilitate actual valuing of diversity? What can be done in everyday interactions locally, internationally, and virtually to exercise intercultural citizenship?

Facilitating inclusion in multicultural contexts is a task and a role for active citizens, beyond institutionally planned projects. By realizing this we are exercising our responsibility as intercultural citizens.
