"The main objective is the development of the educators’ skills, as they are not always able to relate properly to situations that require an intercultural approach and a focus on the enhancement of differences of each student. The geographical context of the project is related to the whole city of Palermo and some municipalities of the district, those in which are located the offices of the CPIA PA1 outside the urban area: a school that welcomes students from different geographical areas, mostly from Asia and from Africa. The Italians who attend the school are very few. The project is based on the educational implications and cultural challenges involved in this school population. The project's prior objective is to provide educators with useful elements for the acquisition and enhancement of intercultural competences, in particular the soft skills that are related to the skills of relationship, the reception of the other and to relate to others, the ability to work as a team, the need of translating different ""cultural codes"" and to work to overcome prejudices and stereotypes, starting from an everyday evaluation of the multiculturalism that enriches the CPIA PA1. The needs are essentially formative and related to the idea that not all educators are ready to cope with the challenge the intercultural experience that they live every day. Despite the cultural diversity that distinguishes our school every day, teachers are not always able to be welcoming and inclusive at the same time. The target group to which we address to are teachers of Italian and mathematics, who are those who spend more hours in the classroom, even if the project is open to anyone interested in sharing a training course on these issues. The project must be carried out at transnational level in order to be able to compare and exchange methods of intervention, to share training courses and to experience cooperation between educational institutions and NGOs operating in the same field. We trust in the project because it would be one of the first courses of overall involvement of teachers’ training on the issues of intercultural learning. Our school had past experiences in the field of training: courses focused on new technologies or on teaching Italian as L2. The following activities are planned to be carried out during the 24 months of the project:-Promotion of the project activities, September-November 2018. -Opening conference, Sicily, December 2018: The conference will last two days and will involve the European partners. The conference will introduce the training activities that will be carried out and a first session of workshop will be held. -Training for Educators, Sicily, February 2019: The training will be addressed to the staff of the school and will last 3 days. The first training course will focus on the issues of group dynamics and overcoming stereotypes and prejudices. -The transnational seminar, Portugal, April 2019 (in which the 2nd training for Educators will be held): The transnational meeting/seminar will focus on the figure of the intercultural educator and last 4 days. -Training for Educators, Sicily, November 2019.
