The EDUCULTURE project has reached its final phase with the development of the English version of the e-learning course on “Managing multicultural classes”, and after carrying out the relevant testing ativities. We are, therefore, very close to making available to all educators/trainers and schools the final product so they can use it online!

Indeed, the 5th transnational meeting organised by our partner UCLL in Hasselt / Belgium, on 03 and 04 June 2018, was the ideal occasion to validate the final structure and discuss the improvements we will bring to the platform that will support the e-learning course, which will be available at www.edu-culture.eu.

On the other hand, all project partners have presented and approved the language versions of the course (Spanish, Italian, Polish, Flemish and Swedish).

Finally, we agreed to start organising the national multiplier events in order to disseminate the final product of EDUCUTURE in each of the participating countries.

EDUCULTURE is a project funded by the European Commission through its educational program ERASMUS + and whose objective is to contribute to the improvement of the management of learning processes developed in multicultural environments. For this purpose, EDUCULTURE develops an e-learning course for trainers and schools, available in several European languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Polish and Dutch.

If you are an educator/trainer or a school and you are interested in accessing this course for free, we invite you to contact us by phone at 91 659 42 15 or by email.

On 21-22 November 2014  the Partners participated in the TUNED UP! kick-off meeting in Vienna. The main objective of the meeting was to define the assumptions of national research with the focus on business needs and expectations on the diversity management topic. Also, we wanted to find the answer for most fundamental questions related to the project’s topic:

How to make diversity more friendly?

How to overcome stereotypes and convince managers to benefit from diverse teams?

It has been decided that on the basis of these assumptions, a desk research will be conducted in each country in order to produce a report  including national conditions of diversity management, which will be then compiled in a comparative report. This task will form the first step in the process of creating the tools planned within the project.

After 3 months of intensive work, the final report on cross cultural analysis has been finalised and published by the project Team. Through this work package, which has been led and coordinated by Hominem, partners have come up with responses to the crucial question of the project: What SMEs need and require in terms of strategic management learning and training?
