The INTER Network aims to improve quality of education and contribute to innovation inschools by assisting them in the adoption / implementation of an intercultural approach,fostering the reflection on cultural diversity and providing a scenario in which tocooperate, exchange and elaborate practical tools for initial and in-service teachertraining. Teachers can make a difference in schools by transforming their own practicesand ideas about education and cultural diversity.The target groups will be teacher trainees as well as in-service teachers and otherschool staff undertaking continuing education, more specifically, students in theundergraduate programmes of the participating institutions being trained as teachers (orguidance workers if this is the case), and students in post-graduate programmes,undertaking further training. Depending on the nature of the partner institutions, inservicetarget groups would include head teachers, supervisors, teachers, youthworkers and school guidance workers, enrolled in programmes related to interculturalissues. The activities and outputs respond to the following dimensions:a) Communication between participants and facilities: meetings, web-basedservices, learning community virtual platform and electronic newsletters.b) Exchanges of results, ideas and innovation: reports on the main topics of theINTER Network: intercultural education-theoretical foundations, teacher traininginitiatives, school practices, resources, communication and exchange and reports(briefs) on the evaluation process.c) A view of what the future looks like: teacher training activities in order topromote intercultural education in schooling practices.d) Resources for intercultural education: elaboration, implementation anddissemination. They will be uploaded on the network website in order to make themavailable to the general public.The INTER Network intends to create a learning community where teaching andlearning are conceived as an active and cooperative process, that inevitably occurswithin a social context. It is a process that moves people (also teachers) beyond thefactors of conditioning themselves as human persons and professionals. Learning doesnot take place in a vacuum, it occurs in a specific and dynamic social context and itoccurs with others, thanks to others. We also think that we learn mostly by experienceand when we establish links between theory and practice. The cooperation with othersis a priority to clarify concepts or procedures, and to learn from others' expertise.
