The diversity of different values and attitudes, with which we are confronted every day, often leads to difficulties, conflicts, stress and dissatisfaction at learning and acting together. The situation is characterised by the diversity of global interrelations and the difficulties and problems arrising from this at the communication with each other. The major topic of the project is the sensitisation of the participating educational staff with regard to the topics of migration, racism, discrimination, culture and diversity. Furthermore, the development of strategies to deal with the above mentioned issues in diverse groups also belongs to the concerns of the project. The following goals are to be achieved through the sensitisation of educational staff and the learning of appropriate cooperative teaching methods: The learners of adult education institutions: - become open, critical and active citizens; - learn to live and work with others and to appreciate diversity in general; - stand in the centre of learning activities and discover their diverse skills and competences: - are appreciated and supported; - develop awareness about stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination, exclusion and racism and gain intercultural competences; while the teachers and trainers in adult education institutions: - learn how to teach these topics and how they can discuss these topics with diverse groups; - learn how they can create a trustful learning atmosphere; - learn how to develop a creative and inclusive learning atmosphere; - learn to implement practical, structured and creative learning methods, in order to sensitise diverse age groups about the issues of stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination and racism; - get to know cooperative teaching methods to be implemented in diverse, multicultural groups; - learn how they can develop and implement such tasks for their own subjects; - prepare a teaching plan by the end of the course that they can implement in their adult education institution. The target group of the project is the educational and administrative staff of adult education insitutions. In the project period 30 people, including freelancers, can take part in the planned course. Their education institutions are aimed to develop strategies that improve the communication and intercultural competences of their learners, by ways of introducing well-structured, intercultural and cooperative teaching methods. The course program is rather practical than theoretical. It requires the full participation of all learners. The essential methods are put into execution through cooperative work, diverse activities, discussions, group work, role plays and practical training. Presentations are kept short and take place between activities. Learning by Doing plays a major role. In the English-speaking courses of the course provider all participants need to be capable of performing simple activities/tasks in English. The results of the complete program are reflected in the sensitisation of the teaching staff. They have got to know different cooperative methods, with which they can train the social and intercultural competences of their learners in adult education. They have developed teaching units to sensitise their learners about the topics mentioned above. In addition, they have prepared practical material in their own subjects, with which they can train simultaneously the social and intercultural competencecs of their learners together with the subject. Aftercare: when the participants return home they present and discuss the different methods they had learnt and their practical implementation in the class at a post-course meeting. Subsequently they introduce and test the methods they had learnt in their classes.
