The EDUKA project is intended do promote intercultural values as a foundation for shaping and developing relations in a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual society.
The purpose of the EDUKA project is to create knowledge and tools (didactic and informational material, manuals, publications, games etc.) to educate for diversity and interculturalism in the school and university environment, and to present them in particular to young people and teaching staff at all levels of education.
To this end cross-border cooperation networks among schools will function at all levels, as will networks among research institutions and universities, among public administrations and institutions operating in the field of intercultural education, amd among organisations within traditional and new ethnic minorities. These networks will provide educational, informative, promotional and research activities.
Special attention will be focused on implementing intercultural education, taking into account both the traditional minorities (especially the Italian community in Slovenia and the Slovenian and Friulian communities in Italy) and new minorities and migrant groups.
planned activities:
- estabilishing 4 cross-border cooperation networks;
- 8 pubblications (scientific, informational and promotional) on intercultural education;
- 1 dvd with a short film or spot on cultural and linguistic diversity; 2 didactical products on intercultural education (for ex. manuals, games, powerpoint etc.);
