Formal and informal learning experiences in multicultural scopes

Published: 14 November 2013 Publication History

Abstract

The development of intercultural and multicultural competences and skills on lifelong learning processes has yet to be achieved, this means that main changes of paradigm still need to take place. Particularly in the field of education, it is necessary to move from traditional canons to open processes of creative interaction and build bridges by developing intercultural skills and competencies through educational and media programmes. This track is devoted to identify, share and valorize best practices and experiences (including technological and methodological issues) that focused on the development of intercultural skills and competencies in education, including both formal and informal approaches.
