Summary:

The training programmes aimed to include the value of interculturalism and emphasize capacity building at all levels of public administration (national, regional and local). They addressed public servants employed at all levels of government who deal with third-country nationals or handle issues related to them, in order to help them design and implement comprehensive integration policies.

The project included seminars with educational units regarding:

Ι. The basic fundamental principles related to the notion of interculturalism: cultural identity, cultural diversity, intercultural ability/skills, intercultural communication etc.

ΙΙ. International and national institutions and mechanisms to protect fundamental human rights.

ΙΙΙ. Development of modern techniques to improve verbal and non-verbal communication: tools and practical advice which will allow participants to put into practice basic principles of intercultural communication.
