Intercultural Education in the Pre-service and In-service Teacher Training and Development

Our study proposes an exchange of good practices about the methodology and conception of interculturalism and cultural diversity in formal, non-formal and informal education in the learning communities of the Timis county, Romania. Our investigation has a two-fold purpose: to involve teachers in action research activities, on the one hand, and, on the other, to make use of the experience of academics in the West University of Timisoara as well as teachers in bilingual state schools and multilingual language schools in order to promote the enactment of the new strategies and approaches in their professional and every-day lives.
