 Multiculturality, diversity, integration - equal opportunities for everyone" – these are the most important challenges for today's Europe. In a more and more diverse and multicultural society people face with a dual situation: to be able for a deeply integration or to preserve their cultural/ethnic identity. Partners are Romania, Turkey, Germany, Italy, Estonia, Republic of North Macedonia

The problems are: difficulties to integrate students of minorities, refugees, with different backgrounds in every day school life; lack of competences and important skills for most of students from a risk situation– communication or intercultural skills, lack of self-confidence and support, problems of identity, the gap between majority and minorities students – they are not eager to better know the traditions or cultural values of the others; discrimination or marginalization of minorities, refugees or migrants; difficulties to learn the languages in their new countries.

1st mobility was on november 2019. It has been extended until the end of 2022.
