METHODOLOGY
During the course the trainers will foster an active involvement of the participants in workgroups activities and in knowledge sharing experiences according to a practical approach.
The training course methodology will be based on:
- Non formal learning methodologies, approaches and methods which focus on the attitudes, knowledge, understanding and skills.  
- Experiential learning methods. The trainers will act to stimulate learners’ intellectual understandings but also to address their emotional feelings and participation attitudes. 
-  “Transformative learning approach” where the expert at first does not give new methods but support teachers to reframe, describe and formalize the practices that they use in everyday life in the classroom, based on the assumption that they need to reflect on their perspectives, stereotypes and falsified representations of the educational process, before approaching new methods. 
- Group work and Co‑operative learning where learners work together to achieve a common goal in a respectful, appropriate and effective way, is a particularly apt method in order to develop intercultural competencies.
