In times of globalization, the coexistence of people from different cultural backgrounds has increasingly become the norm in many countries. Intercultural learning represents the process of learning knowledge, skills, and abilities that facilitate intercultural communication and collaboration.
One of the many objectives of the Erasmus+ course “Intercultural Learning – making it work” was to help the participants improve their skills in dealing with cultural diversity. The course included various interactive and dynamic approaches to provide a deeper and more practical understanding of intercultural competence.

Intercultural understanding can help break down barriers, reduce conflict, and achieve more successful outcomes, whether in business, education, or politics.
