class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course started with acknowledging the importance of the concept of identity as a first step to go deep into diversity. From a visual activity, our participants thought about their own identity and the relation that identity has with culture. This allows the group to debate and to discover the theory of cultural intelligence to build an understanding of what \u201cintercultural learning&#8221; means to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Successivamente, i partecipanti hanno svolto un esercizio di narrazione incentrato sugli stereotipi. Insieme abbiamo scoperto il significato del <strong>circolo vizioso degli stereotipi<\/strong>. They were invited to reflect about how stereotypes can convert into prejudices and discrimination, generating a vicious cycle that strengthens stereotypes. As put in an inspirational TED Talk we saw &#8211; <strong><em>\u201cShow a people as one thing \u2014 as only one thing \u2014 over and over again, and that is what they become.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'ultimo argomento su cui abbiamo lavorato \u00e8 stato <strong>inclusione<\/strong>. First, participants have been involved in simulation activities to acknowledge and discuss about the challenges of<strong> comunicazione interculturale<\/strong>. Le attivit\u00e0 possono aiutare gli studenti a mettere in discussione i preconcetti comuni, spingendoli al contempo a riflettere su come individuare i legami tra culture diverse. \u00c8 stata poi svolta un\u2019altra serie di attivit\u00e0 di gruppo incentrata sul concetto di <strong>membership and empathy<\/strong>. Le sfide di gruppo proposte possono essere adattate a diverse materie e attivit\u00e0 didattiche, consentendo agli studenti di comprendere il <strong>importanza per ogni membro della classe<\/strong> per apportare contributi preziosi e per <strong>comprendere le esigenze e le diversit\u00e0 dei propri compagni di classe<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the course we worked on the exploration of the link between culture and education. Participants got involved into some activities to become more aware of <strong>how cultures influence teaching<\/strong> e <strong>stili di apprendimento<\/strong>. The goal of the exercise was to think about the attention and sensitivity that teachers need when specific cultural patterns arise in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-768x1024.jpg\" data-id=\"11138\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11138 lazyload\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"11138\" src=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/S24-scaled.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the learning process and the (inter) cultural offer of the course, participants had the chance to share experiences and to debate about them, making them even more eager and curious to put the knowledge gained in the classroom into action while discovering the city and interacting with our locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scopri di pi\u00f9 su questo corso <a href=\"https:\/\/erasmustrainingcourses.com\/it\/diversita-e-apprendimento-interculturale-in-classe\">Qui.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, schools and educational programs are welcoming a wide variety of people whose socio-cultural backgrounds are very diverse.
