Rationale
The development of intercultural and multicultural competences and skills on lifelong learning processes has yet to be achieved, this means that main changes of paradigm still need to take place.

This track is devoted to identify, share and valorise best practices and experiences (including technological and methodological issues) that focused on the development of intercultural skills and competencies in education, including both formal and informal approaches.
