The project aims at elaborating a multicultural education manual, in order to promote multiculturalism and intercultural dialogue in schools and increase the visibility of the ethnocultural minorities at the level of the school curriculum.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, a curriculum had been developed and methodological materials elaborated, for an optional course of multicultural education to be taught to 3rd grade and 4th grade children. 20 teachers (10 who teach in minority languages and 10 who teach in Romanian) who expressed their wish to propose the course to the above-mentioned class levels during 2005–2006 have had three training sessions meant to assure the necessary instruments for the application of the course in class.
Starting September 2005 the manual is being tested in 20 classes by teachers trained through the program, who are also mentored all along the class development.
