The melting iceberg - Learn to swim in the sea of diversity and ambiguity
Training Course
20-25 October 2013 | Vienna, Austria
This training course will inspire you to look behind you understanding of culture and Intercultural Learning, experience what it means to be diversity conscious and reflect about your educational practice in regards to Intercultural Learning.
The first T-Kit on Intercultural Learning has been written 15 years ago and has influenced greatly educational practice in the field of Nonformal
learning and European youth work. An update of this T-Kit is currently been worked on.
SALTO Cultural Diversity in the UK has asked a group of experts to redefine intercultural competence; on the basis of this definition they
made a research and produced a study on how intercultural competence is being addressed in Youth in Action projects – the report
can be found here: http://www.salto-youth.net/rc/cultural-diversity/publications/.
In all the debates one aspect seems to be clear – the notion of “culture” and “Intercultural Learning” as applied in the practice of the European youth field is too static and fails to address important dimensions threatening social cohesion (such as social injustice,
discrimination, power relations, ambiguous identities).
What is an adequate response to these developments for the European
Youth field – in particular for the educational practice? New concepts and approaches are being developed and explored – eg. diversity conscious approach or the concept of ambiguity and change. Both are inviting to change perspectives, see more dimensions (social justice, discrimination, power relations, ambiguous identities) and reflecting personal attitudes.

The specific intentions are:
1. Inspiring participants to look behind
their understanding of culture and
Intercultural Learning.
