Understanding and experiencing the diversity of languages and cultures is both an aim of and a resource for quality education

Plurilingual and intercultural education is a response to the needs and requirements of quality education, covering the acquisition of competences, knowledge and attitudes, diversity of learning experiences, and construction of individual and collective cultural identities. Its aim is to make teaching more effective and increase the contribution it makes both to school success for the most vulnerable learners and to social cohesion.

This guide is intended to facilitate improved implementation of the values and principles of plurilingual and intercultural education in the teaching of all languages - foreign, regional or minority, classical and language(s) of schooling.

Guide for the development and implementation of curricula for plurilingual and intercultural education

Les mobilités académiques internationales se multiplient dans le monde entier. Souvent encensées voire mythifiées, les mobilités des étudiants, des enseignants-chercheurs mais aussi des personnels administratifs soulèvent néanmoins un certain nombre de questions : Qui se déplace véritablement et pourquoi ? Qu'apportent ces mobilités à ceux qui bougent et à ceux qui reçoivent ? Face au manque réel de préparation interculturelle mis en évidence par les chercheurs et les organismes officiels, ces mobilités devraient-elles être accompagnées d'une formation spécifique ? C'est de ces questions que traite cet ouvrage. L'objectif de Echanges et Mobilités académiques est donc de contribuer à là fois à une meilleure connaissance des mobilités académiques et à les faire émerger en tant que véritable champ d'étude. L'originalité du volume réside dans le fait qu'il rassemble des chercheurs-clés issus de domaines et d'espaces géographiques variés, qui croisent et cherchent à mettre en évidence les défis lancés par la multiplication des mobilités académiques. Cet ouvrage apporte également des éléments de réponse à la formation interculturelle pour la mobilité.
