CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Cultural diversity is the most common heritage of humanity and should be recognized for the benefit of present and future generations. This diversity is embodied in the uniqueness and plurality of the groups and societies’ identities making up humankind. The project’s innovation and added value lies in the fact that one of the most important ingredients for creativity is diversity;
Thus, innovative ideas are implemented by creativity developing new initiatives on diversity management and mediation in favor of youth workers. The main project’s challenge is to motivate and influence youth workers to deal with the cultural diversity’s support. Therefore, under the MULTINATIONS project, a Self-test tool will be created in order youth workers to be able to evaluate and determine their level of knowledge and skills on cultural diversity mediation, by using critical thinking and previous experience.
OUR OUTCOMES:

- “Moving Stories”, digital storytelling about the multiculturalism;
- Self-test tool of appropriateness as a Cultural Mediator.
