The presentation of the social reality of the 21st century through the Reference Framework for pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures (FREPA) – a didactic tool for integrated plurilingual and intercultural education – can be beneficial to teachers. It provides the audience with some ideas of teaching learning practices that show acceptance and respect to the diversity of languages and cultures, a worldwide reality. It may change one’s mindset in a way that signifies a shift from stereotyping to tolerance and understanding.
