The “Plurilingual and intercultural education” FREPA training programme, offered by the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) of the Council of Europe, serves as a valuable platform which brings together professionals dedicated to pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures. The programme aims to provide participants with a comprehensive methodological toolkit applicable in plurilingual and multicultural educational environments, specifically designed to develop learners' plurilingual and intercultural communicative competences.
This training offers a significant opportunity for professional growth and the expansion of collaborative networks. Participants gain insight into international best practice in plurilingual and intercultural education and the advantages of innovative strategies for diverse classrooms. They engage in group discussions, share their professional experiences and complete interactive tasks, applying their newly acquired knowledge to practical classroom scenarios.
We encourage educators to take advantage of this unique training program to enhance their language teaching skills, adopt innovative approaches, and connect with colleagues across Europe. Such engagement plays a vital role in the continuous improvement and advancement of language education.
