✔ to help student teachers and teachers to understand and appreciate educational approaches towards diversity than those in their own countries

✔ to help student-teachers become aware of the various forms of cultural expression present in their own national cultures, and in migrant communities

✔ to help student-teachers realise that they too should become agents of a process of cultural exchange and develop and use strategies for approaching, understanding and giving due consideration to other cultures as well as educating their pupils to give due consideration to them.

✔ to help students develop cross-cultural skills in dealing with cultural and religious dimensions within the European context

✔ to develop among students a cross-cultural professional attitude in cooperating and dialogue
