Euro Tools – Intercultural Preparation for European Understanding
The aim of the project is to develop a toolbox to raise intercultural awareness and counteract the "shock" often felt by
people confronting other cultures either at home or abroad. The project is particularly aimed at adults who have had
little or no opportunity to travel and experience other countries. The toolbox will also enhance a better knowledge of
each other's culture and habits, making it possible for workers to cross borders and find suitable jobs. The emphasis will
be on the process of engaging learners in defining and understanding culture in terms of the everyday aspects such as
daily routine, food, travel and work, linguistic diversity and an appreciation of cultural products such as music, art and
crafts. Activities will be communication classes and creative arts and multimedia as appropriate to the individual
partner. There will be opportunities for learners to focus on presenting aspects of their own culture and gaining
information about others by communicating via email and Internet chat-rooms. Learners will be responsible for
planning the contents of the pilot version of the toolbox in a variety of media and presenting the results at a learner
conference in the Spring of 2007.
