L’interculturalisation des parcours professionnels comme processus d’incarnation de l'education interculturelle. L’exemple du Transatlantic Educators Dialogue

Abstract

Spearheaded by the European Union Center of the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and financed by the European Commission through the allocation of the Get to Know Europe (G.T.K.E.) grant, the Transatlantic Educators Dialogue (T.E.D) promotes educational and public diplomacy as well as transatlantic cooperation as means to explore challenges facing our educational systems in a context of international assessments, growing mobility and tensions across the globe. Intercultural in its core and conception, T.E.D. is an innovative online program for educational experts in the European Union and in the United States of America to come together for a shared examination of a variety of transversal topics, such as immigration, religion in education, active teaching methods and issues related to identity and difference. This article is based on the premise that one of the ways to develop intercultural education and global skills is to invest in the development of inclusive and intercultural networks of educational expertise.
