- Abstract
- (en) This document presents the results and the tools developed by the European project “Higher Education for You too” (HE4U2).During the last decade Europe has faced an increasing flow of migrants arriving from regions affected by war, conflict or disaster in search of an opportunity and a better life. Today, the phenomenon continues: the mobility of all these individuals arriving to Europe compels our societies to respond and to include these newcomers in our current systems in the best way possible. Higher Education Institutions are continuing to learn how best to facilitate this process. There is a clear need for the education system to respond, including providing training for teachers working with migrant or ethnic minority students, to reform the delivery of support for these learners, integrating at the same time an intercultural dimension for all learners in the classrooms in an inclusive approach. The HE4u2 project developed an approach to the intercultural dimension of existing curricula, developing a set of guidelines and a generic Continuous Professional Development course for staff to understand how cultural diversity can enhance their work, and a set of policy recommendations focusing on the curricula and the teachers of adults in Higher Education, who often provide access for disadvantaged groups.
