Curriculum interculturALE is a tailor-made intercultural-didactical training course for instructors and volunteer learning guides who work with refugees in low-threshold language courses. The training opens up a space where adult educators can reflect on and learn how to tackle challenges like the increasing diversity in the classroom, distress and trauma, language barriers and differences in educational backgrounds of learners. The training has been developed by DVV International in cooperation with an international team of experts. It consists of a curriculum as well as teaching and learning materials (methods, videos and dossiers) on themes such as communication, integration, trauma, migration, culture and identity, teaching and learning approaches in different countries, etc.
The training course and the collection of teaching and learning materials are aimed at improving the skills of instructors and volunteers working with refugees in the education sector, e.g. in low-threshold language courses, integration and orientation courses etc. The collection of teaching and learning materials “Curriculum interculturALE” can be used flexibly by various educational organisations involved in refugee work in order to develop tailor-made intercultural and didactic training offers for their staff.
The project was funded from 2017 to 2019 by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the ‘Einstieg Deutsch’ (‘First steps in German’) project, implemented by the German Adult Education Association (Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband/DVV).
