The InterTrainE course
The InterTrainE course is divided into 4 Modules and each Module consists of 4 units.
Module 1: Theoretical Background, Basic Principles and Concepts
Module 2: Intercultural Competences in the Context of Migration
Module 3: Adult education practices in intercultural contexts
Module 4: Impact and global citizenship
A certificate of completion awarding 5 EQF credits is issued to learners who complete the course and achieve a minimum of 70% in each Module. Learners can choose to complete part of the course according to their training needs, however they will not receive a certificate of completion if they do not complete all 4 Modules.
There is a discussion forum where you are invited to ask questions and discuss key concepts or case studies in the course under the principles of peer learning.
The course is accompanied by a Course Syllabus and a Trainees’ Handbook.
You can find all our completed outputs, including research reports, curricula, the course syllabus and the trainees’ handbook on our website: http://intertraine.eu/outputs
