How can acquisition of intercultural competence be implemented into
courses across the high school curriculum? The aim of this paper is to showcase
the approaches enhancing intercultural learning as promoted by the EU founding
documents and implemented within the PERMIT project. To this end, the paper is
organised in four sections. The first section introduces the main tenets promoted
by the project. The second section examines the theoretical framework for
activities within the PERMIT project, introducing the basic concepts and
strategies proposed by the cross-cultural approach and the intercultural approach,
so as to prove the relevance of these theories in achieving the main goals of the
project. A special, third section briefly presents the tools developed for the
purpose of the project, along with the facets of intercultural education that they
were meant to enhance, but is mainly devoted to commenting on the data
gathered from Italian, Slovene and Turkish secondary students with
questionnaires, which consequently informed various activities within teacher
training workshops. The final section outlines the main outcomes of the project,
namely, a set of cross-curricular teaching materials intended for the development
of intercultural awareness and gives an overall assessment of PERMIT project’s
achievements.
