The primary objective of the project was to enhance the capacity of higher education (HE) institutions to effectively manage multicultural classrooms, fostering inclusivity and diversity in learning environments. The project aimed to address the challenges faced by teaching staff in creating inclusive educational practices for increasingly internationalised classrooms. Specifically, the project sought to develop innovative teaching tools, a Learning Management System (LMS), and short-term staff training programs to equip HE educators with the skills and resources needed to handle cultural and linguistic diversity. By doing so, it aimed to improve teaching methodologies, enhance classroom dynamics, and promote equitable learning outcomes for students from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, the project aimed to raise awareness among university administrators and educators about the importance of diversity management and encourage the adoption of inclusive policies within HE institutions. Through collaboration among transnational partners, the project also aspired to contribute to developing a standardised approach for managing multicultural classrooms across Europe, ensuring the sustainability and scalability of its outcomes.
The number of international students is increasing daily, and the teaching staff at the universities are facing some difficulties in creating inclusive multicultural environments. Innovative teaching materials for HIE teaching staff are needed.
