LET’S INCREASE ADULT EDUCATORS’ INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCIES

Abstract

The article is a study on enhancing adult educators’ intercultural communication competencies as achieved through the INCREASE European project (2019-1-RO01-KA204-063872); the project is being implemented by a partnership of institutions and organisations from six countries, coordinated by the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Iasi, Romania. The project aims to strengthen the intercultural communication competencies of adult educators who work in various formal and non-formal educational settings in order to help them to overcome the challenges arising from their everyday work with multicultural and multilingual learners. The paper presents the project’s objectives and activities and gives insights into the research findings on multiculturalism in adult education in Romania.
