The seminar will focus on the field of intercultural education both at theoretical and practical level through the presentation and discussion of the main results of a research study conducted in the intercultural primary schools in Greece. It is anticipated that Issues addressed will include
- Is there any difference between multicultural and intercultural education both theoretically and practically?
- Is intercultural education necessary to be implemented only when there are migrant pupils in the classroom?
- Should intercultural education be implemented only in the classroom?

Cooperative learning is defined as 'a method of instruction that encourages students to work in small groups, learning material, then presenting what they have learned to other small groups. In doing so, they take responsibility for their own learning as well as their classmates’. In other words, cooperative learning is a system in which students become both motivated and motivators. By shifting responsibility for learning from teachers to students, cooperative learning takes away the “us vs. them” mentality that the typical school organization naturally tends to encourage and creates in its place a new dynamic environment where students feel empowered and eager to succeed on their own terms and not only to please their teacher
