This document summarizes a training course for teachers in Florence, Italy in April 2016 about multiculturalism in Europe. The training included lectures, presentations, discussions, group work, museum visits and an intercultural dinner. Teachers observed different European cultures through history and participated in activities to learn about other cultures, find commonalities, and understand different ways of thinking. The goal was for teachers to become more creative, innovative, and able to eliminate stereotypes when teaching about multiculturalism.
