One of the first networking actions of local networks in Cyprus happened in May 2024 in a local primary school in Limassol, where SYTHESIS had the chance to host an inspiring day of information and activities for the teachers! We discussed and highlighted the importance of intercultural education in teaching practices, especially in multicultural classrooms. A first interaction with best practices and strategies teachers used in the classroom were presented and an inspiring discussion emerged on the ways these can be enhanced and developed. Teachers stressed the importance to be equipped with the skills and confidence to integrate intercultural education and other thematics that would make the classroom an inclusive, respectful and inspiring place for children to learn and flourish.
Stay tuned for the many more actions that will follow as we collectively act for a more inclusive and respectful community!
