Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that school teachers and educators face many challenges as they deal with increasingly complex and diverse learning situations and meet competence demands in a constantly changing cultural environment with the high flow of migrants in Europe. Providing attractive, effective and efficient high-multicultural possibilities for school teacher training supports school teachers and teachers educators to address skills deficits and update their competences throughout their career based on the current situation of the social crisis as the integration of migrants in the school setting and minimizing the  respective cultural gap is one of the main objectives of the DEVCULT research project.

            In this paper, we will present current situation in schools across EU and results of the survey as a basis of new teaching methodology with e-learning component.

Key words: cultural bond, migrants, teachers, students, parents
