Abstract :
The project "Intercultural Educational Dialogues: What unites us, what separates us!" is a pilot project funded by the Minerva action of the Socrates Programme of the European Commission. It started in October 2003 and will be completed by September 2005. The main aim of the project is to research theoretically and practically what kind of learning takes place when school classes play a collaborative game based on the idea of comparing two objects or concepts. The game i.e.Us, as an in-school learning resource, will be initially implemented at schools across five European countries (Greece, Cyprus, Romania, UK, Sweden). The aim of the presentation is to disseminate the project approach and to benefit from views of interested colleagues.
