Teachers have identified two main educational needs in the intercultural area: one is more general and theoretical concerning the intercultural dialogue, the other one is more specific and it concerns educational activities. Training of families is the key factor for the integration because it allows families to become autonomous.

The following Code of Conduct is taken from  The Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers and Codes of Ethics for Educators, according to this document  a teacher should:

  • communicate effectively with pupils/students, colleagues, parents, school management and others in the school community in a  professional, collaborative and supportive way, communication should be based on trust and respect;
