This meeting was attended by participants from 11 European countries. The project, focussing on intercultural learning in Mathematics and Science initial teacher education offers a contribution for tackling one of Europe’s current challenges: education for an increasing number of refugee and migrant youth to help their integration into European educational systems and to provide for stable, socially cohesive societies.
