Details: In recent years, the debates about concepts of intercultural dialogue have become quite controversial within the European youth work sphere. While some actors are taking a highly critical stance and are close to condemn the whole idea of interculturality as highly fictional and problematic, there are also some more moderate voices who see the need for modifications without neglecting the influence of cultural identity completely. Regardless of the position the debates are often staying within a certain circle of actors and are not always reaching the youth workers actively working in the field. One of the results of the gap is the still widespread 'toolbox approach', which leads to the often unreflected use of methods of intercultural learning without deeper reflection on their implicit notions. Whereas in the program countries several institutions are offering programs, which address the critical aspects of traditional concepts of intercultural dialogue, similar offers for organisations in the EECA partner region are rare. Taking all this aspects into account the proposed seminar "Transforming the iceberg - Theory and practice of Intercultural Learning" is aiming to link theory and practice by providing a space for in-depth theoretical reflection on topics related to intercultural learning as well as the possibility to share and commonly analyze current tools and methods in this field among youth workers and youth leaders from program and EECA partner countries.
The specific objectives of the seminar are:
• To deepen the understanding of intercultural dialogue and learning among youth workers and youth leaders by providing a space for critical reflection on the applied concepts and their underlying terminology.
• To share and analyze current methods of ICL based on the theoretical concepts discussed
• To establish a network of like-minded organizations and individuals, who are interested in the further exchange on the link between theory and practice of ICD.
• To mobilize the participants to develop and realize follow up project which raises the intercultural awareness and sensitivity of young people and enables them to take a critical point of view towards commonplace perceptions.
