With the current tensions and animosities between people of various
cultural and ethnic groups in Turkey due to the continuing influx of refugees
and migrants from Middle Eastern and Asian countries, intercultural dialogue
offers a concrete strategy for fostering understanding, promoting tolerance,
and dismantling stereotypes and xenophobic-based barriers. As the migrant and
refugee population grows each year, the importance of peaceful cooperation in
schools grows as well. It is critical for training in-service teachers to
establish a feeling of community among refugee and local schoolchildren and a
desire to connect with one another in a nonviolent manner. This project aims to
train Turkish in-service teachers to become
peace advocates and gain intercultural dialogue skills. We intend to help in-service
teachers be equipped with intercultural dialogue
strategies that they can implement in their school communities to eliminate
common misconceptions among refugee, migrant, and local populations with a
better grasp of sustainable peace. In-service teachers will also have an increased awareness of intercultural
communication that will serve them well in their professional practices with
students from diverse backgrounds. The proposed Intercultural Dialogue Training
for in-service -teachers will be provided in
five monthly sessions. Starting from providing contextual information about
intercultural dialogue, each session will provide pedagogical strategies to
educate refugee and local schoolchildren. We hope that this project will be an
exemplary practice for those who want to provide similar intercultural dialogue
training, peace education, and relevant pedagogical skills to reinforce
democracy and social harmony among students from various backgrounds.
