“I-VET” project aims at developing active citizenship and integration, improving intercultural skills by contextualized and self-experienced learning. Moving from a holistic definition of intercultural competence, the project design and test a comprehensive, situated and multidimensional approach to learning, enhancing the emotional-relational dimension of learning, the planning and cooperative approach, focusing on case studies and on the reflective elaboration of critical incidents. Theoretical schemes are elaborated or inferred from the experience itself. From the didactical point of view the project aims at valuing everyday life, workplace, urban areas as ideal learning activators, feeding reflection on memories and actual experiences in an action research perspective. Privileged learning trigger is the exploration of urban areas and social environments looking for traces and evidences of diversity. The operational translation of the learning path into the daily practice, under the lens of conceptual theory frames, ensure the coherence between professional experiences and learning. The creation of a stable network foster the development of a community of practice. Moreover reflective learning is supported by scaffolding and accompaniment, helping participants transform noticeable events in relevant learning objects, generating new mental frames and behavioral models.
