"Research showed that in EU there is a variety of ethnicities encompassing different cultures & religions. The 2011-2012 censuses in AT, CY, ES, IT, PT, RO, TR, UK reported existence of various religions: Muslims, Roman Catholics, Protestants, Hebrew, Hindu, Presbyterian, Anglican, Methodist, Reformed, Pentecostal, Orthodox, Sunni, Alevi or Sufi. Social tensions and anti-social deeds inevitably occur in such mixed societies, generated by multiple factors (i.e. different religions, cultural traditions, ethnicities or social clusters, etc.) and can be defused through non-formal & informal education, training for tolerance, acceptance, opening, understanding and reciprocal knowledge; this was exactly what the Us&Them project attempted to achieve. The project aimed to improve the multicultural skills of educators working with learners from linguistic, ethnical, religious, racial and cultural mixed communities, to make them able to efficiently manage multi-ethnic groups, for reducing social tensions, promoting tolerance and better peaceful coexistence through quality non-/informal learning on tolerance & understanding of “The Others”. The target groups were AE educators & adult learners from cultural conglomerates.The partnership consisted of 8 organisations from: AT, CY, ES, IT, PT, RO, TR, UK. GIE (RO) is a strong regional AE & VET provider; CY (CARDET) is the leading independent education research centre in Cyprus; ES (FUERM) is a foundation of professionals with expertise in education, training, research, innovation; LMETB (IE) is an institution with international recognition for innovation in education; STAFF CONSULT (IT) is a company that provides support to disadvantaged people; ANJAF (PT) is a non-profit association whose aim is to encourage solidarity between young people, families and community; CIMEM (TR) is a local authority in education; COLEG CAMBRIA (UK) is one of the UK’s largest colleges. Together they had the expertise necessary to succesfully implement the project.Main activities undertaken were: O1: desk & field research (by bibliographic survey, questionnaire, Focus Group) on specific features of European cultures to identify potential sources of social-cultural tension; elaborating Transnational Report. O2: desigining the Curriculum for Adult Educators training course “Managing multicultural and multi-ethnic groups of adult learners for tolerance and good coexistence”; translation in partner languages.C1: performing the joint staff training event in Rome (Italy) at STAFF Consult.O3: desigining Handbook I for Adult Educators “A new approach of multiculturalism and religion for peaceful and rightful coexistence” (draft version, evaluation by stakeholders, adjustment, final version); publishing it in 20 copies/partner.O4: designing the Plan for AE educators Course; translation in partner languages; implementing parts 1 & 2 of the course “Managing multicultural and multi-ethnic groups for tolerance and good coexistence” (20 hours f2f training – pedagogical, English and cultural skills; 20 hours online training).C2: performing the blended mobility of adult learners in Lisbon (Portugal) at ANJAF (40 hours f2f training).O5: desigining Handbook II for learners living in multicultural societies ""One day in the shoes of The Other“ (draft version, evaluation by stakeholders, adjustment, final version); translation in partner languages; publishing it in 20 copies/partner.O6: desigining and translating in partner languages the Plan for Adult Learners Course; implementing the intensive course “One day in the shoes of The Other”; 12 hours of f2f training, 124 participants); elaborating the 8 National Reports.O7: developing the 8 Case studies; translation in partner languages.We also performed Management, QA, evaluation, dissemination, exploitation, sustainability activities which continued all over the project.Results & impact: increased awareness on AE staffs & stakeholders (authorities, decision makers, NGOs, social workers, immigrants) in partner countries regarding the need of promoting, supporting and strengthening peaceful coexistence within multicultural communities, 51 well trained AE educators through C1 and C2 events and over 40.500 stakeholders reached through interview, Focus Groups, f2f meetings, trainings based on Handbook II “One day in the shoes of ‘The Other’ ”, multiplier events and through various dissemination channels – social media, websites, articles in newspapers, scientific paper in international journals, etc.We estimate longer-term benefits will be more obvious in the coming years through the larger distribution of Us&Them outcomes. More meetings with stakeholders and especially with AE providers will be achieved in all countries to share results and to teach participants how to use them in their professional activities. The free access to project outcomes through the project website will represent another stimulus which will help disseminating Us&Them tools."
