Proje Özeti

Diversity in its many forms is today a globally recurring feature of people’s day-to-day experiences and social interactions. It surfaces in a variety of contexts ranging from ethnicity and political ideology to education and culture, and its sheer presence facilitates a need to acknowledge and address it.The position of the EU in the face of diversity is one that enables and encourages a culture where differences are embraced, and diversity can thrive. Asserting that linguistic and cultural diversity are integral to the European identity and prioritizing inclusive higher education systems, EU policies openly promote the case for diversity-inclusive education and call for a scrutiny of instructional and research-based prospects to develop capacity for inclusion, equity and equality, to which end interculturality has significant potential. Having become part of the everyday vocabulary of various disciplines, interculturality is a field the boundaries and dynamics of which move between different interpretations, numerous theoretical and methodological perspectives, and models. It has a particular significance in the field of language education because it can relate to both linguistic and educational objectives, demanding exploration not in isolation but in association with related issues and disciplines. Perceiving interculturality thus in all its potential and adopting an innovative and transnational approach to professional development of early-career researchers (ECRs) with the use of interculturality approach will have implications on diversity-focused research conducted in the field, knowledge produced through research and global dialogue formed on interculturality with a network of diverse group of researchers. To that effect, EUREDIE project is designed to respond to the increasing concerns for inclusion, equity and equality by proposing an inclusive, accessible and sustainable researcher development and engagement path through an interculturality approach for a diverse group of ECRs involved in language education across Europe.
