The transnational project ‘A VET course for Cultural Mediators to address the refugee crisis’ skills needs’ is thematically embedded in the field of providing education/training to cultural mediators with the final objective of producing educational material, including a comprehensive training programme, accessible to all stakeholders through an online platform. Given the acute – nationally and internationally – refugee issue, there is an ever-increasing and urgent need for cultural osmosis and it is in this light that the content of this programme has been formulated to contribute to the mitigation (or even the removal) of the cultural and social divide.
