Intercultural & Citizenship Education through Teacher Education for the Mediation of Picturebooks (ICETEMP)

Erasmus+ Programme (September 2024 - August 2027), co-funded by the European Union No: KA220-HED-2024-011

The ICETEMP project aims to

  • enhance the linguistic and intercultural education of English language teachers working with learners aged between 8 and 14;
  • develop innovative teaching practices focused on dialogue and the active participation of young learners during picturebook-based English language teaching;
  • promote intercultural understanding and responsible citizenship education in English language teaching;
  • enable communication, exchange, and the coordination of materials and action-based projects between English language teachers across national borders.

ICETEMP is based on and seeks to further develop ideas that emerged during the award-winning ICEPELL project (2019-2022, https://icepell.eu/ ). As part of the ICETEMP project, partner universities from six different countries will develop an innovative module for English language teacher education. All resources produced will be available as open access materials for teachers and trainers.
