A group of Maltese educators, including members of the Let Me Learn (LML) Malta centre, recently took part in the 4th transnational meeting and training seminar of the e-Spices Grundtvig project in Italy.

The project is mainly aimed at enhancing the awareness of diversity in Europe and addressing communication problems between service providers. It includes the exchange of good practices in intercultural communication training, particularly in the context of bureaucratic-institutional discourse.

This training provided participants with new insights on how to engage in intercultural communication more effectively and efficiently, thus addressing the needs of this ever-increasing phenomenon in today's reality.

The e-Spices project originated from a previous Grundtvig project, Spices, which has been selected as an example of best practice for the Grundtvig programme as well as proposed for inclusion in a publication of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education and Culture.

The Maltese educators also took part in a one-day conference at which the LML team introduced the LML process to members of the Faculty of Education of the Università degli Studi di Perugia.

The delegation was led by Colin Calleja, coordinator of the LML Malta Centre and national coordinator of the e-Spices project, and included Valerie Salerno, Susan Grixti and Michelle Attard Tonna from the Let Me Learn team, University lecturer Carmel Borg, Josephine Vassallo, assistant director responsible of multi-cultural education and Humanities at the Directorate for Curriculum Management and e-learning, Paul Sammut, head of Birżebbuġa Primary 'C', and Lina Deguara, head of St Paul's Bay Primary 'C'.
