Fostering inclusive learning environments through cultural heritage
This handbook is one of the results of the Erasmus+ project REBELAH. The REBELAH project was designed to help foster more inclusive learning environments in adult education. Studies have shown that members of minoritized religious and ethnic groups experience trouble in educational settings, as learners from the majoritized groups feel uncomfortable when they are in their group. The REBELAH project aimed to create tools and activities that can help trainers and learners foster more inclusive and safe learning environments. These tools and activities have a particular focus on (European) cultural heritage. This handbook provides a number of ice-breaking, team-building, and incultural empowerment activities that trainers in adult education can use to help foster a more inclusive environment in adult learning settings. It also provides more context for the notion of European cultural heritage in a super-diverse Europe, and reports on the pilot studies testing the activities and tools in multiple national contexts.
