The INNO4DIV initiative aims to strengthen the educational needs of teachers for inclusive education in a context of diversity. It addresses the lack of teachers’ intercultural competence (IC) in a context of increasing diversity in classrooms. The related report highlights 21 innovative good practices, which successfully addressed the existing barriers for teacher´s IC development. This is especially important for allowing teachers to contribute to the construction of the EU social identity, being EU a melting pot of cultures. In the INNOD4DIV project “cultural diversity” is understood in terms of human diversity and not as a representation of migrants, ethnic minority, or other minority groups.
