About CIT4VET
Intercultural competencies in today’s reality are a major key competence, also due to the significant growth in migration and the movements of people across countries. Nonetheless intercultural competence development is not yet prevalent in key education pathways. This is particularly true when it comes to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and VET trainers in particular.
CIT4VET – Open Online Catalogue of Intercultural Tools for Vocational Education and Training, – addresses this need for intercultural competences in VET education. The project – sustained by a consortium of partners from Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands and Poland – helps to improve and enhance the ability of VET Trainers to provide intercultural training by offering
- an online catalogue of accessible intercultural tools to be used in training culturally diverse groups
- intercultural training material for self-study or to be used in trainings
- user’s guide to the catalogue with glossary of terms

Tools Catalogue
The Open Education Resource catalogue is a collection of intercultural tools to be used by VET Trainers. The tools are classified according to defined categories like Mode of learning, Mode of interaction, Culture focus, Copyright status, etc. You can select the tools by searching for specific categories. You also have the possibility to rate the usefulness of the tools so that your colleagues can benefit from the feedback.Intercultural Training Material
CIT4VET provides two kinds of Intercultural Training Materials:
- E-learning with exercises and tests for self-study or to be used in the classroom. The topics covered in the modules are adapted to the VET sector and contain information about: What is culture? How can culture be visualized? What is the impact of culture on the VET sector? Which are the newest trends in the intercultural field?
- A guide (with template) on how to develop useful intercultural training material and simulations in intercultural training.
Guide on Simulations
The Guidelines are a practical and illustrated Users’ Manual to the Open Education Resource catalogue. They contain explanations about the tools and chosen categories included in the catalogue, as well as the training material.
