Through this project, the partnership aims to enhance the awareness of diversity in Europe. It will tackle communication problems between service providers (i.e. adults-professionally-in-contact-with-mobility) and adults-in-mobility by working towards a European database of bureaucratic-institutional corpora (of written as well as spoken training materials) and making it available to the general public. The partnership reflects on how the corpora could be created interactively by both trainers and learners following the SPICES methodology, the result from a previous Grundtvig project SPICES - Social Promotion of Intercultural Communication Expertise and Skills 224945-CP-1-2005-1-IT-GRUNDTVIG-G11. This stimulates the active participation of all citizens (professionals and non-professionals) involved in intercultural communication, specifically in bureaucratic-institutional contexts. Specific Objectives and Activities: The e-SPICES partnership exchanges good practices in the field of intercultural communication trainings in the context of bureaucratic-institutional discourse (in Italy, Germany, Greece, Malta, Poland). These practices are also be transferred to countries outside the European Union (Turkey). In collaboration with the other members, the Belgian partner ‘Erasmushogeschool Brussel’ (EhB) works out a strategy to customise its current terminology and knowledge management tools. This allows the partnership to implement the good practices and experiences in intercultural communication training. In particular, the partnership selaborates best ways to involve actively trainers and trainees through a “conducive learning environment” based on the principles of the Let Me Learn (LML) approach (Malta) in which all involved individuals (trainers and trainees) learn from each other in a cooperative way, also through online training activities.

Abstract
Through this project, the partnership aims to enhance the awareness of diversity in Europe. It will tackle communication problems between service providers (i.e. adults-professionally-in-contact-with-mobility) and adults-in-mobility by working towards a European database of bureaucratic-institutional corpora (of written as well as spoken training materials) and making it available to the general public. The partnership reflects on how the corpora could be created interactively by both trainers and learners following the SPICES methodology, the result from a previous Grundtvig project SPICES - Social Promotion of Intercultural Communication Expertise and Skills 224945-CP-1-2005-1-IT-GRUNDTVIG-G11. This stimulates the active participation of all citizens (professionals and non-professionals) involved in intercultural communication, specifically in bureaucratic-institutional contexts. Specific Objectives and Activities: The e-SPICES partnership exchanges good practices in the field of intercultural communication trainings in the context of bureaucratic-institutional discourse (in Italy, Germany, Greece, Malta, Poland). These practices are also be transferred to countries outside the European Union (Turkey). In collaboration with the other members, the Belgian partner ‘Erasmushogeschool Brussel’ (EhB) works out a strategy to customise its current terminology and knowledge management tools.
