Abstract: CLIM stands for Cooperative Learning in Multicultural Groups, and proposes a certain structure of the teaching contents, based on the pedagogical principle of creative – cooperative learning (CCL). It can be also considered a strategic element of diversity management in a school, whenever one can meet different cultures, ethnics, native languages, political views or religions. The purpose of the hereby study is to analyse the efficacy of this method – does it really enhance group cohesion and an inclusive atmosphere, where all the participants feel themselves and appreciated for what they are? The methodology involved the inquiry through questioning, with a questionnaire as the research instrument. The results showed that using this method when teaching, integrating values and positive attitudes – cognitive flexibility, teamwork, tolerance towards differences, critical approach to cultural stereotypes, interest in discovering socio-cultural and professional life-related aspects - may lead to improved relations among the participants in the education process.
