Abstract: Cultural diversity is not a prejudice anymore, but a reality that needs to be capitalized in the school environment. Intercultural communication can be developed through professional development programmes. These programmes meet the communication needs of the teachers who work with children from disadvantaged areas. The continuing training programme proposed by us offers an interaction based on respect for alterity and promotes situations where individual values intersect with group values. Individuals from different cultural backgrounds can find themselves confronted with another system of perceiving reality, with a system of different cultural visions on space and time, with a different way of relating. In order to develop intercultural communication, we propose specific methods and tools that can be used successfully in the instructive-educational activity. In this sense, the following will be pursued: identifying individual and group values, recognizing different lifestyles in different environments, interacting with others, analyzing the symbolic representations to which we relate in our understanding of the world we live in.
