  Abstract:  

This study aims to analyse views of 10 teachers at selected private and national high schools in Turkey regarding an international project to develop intercultural sensitivity. Throughout the project, seminars and workshops by academic experts were prepared for the teachers concerning; intercultural awareness, culture and education, student-centred learning methods, learning styles, multiple intelligence theory, empathy, and teacher research. With the guidance of academics, teachers developed lesson plans, applied these to their classes, presented the results at national and international meetings and wrote articles about the process. While teachers were initially anxious about working with people from different countries and applying new methods, they appreciated the results. Moreover, they have stated that intercultural awareness should be incorporated into all classes. They emphasized, however, that, to be successful in such projects, teachers need fluency in English and a willingness to try new methods.

Key words: intercultural education, lesson plans, teacher views
