Abstract	For several years, the authors have been carrying out different projects together with their respective local partners in various countries in the areas of intercultural learning and the promotion of peaceful living together, using physical activity and sports as their main tools. These projects focused on evaluation and research to explore and assess the underlying theoretical frameworks of the programmes and to identify good practices and challenges for further actions. By sharing the theoretical fundaments, the processes and the results of those experiences, a common framework emerged together with the attempt of systematizing some of the practices in a joint trans-national project. A methodological model for intervention and evaluation was developed, articulating concepts, theories and models from different disciplines. The methodological model of intervention was developed through an articulation of two models coming from the applied anthropologist Gimenez Romero and the social psychologist Cohen-Emerique, and its application to the field of physical education and Sport. Evaluating the whole intervention process and using in addition to the quantitative research instruments also qualitative techniques allowed the authors to analyse links regarding the theories of change between the input, activities and processes and the observed outcomes. In that way, the research concluded not only on changes of attitudes and positive interaction among the different groups, but also on responsible factors for the changes. Once the theoretical framework mentioned above was agreed, the second step was to agree on the details of a joint trans-national research and intervention project. The overall aim is to overcome strangeness and prejudices within the groups, to promote mutual understanding, positive intercultural interaction and living together. Being aware about the danger of promoting a false feeling of normality, other essential aspects are to empower individuals and groups; to facilitate orientation towards structures, organisations and rules of the society; to promote and support the necessary changes in those structures to be fully inclusive; to widen spaces for the individuals into the broader society; and to ensure sustainable spaces for intercultural interaction. The main research questions are: Which are the key strategies and processes to promote intercultural living together through Physical Education and Sports? Which are the relevant theoretical categories for the analysis? Which are the key competences of the facilitators? Which research tools are useful and pertinent to evaluate the processes and results?
