Abstract	Showing awareness of the problems and the definition of priorities, this booklet summarizes Council of Europe activities and issues surrounding the intercultural training of teachers of migrant children from 1977-1983. Chapter 1 charts milestones in the Council's activities on the integration of migrants. Chapter 2 delineates terms of reference, methodology, and strategies of the working party on the training of teachers. Chapter 3 discusses language problems, plurality of approaches, and political differences in both theory and practice of the intercultural approach. Chapter 4 outlines 13 proposals for intercultural education which involve the entire school community: teachers, teacher trainers, administrators, pupils, parents, and the community as a whole. Proposals include use of art as a medium for communication and the symbolic role of the presence of mother tongues in the school. Chapter 5 considers teacher training stemming from political commitment and covering the whole education system, using a combination of methods, involving the intercultural approach in both theory and practice, and providing conceptual and methodological tools and teaching resources. A concluding section presents recommendations to member states on the training of teachers in education for intercultural understanding in a context of migration. A list of 32 publications is appended. (NEC)
