Abstract
TOCL’s objectives are to: - contribute to migrants’ knowledge and participation in the host country’s community by
learning the hosting culture, consequently facilitating social inclusion - use ‘Translating Culture’ (TC) as an innovative
approach in order to educate migrants present in host countries on cultural matters - support and develop the
competences/knowledge of professionals working with migrants by training them on “Translating Culture” methodology -
develop a training methodology/curriculum and practical translated material (in English, French and Arabic) to be used by
professionals (during their educational action, as support of the existing language education) with migrants to convey
cultural education. The key to achieving these goals is to produce an innovative educational approach that practitioners
can use to convey the host country’s culture through translation of material such as literature, song lyrics, jokes, proverbs,
idioms, newspapers, recipes, pieces of legislation, national calendar celebrations, and anthems. This approach is
fundamental to assist migrants in their integration into the local community. In fact, professionals will be able to
complement language classes with cultural education modules. The open-source TC training methodology/curriculum
and translated national tools could be used by them during their cultural training activities
