What we provide
Counselling for highly mobile families
Highly mobile families face particular challenges. The Cosmo Academy helps parents and carers to support their children in an empathetic and respectful way. We take into account the importance of cultural identity and support dialogue between families from different backgrounds.
training course for educators
We teach culturally sensitive pedagogy in theory and practice. Our aim is to provide a recognised additional qualification for educators who work in culturally diverse institutions. These professionals develop participatory concepts that strengthen co-operation and teach children a cosmopolitan, democratic attitude.
