Project Description

CQ+ project consortium proposes to create a compendium of challenged-based learning resources which will provide a suitable and effective framework for developing the key soft skills needed to enhance the cultural intelligence and tolerance of diversity among adult learners. These resources will be engaging and interactive and will have a considerable potential transferability to the other EU Member States where xenophobia persists.
