Curriculum Development in the international I.ECEC project to support initial teacher education and continuous professional development. The aim of this research is to summarize the purposes, methods, findings and good practices of the project Intercultural Early Childhood Education and Care Curriculum Design for Professionals (I.ECEC) for educative professionals, practitioners and high school students. This implies several activities covering both national (partner countries) and international (EU) levels, namely: literature review, data collection, analysis and description of the good practices regarding ECEC (Early Childhood Education and Care) in intercultural perspective. In addition, we developed a teacher’s manual in particular for the implementation of the good practices in own educational practice.
