The aim of the INTRACOMP project is to promote cultural awareness and expression in education and to enhance the inclusion and competence of children and young people. INTRACOMP particularly focuses on developing intercultural and interdisciplinary skills through arts education. The project develops an innovative and practical competence framework (ITC Framework) that supports the intercultural and interdisciplinary skills of individuals, groups, organizations, and systems. This framework helps identify, validate, and support the development of intercultural and transcultural competence in arts education.
