In this sense, the development of academic coursework regulated by a policy of good practices is important for supporting global curriculum content and the inclusion of co-curricular and cross-cultural experiences. In-depth analysis at a national level demonstrates the lack of global design for the implementation of global and cross-cultural competences. Thus, the European project VIR_TEACH suggests the design of a White Paper for a comprehensive Language Teachers Training at a European scale where coordinated policy actions and a strategy for engaging policymakers and public administrators are encouraged.
