Evidencing the importance of teachers&rsquo professional training to include specific adaptations and skills on both the intercultural dialogue and understanding&mdash often called Intercultural Competence&mdash is fundamental because of the direct impact for the sustainable development of human beings, groups, and ecosystems.
