Στόχος της ημερίδας να ρίξει φως στις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν οι εκπαιδευτικοί ιθύνοντες στα σύγχρονα πλουραλιστικά περιβάλλοντα και να εντοπίσει προοπτικές για τη δημιουργία πιο περιεκτικών και αποτελεσματικών πολιτικών και πρακτικών. Η ημερίδα απευθύνεται σε εκπαιδευτικούς Πρωτοβάθμιας και Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης, καθώς και σε επαγγελματίες οι οποίοι εργάζονται σε πολλαπλά πεδία εφαρμογής της Διαπολιτισμικής Εκπαίδευσης και Διαμεσολάβησης, όπως οργανισμοί, εταιρείες, μη κυβερνητικές οργανώσεις, κρατική και τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση. 

Η ημερίδα απευθύνεται σε μαθητές/τριες λυκείου που φοιτούν σε δημόσια και ιδιωτικά σχολεία. Στόχος είναι οι μαθητές και οι μαθήτριες να γνωρίσουν το επάγγελμα του εκπαιδευτικού μέσω μιας καινοτόμου δράσης, η οποία θα αναδεικνύει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο «δωμάτια απόδρασης» (escape rooms), μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν για να ενθαρρύνουν την ενεργητική μάθηση, την ομαδική εργασία, τη διάδραση, την κριτική σκέψη και τη δημιουργική λύση προβλημάτων.

To σεμινάριο πραγματοποιείται στα πλαίσια του ευρωπαϊκού προγράμματος «B-Me - Blending Melodies: Bridging Cultural Identities», το οποίο βασίζεται στη διακρατική δημιουργία και κυκλοφορία πρωτότυπων μουσικών συνθέσεων που δημιουργήθηκαν μέσω της συνεργασίας ντόπιων συνθετών με μουσικούς που έχουν προσφυγικό ή μεταναστευτικό υπόβαθρο.
