The project aimed to: Promote integration and cultural diversity by facilitating interactions between different cultures to reduce prejudices and establish an atmosphere of mutual respect. Equip adult educators with an innovative tool (the WoW Box) so they can better support learners from diverse backgrounds. Develop intercultural skills through interactive activities, workshops, and events (including the final event in Madrid) that enabled people from various backgrounds to meet and exchange ideas. Create a strong support network through transnational partnerships, encouraging the sharing of resources and best practices to build more inclusive European societies.

Development: Design of a multisensory educational tool including an illustrated educational booklet and four activity families. Research on the surprise effect guided the design to stimulate curiosity and promote interaction. Project Management and Organization: Establishment of partnership agreements, monitoring documents (timesheets, calendar, budget), and a collaborative workspace (Drive, discussion groups). Learning Activities: Organization of focus groups to explore the concept of surprise, followed by a meeting in Marsala to lay common foundations and define activities. Each partner then developed proposals, with an emphasis on design, ergonomics, and sustainability. Testing and Piloting Phase: A test workshop in Paris identified areas for improvement, followed by piloting of the final version. Dissemination: Organization of presentation events in the three partner countries, creation of a multilingual showcase website, distribution of a flyer, and communication campaign on various networks. An evaluation system was established (questionnaires, TPM meetings, etc.) and a critical friend followed and advised the project.
