Language education in Europe is deeply connected to the European Union’s motto: “United in Diversity.” As a member of both the European Union and the Council of Europe, the Czech Republic is tasked with upholding the spirit of these words. But to what extent is this achieved, and where do challenges arise? This presentation explores the potential and limitations of three approaches to implementing and supporting cultural diversity in language education: curricular development, teacher preparation, and methodological innovation.

We begin by summarizing recent curricular changes in Czech elementary education (ISCED 1 and 2), focusing on how these updates explicitly promote the principles of diversity in (language) education. Next, we examine the new National Framework of Competencies for Beginning Teachers, a document designed to recognize the diversity of cultures and teaching approaches within teacher education. Currently in the implementation stage, the framework offers an opportunity to reflect on the challenges of achieving meaningful impact in teacher preparation. Finally, we present an innovative methodological approach at the university level—the 3MultiAccess project. This initiative created multisensory educational resources for students across four countries (Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and Danmark) and five languages using 3D printing. We will highlight the project’s outcomes and their potential to enrich methodological diversity in language education (ISCED 4-5).
