This paper shall indicate the competencies thatteachers are required to develop to successfullyimplement the concept of intercultural education. Special attention shall be paid to analyzing key elements that initial trainingfor intercultural education at Teachers´ Training Faculties should comprise, bearing in mind that developing intercultural competencies in teachers constitute the basis for developing such competencies in students. Apart from providing them with a high-quality initial education, to develop the required competencies in teachers one also needs to furnish them with continuing professional development.
