Sažetak
The issue of teachers' intercultural competencies is gaining more and more importance day by day, so it is inevitable to educate teachers to keep up with the students who come with completely different needs. In the new digital era, there are new „digital natives”, students who are seeking innovative and enthusiastic teachers. The teachers should implement all their knowledge they have gained and they should teach their students to encourage intercultural friendships, to arrange for their students Internet-based intercultural contact by using pedagogical approaches such as cooperative learning and project-basedlearning ; using different pedagogical activities. Lifelong learning as a part of teachers' job is becoming even more important with the new School for Life, the new curriculum reform in Croatia, that started in 2019. The teachers should adapt their traditional teaching methods to creative and innovative approaches. This should also be supported by a broader view of knowledge of this concept, which is influenced by schools, pedagogy, and different school subjects. This paper aims to examine the readiness of teachers to implement the intercultural competencies in their classrooms, which incorporates a variety of cognitive, sociological, and emotional skills. The users, both teachers, and students need to adapt to the new innovative pedagogical approaches to use them effectively in the classrooms
