Summary

The issue of evolving and enriching academic curricula and training methods in order to address the complexity of needs in school communities worldwide, enhance professional development and increase diversity within graduate programs (students, curriculum, faculty) has been of critical importance during the last years. The participants of this round table discussion will present the goals and structure of School Psychology training programs in different countries and the inclusion of multicultural/international dimensions and relevant actions in their programs. Suggestions for international collaboration regarding training issues and networking of SP trainers and students will be further discussed providing a basis for international initiatives and partnerships.
