The competence of intercultural education mobilizes multiple cognitive resources, schemes of perception, anticipation, judgment and thinking, opinions, values, reconstructed representations of the reality, theoretical and methodological knowledge, attitudes, skills, combining a strategy to solve communication problems and harmonization of cultural and social diversity. The model of the competence of intercultural education gathered the normative, teleological, content and technological aspects. The normative aspect of the model is based on the principle of inclusive initial training, the principle of systematical approach in training, and the revaluation of the formative potential principle. These principles derived from the new functions and features of the essence of the educational process and the theories and approaches of renowned researchers. The content aspect is presented through a positive message of the competence of intercultural education resulting from the fusion of implicit and explicit education, in the context of the university and school curricula. The technological aspect proved that the efficiency of the implication lies in combining different forms of teaching activities and the continuity of the objectives of the two phases of the formative experiment: applied – formative and formative-applied. The elaboration of the curriculum focused on competences and the use of the observation sheets were the methodological support of the competence of intercultural education. The model is valuable as it contributed to the formation of the competence of intercultural education, resulting in a functional complementarity of generic competences and specific competences. The formation was performed during the classes of English Didactics (course and seminar), the didactic and pedagogical practice. Developing the didactic competence we strengthened the intercultural competence and we formed the competence of intercultural education.
