Diversity and Social Inclusion is a program of study aimed at enhancing awareness of differentkinds of social inequalities rooted in many different ways of diversity in our contemporarysocieties. It supports to develop core competences in future educators, health careprofessionals, social workers with the help of an already piloted interdisciplinary model (ICIC)based on blended learning approach. This model could improve the sensibility to differencesin cultural, socio-economic and health status, and the unequal distribution of social resources.At millennial discourses minority-majority issues occupies central position, which are stronglylinked to the differences in the meeting of social needs in the society. Cultural difference initself doesn’t mean unequal status, although through the power related nature of majority –minority opposition cultural difference might lead to peripheral status or even segregation.Socio-economic differences relate to different health status and opportunities in access tocare. Vulnerable groups are often facing with the problem of “invisibility” drawing from thefact that they are not able to share the language of discourse dominated by the leadinginstitutions. Finally, integration in itself seems not to be the golden route in every situation –discussions on it should be reflected more deeply.Drawing from these, the targeted future professionals participate in bridging the social gapsduring their everyday work, so the importance of socio-cultural sensitivity, interculturalcommunication and cooperation skills must be highly emphasized in their training
