Abstract
The presentation reports on a research project which explored the term 'resourceful peers‘ in the context of the MA Education (ELT) and was funded by the KU Learning and Teaching Development Fund. It concerned aspects of the taught Research Project module and students‘ views towards various activities which sought to engage students with intercultural learning. The findings demonstrated that students‘ varied cultural backgrounds clearly impacted their learning; the interactive nature of the various activities did to a large extent facilitate intercultural experiences; the interactivity of the module was perceived to be helpful both on a subject and personal level.

Bibliographical note
Impact: A range of pedagogic strategies that support intercultural learning and have been further embedded in the ELT programme: 'Learning through artefacts‘ 'Poster presentations‘, 'World café conversations‘. 'Critical friendships‘ and a 'Writing retreat‘ were found to be less useful and were revisited in a subsequent funded project. These findings have influenced the subsequent practice of teachers and students from this programme.Organising Body: Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education, Kingston University and St George's, University of London
