It is an action research, with a control group of 15 kindergarteners, who were chosen by convenience sampling.

Specifically, the main goal of the dissertation was the children’s updating and awareness regarding the refugee issue as well as the development of their intercultural sensitization through the use of ICT.As it seemed through the research, the development of ICT has contributed a lot in the educational process as their use and contribution in issues of intercultural education is very useful and necessary. According to the results of the research, it seemed that the contribution of ICT was valuable for the accomplishment of the goal and the aims of the study since the children managed to be sensitized and be informed about the issue of distinctness, to develop their own positive attitudes towards it and yet cultivate their empathy.
