Catalan term or phrase: pràctica transversal
I know "transversal" is a word, but I would never use it except in a very technical text - does anyone have any bright ideas for this case, please:

"El disseny com a pràctica transversal i el disseny com a disciplina especialitzada és el plantejament que orienta i situa, en diferents nivells, els estudis...."

Thanks!

cross-cutting practice


Explanation:
Depending on the context, I think transversal can be translated as 'cross-cutting' or 'cross-sectional' or 'cross-curricular'. Here I think 'cross-cutting' might be possible.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Berni Armstrong: That seems to be the implication here. We should make a glossary of these buzzwords! The Catalan Authorities, in particular, are very fond of them.

The British Council isn't afraid to use it:-)

The transversal programme includes Arion study visits, which are managed by Ecotec. It also includes activities that focus on language learning and innovation in ICT, previously covered by Lingua and Minerva.
