Pedagogical Responsibility and Multicultural School. An intercultural perspective for education

Abstract

This contribution focuses on the issue of intercultural education to promote dialogue and cultural exchange amongst natives and foreigners. In this perspective, diversity (cultural, gender, social class, etc.) becomes an important point of reference in educational processes, providing an opportunity for all to develop from the current situation. In fact, students need relational experience and cultural tools to learn how to interact without fear and with an open mind with new cultures, in a world increasingly marked by the dimension of interdependence. If enhanced by an intercultural educational approach, the multicultural context offers important opportunities for the modernization and enrichment of the cultural profile of the school.
