DESCRIPTION
Multicultural and Intercultural education has been in the center of discussion for quite some time now as the ethnic, social and religious groups of Europe’s community are becoming more and more diverse. The goal of this programme is to overcoming passive coexistence of different cultural groups in the context of a classroom and achieve their successful integration in the learning environment. Nevertheless, it is very important to keep the unique character of each culture alive, giving vital space to all ethnicities to avoid extinction.
The topic is of crucial importance especially nowadays, that the world is constantly changing and we have to keep up to a global and diverse reality. The importance of this educational programme may begin from the narrow environment of schools, but in reality, it stands for much more that just that.
