Abstract:
The article reveals the fact that intercultural education demands from the school an important process of opening and renewal, matching curricula to the reality of multicultural societies. Schools are basing their work increasingly on the principle that all are equal. Now intercultural education asks the school additionally to acknowledge and respect cultural differences between individuals. Children and young people need to learn how to live together. It is necessary to introduce intercultural elements into the school curricula that take into consideration – with objectivity and respect – the characteristics of the different cultures cohabiting within a specific area and open up the school children’s view of the world.
