Sfide e opportunità nel promuovere il multilinguismo e le competenze interculturali

Abstract

In the context of the Republic of Moldova, multilingualism and intercultural competencies are essential for the development of an inclusive and high-quality educational system. Given the continuously expanding linguistic and cultural diversity, it is imperative to ensure equitable access to education for all students, particularly those from diverse linguistic backgrounds. However, the integration of foreign students and the recognition of their cultural identities present significant challenges that can be transformed into valuable opportunities within the educational environment. Educational institutions can become centers for intercultural dialogue, promoting an appreciation of diversity. In this context, teacher training plays a fundamental role, necessitating specialized preparation to effectively address the challenges encountered in multilingual settings. The promotion of active teaching methods and the involvement of all members of the school community are essential for responding to the challenges associated with multilingualism. Through a concerted effort, multilingualism can be transformed into an added value, thereby contributing to the construction of a more inclusive and cohesive society.
