The Importance of the Inclusion of Intercultural Diversity
The Importance of the Inclusion of Intercultural Diversity

Summary/Abstract: The key issue is how to build an educational system that respects individual diversity while ensuring that diversity is included as much as possible in accordance with our conditions and capabilities. Searching for the structure of commitment, we wanted to diagnose the current state of variables that determine the current predictors that encourage and facilitate the inclusion of intercultural diversity of individuals as well as predictors that prevent equal approach for all cultures in the educational system. The interculturalism limited only on supporting or respecting diversity, will not yield significant results if it does not try to find the conditions for the development of this diversity. Social distance as a product of confrontation might have bad influence on the power of individual consciousness, an important prerequisite for intercultural identity, which is fundamentally built only by communication between two different parties - representatives of different cultural identities, who strive to become an intercultural community. This paper aims to present and point out the importance of the development of consciousness as a prerequisite for intercultural identity and inclusion of intercultural diversity, as well as to point out that it is necessary to communicate regardless of the differences among us, because here lies the beauty of an intercultural identity that is hidden in diversity.
