Summary/Abstract: Adolescents from cultural minorities experience particular difficulties in forming their own multicultural identity. They are determined by many factors such as language differences, behavioral patterns, cultural norms and values, social stereotypes, etc. Thus, an explication of a conflict between the external value-normative system and the internal identity is often observed. The manifestation of certain aspects of this identity are predetermined by the situation and circumstances in which adolescents find themselves and are a prerequisite for conflict. Multicultural upbringing and education are the main approach to overcome in socio-cultural conflicts.
