INTERCULTURALITY - FACTOR OF COHESION AND BONE OF CONTENTION IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: Interculturality is the term that refers to the contact between cultures, the existence of a dialogue between them and, last but not least, the interaction and influence that they mutually receive. Interculturality is increasingly spoken of as a state of affairs in a new millennium of global politics and interethnic communication. For the successful fulfillment of the dialogue between cultures and the positive cultural contact, an important factor towards achieving these elements in the best conditions is the impetus through the educational environment. The paper explores the concept of interculturality in the context of modern education, emphasizing its importance in a globalized and culturally diverse world. Contemporary education faces major challenges, such as integrating different cultures, ethnicities and traditions into learning processes to promote social cohesion and mutual respect. The paper analyzes the ways in which education can become a space open to intercultural dialogue, where diversity is valued as a pedagogical resource, not as a barrier. It also analyzes the role of teachers and education institutions in promoting inclusion and developing intercultural skills, essential for structuring citizens who are able to collaborate and communicate effectively in diverse environments. Intercultural education aims to develop an education for all in the spirit of recognizing the differences that exist within the same society. The conclusion of the paper is that interculturality is not only a trend of the present moment, but a long-term challenge, which requires a deep and lasting transformation of educational approaches.
