Summary/Abstract: The European Council’s Recommendation relating to teacher training in education for intercultural understanding, highlights the fact that the purpose of international education, which is above intercultural education, is to develop the sense of social responsibility and solidarity with disadvantaged groups and induce respect for the principle of equality in daily behaviour. The essence of the intercultural education system is represented by ensuring authentic cultural interactions, free from the constraints of a competitive axiology. We refer, in this respect, to the promotion through education of a continuum of value, of connecting bridges between different cultures, ethnicities, religions or races which are in contact.
