ОЧУВАЊЕ ЈЕЗИКА И КУЛТУРЕ У МУЛТИКУЛТУРНОЈ ЗАЈЕДНИЦИ
PRESERVATION OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN A MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY

Summary/Abstract: The current world is becoming more and more multicultural. As part of global expansion, there are radical changes in the traditional culture related to the national context, which has begun to lose its former reputation. Globalization is changing the way we experience our cultural identity and the way we experience the cultural belonging of other people. The parallel processes of globalization and multiculturalism increase the crisis of culture, as well as the cultural identity crisis. We are witnessing the assimilation of cultures. Members of different cultures must build their cultural identity, accept their diversity, and learn to respect other cultures. The process of belonging to a community doesn’t imply ignoring cultural differences, nor cultural assimilation. Education plays a significant role in all this. There is a need to reform education for interculturalism and to prepare teachers for a new concept of education. The paper analyzes multicultural and intercultural education in the function of preserving the Ruthenian language and culture.
