Summary/Abstract: The article explores the concept of education and its essential role in training the individual for an active and responsible life in the community. Education is defined not only as the transmission of knowledge, but as a complex process of personality development, including intellectual, moral and physical dimensions. Johann Amos Comenius emphasizes that education is crucial for man to truly become a "man", and the ultimate goal of education is the formation of civilized behavior and harmonious integration into social life. In the context of globalization and multiculturalism, education adapts by promoting intercultural education, which aims at mutual understanding and respect between different cultures. Intercultural education helps individuals to interact effectively in a diverse world, developing intercultural competences necessary to face the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities of diversity. In addition, multicultural education supports the integration of ethnocultural minority groups and promotes equal opportunities, while combating racism and discrimination. The article emphasizes the importance of intercultural literacy, which is not imited to linguistic skills, but includes the development of social and cultural competencies essential for understanding and respecting diversity. Intercultural literacy contributes to the social integration of individualsfrom different ethnocultural groups and facilitates intercultural dialogue, reducing stereotypes and prejudices.
