Citizenship and Interculturality: Two Keys in order to Understand Education in the XXI Century
Abstract
Citizenship and interculturalism: keys to twentieth century education. Almost everywhere on earth, cities express the reigning multiculturalism in that they provide an image refl ecting the diversity of their inhabitants. This new reality requires management styles, models and practices in line with the moral and civic demands of our time. Thus, multiculturalism needs to be managed more and more through programmes that promote peaceful, harmonious living together among all human beings. It is about living together rather than merely side-by-side, taking up a joint struggle leading to the building of common spaces, the development of better cities for everyone, more inclusive, open to and acknowledging otherness. This fi rst part of this paper sets out a relection on thoughts, feelings and experiences of difference now current. From both an external and internal viewpoint and via a journey through past and present, it poses and replies to a variety of questions on this matter, with the aim of projecting a better future, the construction of a world open to otherness and interculturalism. In the second part, proposals are put forward for the development of interculturalism in teaching centres.Downloads
