From our point of view multiculturality means more than a simple juxtaposition of cultures in the same area; it also means a symbiotic relationship in which the minority ethnic groups must keep alive their own identity, being tolerated and accepted by the majority. <br \/>\n We do not have refugees \/ immigrants in our school, but most of our pupils parents work abroad. They         brought their children with them, for a while. Some of them  remain there,  part of them come back, in our country,because they didn\u2019t integrate. For the moment, they are in their relatives\u2019 care and during the holidays  they visit their parents. From abroad, they bring aspects of other civilization and share them with their colleagues. Their stories, habits awake the interest of other pupils.<br \/>\nThe forms of intercultural education don\u2019t have to be limited  in  formal circumstances; they have to be conceived and practised beyond the schoolar area, at family level, other social groups level, at institutional level, or at community level. Concerning didactic methodology, some procedures are important,  those which  imply activity and participation, combined creatively,  so that the result is an intercultural behaviour. The development of  e-Twining or Erasmus+ projects, using new technologies, the involvment in partnerships at local community, interviews investigations, roles interprtations, reading bilingual magazines for children, debates on different cases, discutions about issues with an impact over school and community life, exercises of constructive and critic thoughts having as guiding marks media articles, reading about humans rights and fundamental freedoms accesible to their ages, events which invite to meditation and taking position over the major human problems, colaboration with non-govermental organisations, these are some of the activities with a huge impact on different ethnic groups, to bring distance\/farness closer, to stimulate communication, to make the knowledge more sensible, unifying it, without decreasing its identity. Thus, multiculturalism of our contemporary world could change into interculturalism, as an imperative of the world we are living in, a world which should promote the dialogue of cultures, tolerance, mutual respect, diversity\u2019s harmony, peace","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
