«Οι αρχές της διαπολιτισμικής εκπαίδευσης ως καινοτόμο εφόδιο του εκπαιδευτικού σε δομές πολυπολιτισμικής εκπαίδευσης»

Abstract

 In a democratic and open minded learning environment, empathy, solidarity, respect for cultural diversity and the elimination of nationalistic thinking are key values of intercultural education. With these values being the driving force in terms of educational function, each educational objective can be approached productively and effectively in a learning environment characterized by diversity in cultural origin. By targeting the children of refugees, immigrants, returnees, Roma and Muslims in Thrace, intercultural education in Greece is called upon to face a modern educational challenge in order to ensure a smooth and meaningful integration into native societies. Teachers of intercultural education, taking the role of an animator, need the necessary knowledge and teaching techniques to deal with important and difficult phenomena in the learning process, such as racism and xenophobia.
