Intercultural Education in Europe: The Bridge Teaching Values of Cultural Diversity

Abstract

The phenomenon of migration is not new in the history of humanity. Nevertheless, European countries are still facing difficulties when it comes to the integration of migrant children. In the present paper, intercultural education is seen as a solution to integrate and preserve migrant children's culture. Surprisingly, analysis of its theoretical approach revealed some significant practical weaknesses. As a result, this paper suggests that theoretical methods may not be enough to promote multicultural understanding based on equality, respect and diversity.
