INTER Group
is proposed
as
a space for reflection and
research on cultural diversity
and education.
In social
contexts where we live, where cultural diversity
is evident,
the intercultural approach proposes
the objective of reaching valuable educational achievement
for all and
all, such as the construction of identity,
the development of intercultural skills and
equal educational
opportunities.
Our starting
point is to put cultural diversity
as a focus for all educational thinking and
consider that such diversity,
far from being an exception, is the norm in
any educational
situation. Our activities are aimed,
first, to review key concepts in
education, such as
culture, diversity,
equal opportunity,
quality and equity,
citizenship and participation. At
the same time, to
conceptualize and develop the
intercultural approach in both
its theoretical and its practical implications. Our aim is therefore
to investigate about what it is
and how
to conduct intercultural education.
When teaching, we aim to raise awareness around these issues and propose courses of action in formal (compulsory education) and non-formal education (social education, volunteerism, social mediation).
