"Intercultural Education and Competence", edited by A. Portera and C. A. Grant (original) (raw)

This work examines the impacts of globalization and postmodernism on education, emphasizing the rise of multicultural and multiethnic societies. It critiques the individualistic nature of contemporary culture shaped by neoliberal ideologies and the resultant economic and social crises. The authors advocate for an intercultural approach to education, based on the Council of Europe's White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue which suggests moving beyond multiculturalism towards fostering genuine intercultural interactions.
