Intercultural education in preschool institution

Razvoj informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, ekonomska globalizacija i migracije dovele su do potrebe za prihvaćanjem različitosti, kako u cijelom svijetu, tako i u našoj zemlji. Upravo zbog tih različitosti uvodi se pojam interkulturalni odgoj i obrazovanje u predškolskoj ustanovi, što i jest tema ovoga rada. Interkulturalni odgoj i obrazovanje upućuje nas na postojanje više kultura istodobno. Pojam interkulturalizam želi ukazati na potrebu da se živi u demokratskom društvu, bez predrasuda i govora mržnje. Ljudska prava poput jednakosti, dostojanstva, očuvanja identiteta, kulture i jezika smjernica su za pokretanje upravo programa interkulturalnog odgoja i obrazovanja. U radu se nadalje opisuju i osnovni pojmovi interkulturalizma: asimilacija, kultura, kulturalna demokracija, kulturni identitet, etnički identitet, integracija, manjina, etnička manjina, socijalizacija, te predrasude i stereotipi. Pet teoretičara istraživalo je i baziralo se na temi interkulturalizma u svojim radovima, te je svaki dao svoje viđenje i doprinos. Svaki odgoj, pa tako i interkulturalni kreće od najranije dobi, te se smatra kako je djecu bitno podučavati i usmjeravati na učenje o razlikama i prihvaćanju istih, kako bi svi zajedno doprinijeli zajednici. O protezanju interkulturalnog odgoja i obrazovanja kroz odgojno-obrazovne ustanove te učenju o istom pomaže nam interkulturalni kurikulum. Učeći o tome, kod djece se razvijaju brojne kompetenije, no za to je potreban adekvatan i kompetentan odgojitelj, kako bi na prave načine pobudio kod djece, između ostalih, socijalne vještine. Na kraju ovog završnog rada, kroz intervju, predstavili smo istraživanje. Istražili smo mišljenje odgojitelja o ovoj temi. Cilj je bio dobiti direktne informacije o tome koliko su upoznati s pojmom interkulturalizma te u kojoj se mjeri on povodi kroz odgojno-obrazovne ustanove.Growth of information and communication technology, economic globalization and migration led to need to accept diversity, both in the world and in our country. Precisely because of these differences, the concept of intercultural education and pre-school education is introduced, which is the subject of this paper. Intercultural education leads us to the existence of multiple cultures simultaneously. The term interculturalism wants to point to the need to live in a democratic society without prejudice and hate speech. Human rights such as equality, dignity, the preservation of identity, culture and language are guidelines for the launch of the program of intercultural education. The paper also describes the basic concepts of interculturalism: assimilation, culture, cultural democracy, cultural identity, ethnic identity, integration, minorities, ethnic minorities, socialization, prejudice and stereotypes. Five theoreticians have done a research about interculturalism, and each gave their views and contributions. Every education, including intercultural, comes from the earliest age, and it is considered that children are essential to teach and learn about differences and accepting them so that everyone can contribute to the community. Intercultural curriculum is learning us about the extension of intercultural education through educational institution. By learning about it, children are developing a lot of competencies, but they need the right educator which is competent and able to make children, among other things, social skills in the right ways. At the end of this final work, through an interview, we presented a survey. We made a research about opinion of the educator on this subject. The aim was to get direct information on how familiar with the concept of interculturalism and to what extent it has led to it through educational institutions
