Teoretska izhodišča za pripravo izobraževalnih programov za življenje v multikulturni družbi

Living in multicultural societies often creates uncertainty, fears, prejudice. In order to reduce this uncertainty and to increase coexistence and cooperation between cultures, we suggest intercultural learning. Intercultural learning should not be understood only as a single way. It can be seen either as an individual process of acquiring knowledge, changing attitudes and behaviour in interaction with other cultures, or as a process of creating harmonious life for people with different cultural backgrounds. The purpose of the discussion is to present cross-cultural learning and its fundamental theoretical positions, which could serve as a basis for preparation of educational programmes for life in a multicultural society.Živimo v večkulturnih družbah, kar pogosto vzbuja negotovost, strahove, predsodke. Kot pot k zmanjšanju te negotovosti in k povečanju sožitja ter kooperacije med kulturami predlagamo interkulturno učenje. Medkulturno učenje lahko razumemo bodisi kot individualen proces pridobivanja znanja, spremembo odnosa ter načina obnašanja v interakciji z drugimi kulturami bodisi kot proces ustvarjanja mirnega in povezanega skupnega življenja ljudi, ki izhajajo iz različnih okolij. Namen razprave je predstaviti medkulturno učenje in temeljna teoretska izhodišča, ki bi služila za pripravo izobraževalnih programov za življenje v multikulturni družbi
