Interculturalism and Education of Children of Migrant Origin

U ovom radu, u kontekstu interkulturalističkog pristupa obrazovanju, autorica analizira neke probleme obrazovanja djece migrantskog porijekla. Najprije govori o socijalizacijskom utjecaju škole koji je uvijek povezan s utjecajem države i dominantne kulture. Stoga i obrazovanje djece migrantskog porijekla u Evropi stavlja u kontekst društvenih promjena (osobito promjena što se tiču položaja migrantske populacije). O interkulturalističkom projektu koji već dva desetljeća (više ili manje) prožima (i) obrazovne sustave zapadnoevropskih zemalja govori se na primjeru Francuske. Na kraju se ističe važnost suradnje zemlje porijekla i zemlje primitka u ostvarivanju koncepta interkulturnog obrazovanja. Ali taj koncept, drži autorica, ne može dovoljno prožeti shematiziranu praksu koja se (uglavnom) svodi tek na prepoznavanje digniteta kulture porijekla imigranata jer interkulturalizam predviđa uzajamnost, ravnopravno sudjelovanje i razmjenjivanje između svih kultura u dodiru.In this paper the author analyses, in the context of an intercultural approach, some of the problems pertaining to educating children of migrant origin. She first discusses socializational influence of the school, which is always linked to the influence of the state and dominant culture. Therefore, education of the children of migrant origins is also placed in the context of social change (especially change which affects the migrant population). The intercultural project, which has for two decades (more or less) conpenetrated, among other things, the education systems of West European countries, is discussed with reference to the example of France. Finally, the author emphasizes the importance of cooperation between countries of migrant origin and immigration countries in the realization of the concept of intercultural education. Nevertheless, this concept, according to the author, cannot be sufficiently envigorated within a schematized practice that is (mainly) reduced only to recognizing the dignity of the original culture of immigrants, since interculturalism envisions mutuality, equal participation and exchange between all cultures in contact
