Abstract:

This article is the first of a three-part series on intercultural education in multicultural schools. It explores the theoretical foundations and practical implications of intercultural education, with a focus on the conceptualization of culture and cultural difference. It investigates two opposing theoretical directions: cultural ecumenism and cultural relativism, and their influence on intercultural education. It emphasizes key concepts such as recognizing the Other and transformational pedagogy to empower culturally diverse students in the classroom. The objective of the study is to conduct a comprehensive literature review and to employ a questionnaire in order to propose pedagogical principles for effectively managing cultural diversity in secondary schools.
