Abstract
Interculturalism has become one of the manifestations of the modern, technologised world and, like any complex social process, it brings benefits but can also be a source of many problems and doubts. So, what is intercultural education about? What are its connotations and its links with religious pedagogy? In order to answer such questions correctly, it seems necessary to refer to John Paul II’s view on globalisation. He observed that globalisation is a new phenomenon that needs to be analysed in depth because it is characterised by obvious ambiguity. Therefore, in today’s increasingly culturally diverse societies, the most important task is to ensure harmonious interaction between people and groups with different cultural identities and to develop in them the desire to coexist together (John Paul II, 2000, 3). In view of the above, interculturalism obviously becomes a challenge for education. Education in the area of cultural diversity requires not only the formation of conscious and creative members of a national or world community, but also the cocreation of a harmonious global community. In this sense, intercultural education versus religious pedagogy concerns man and his numerous determinants, as well as the opportunities and limitations in his development. Therefore, in order to identify the links between intercultural education and religious pedagogy, the semiotics of the former should be analysed first.
Description
The concept of intercultural education is
very broad. As a scientific discipline, it covers the knowledge of various
cultural and symbolic systems, i.e. ways of defining the world and relations
with people from different cultures.
