FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO INTERCULTURALITY
Program Overview
This topic examines the transition from multiculturalism to interculturality in increasingly diverse societies. It begins by analyzing the concept of culture and cultural identity, shaped through socialization in families, communities, and educational institutions.
The text explores different perspectives on cultural diversity, such as ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, and multiculturalism. While multiculturalism refers to the coexistence of cultures, interculturality promotes dialogue, interaction, and mutual recognition among them.
