MULTICULTURAL AND INTERCULTURAL CONCEPTS IN EDUCATION

Abstract

The authors of the article make an attempt to study definitions of terms that have been around at least a few
dozen years, operating in the social sciences. They suggest that multiculturalism should be treated as a form
of reaction to cultural diversity. At the same time in intercultural ideas they see integration capabilities and
expected form of interaction with otherness. At the end of the following article they add a short presentation
of the idea of intercultural pedagogy as a scientific sub-discipline.
