The Multi(Inter)cultural School in Inclusive Societies : A Composite Overview of European Countries PDF

EU schools are today welcoming more and more pupils from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, becoming increasingly culturally composite. However, language problems and cultural misunderstandings have the potential to arise from diversity and different cultural and origin affiliations. Some problematic areas concerning both language and educational aspects have emerged with the integration of children from different backgrounds at school.

This collection of essays explores different aspects of multicultural and intercultural education, and highlights critical features of multicultural schools in Europe today. It analyses data and new research trends to provide valuable inputs in the field of education strategy, suggesting the review of educational methods and contents to ensure high quality education and training for all children. It offers a wide range of social cases and empirical analyses in both Western and non-Western settings, and will appeal to both educators and the wider public.
