The education system and its ecosystem – with its many stakeholders and ramifications – is an essential resource for strengthening
processes of social inclusion in contexts of significant cultural diversity caused by growing international migration. There is therefore a need for greater openness and permeability towards its
social and local frame of reference: the community should know
how to identify and capitalise on the opportunities offered by
more inclusive approaches to education on all levels. The intercultural approach explores the value of relationships and constantly
reframes the collective identity, built from multiple contributions,
with diversity itself one of its central pillars. Such intersections are
beneficial, with a noticeable impact on schools and in their respective contexts. This is particularly so if initiatives are long-term and
structural as well as developed in such a way that they encourage
participation and transformative processes.
