Interculturalismo y educación

Abstract

Los conflictos interculturales están entre nosotros. Una posición a favor de la multiculturalidad ha de tener en cuenta que las personas que se educan poseen un bagaje cultural propio del grupo humano al que pertenecen, que contiene valores, actitudes y comportamientos adquiridos en un ambiente exterior a la escuela, que son determinantes para su vida y que hay que tener presentes en la elaboración de proyectos curriculares que se pretendan adecuados a la realidad.

Intercultural conflicts live among us. A position in favour of multiculturalism must keep in mind that people who are educated possess a cultural baggage characteristic of the human group to which they belong. This baggage contains the values, attitudes and behavior acquired in an environment external to that of their schooling; these traits are detirmined for life, and it is necessary to keep them in mind them during the execution of academic projects that attempt to be adecuate for our reality.
