This paper tackles the topic of social services, both public and private, used for the integration of immigrants in the case of the Basque Country. Firstly, some data of inflows to that Spanish region and the legal aspects in migration policies and programmes fostered for the integration of immigrants are shown. Secondly, the analysis that explores the social services and devices provided from the public sphere and from the social organizations concerning the integration of international migrants is performed. For this purpose, a research survey was carried out with an empirical study from a methodological design for document analysis and legislation. Qualitative techniques were applied to different agents and institutions involved in policy-making and public services for the integration of foreign-born residents at the level of the Basque Country including social workers at basic social services and civil society institutions and associations related to the immigrant population. The results are intended to draw conclusions and suggestions for the improvement and enrichment of the intervention with migrant population in intercultural European societies in time of reconfigurations.

Canons in education are social projects nested in a dynamic national tradition. Social and cultural changes as well as challenges of globalization result in changes of educational canons. Challenges of Polish transformation as well as requirements of the future enforce modifications of the current Polish canon of the romantic origin. The suggested changes are following: 1) changes in the meaning: transition from the ethnic meaning of “a nation” category to the civic one; 2) transition from the politics of a cultural domination to the politics of pluralism; 3) transition from communitarian democracy towards liberal democracy; 4) developing of a global, European, civic and intercultural dimensions in education; 5) redefining categories of “patriotism” and “the patriotic education”. The aforementioned changes should apply however evolutionary approach reinterpreting and modifying the contents of the current educational canon.

The article shows the transition from the universalist idea to the idea of diversity in the practice of French theatre and dance institutions. It sets this transition in an ideological and historical context while it presents the most recent strategies of French cultural institutions and the impact of the opening up of the institutions on the contents and language of the performing arts. Citing the work of Nadia Beugré, Ana Pi, Rachid Ourmadane, Koffi Kwahulé, Dieudonné Niangouna, and Léonora Miano, among others, it shows what male and female Afroeuropean artists contribute to the socio-cultural order being built on diversity.

In this article, I discuss the issues of mixed marriages, referring to research conducted by Polish sociologists, psychologists and educators. On this basis, I try to show possible areas of conflict in this type of relationships, various strategies for working out compromises as well as various relations with the social microstructure. I emphasise problems related to bringing up children in a bi-cultural family environment, in particular aspects of bi-religious home education. My intention is also to identify potential areas of intercultural enrichment and the emergence of new cultural capital in mixed families. I also reflect on PolishJewish marriages by recalling the biography of a representative of the third generation of the Holocaust survivors, married to a Catholic, who has introduced, together with her husband, a model of dualistic education. The research was based on the biographical method, unstructured/indepth interviews. The article presents one of the elements of broader research, which focused on the construction of  the socio-cultural identity of the narrators.

The coexistence of different nations, races i.e. cultures in the same social space that could be a country, a village or even a company is already a fact. Nowadays, not taking into account the tools of intercultural communication may result in damaging every communicative act. We believe that there is a necessity for revising and explaining the concepts related to the subject of intercultural communication from the perspective of foreign language teaching. In this article we will discuss such concepts as: interculturalism, transculturation, acculturation, integration, identity, etc. We will also look into the origin of intercultural communication. All these reflections will bring us closer to the intercultural competence which, in our opinion, students of foreign languages, i.e. intercultural speakers, should possess. In conclusion, we present the main objectives of the Common Frame of Reference for the Languages of the Council of Europe (2002) with regard to intercultural education.

Transcultural and Transcorporal Neighbors: Japanese Performance Utopias in  Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba and Phillip B. ZarrilliThis paper is mainly focused on the concept of transcultural bodily knowledge elaborated by Eugenio Barba and Nicola Savarese in their concept of theatre anthropology. Their research on pre-existent and pre-expressive values of the human movement, especially considering Asian theatre and performative practices, will be reexamined in the context of over-imposed interculturalism in Humanities and Social Studies. The focus will be thus put on the modifications of the bodily knowledge in this sense (Yuasa), as well as on the (re)appropriations of the Asian philosophical/theoretical embodiment schemes in the Western thought, not only from the standpoint of performative research made by Eugenio Barba and Phillip B. Zarrilli, but also from the standpoint of Shusterman’s pragmatic reinterpretations of Merleau-Ponty’s legacy, Schechner/Turner’s anthropology of human performativity, etc. In this context, the key idea of unique transcultural background of the human kinesis, employed mainly by Barba, will be put in an overall context of contemporary (trans)cultural utopism. The key element for interpretation will thus be an overall context of Asian martial arts practice, especially the significance of ‘iemoto principle’ (hereditary bodily technique) for the establishment of Grotowski’s, Barba’s and Zarrilli’s psychology and physiology of performance tactics. Transkulturowi i transcieleśni sąsiedzi: japońskie utopie performatywne u Jerzego Grotowskiego, Eugenia Barby i Philipa B. ZarrilliegoArtykuł skupia się głównie na pojęciu transkulturowej wiedzy cielesności, wypracowanym przez Eugenia Barbę i Nicolę Savaresego w ich ujęciu antropologii widowiska. Ich badania nad uprzednimi i przedekspresywnymi wartościami ruchu ludzkiego, zwłaszcza w kontekście teatru azjatyckiego i praktyk performatywnych, zostają wpisane w kontekst nadreprezentowanego w humanistyce i naukach społecznych interkulturalizmu. Uwaga autora skupia się na zmianach w wiedzy cielesnej w tym kierunku (Yuasa), jak też recepcji azjatyckich filozoficznych/teoretycznych schematów wcielania w myśli Zachodu, nie tylko z punktu widzenia badań performatywnych Barby i Zarrilliego, lecz również w Shustermanowych pragmatycznych reinterpretacjach myśli antropologii performatywności Merleau-Pontiego, Schechnera i Turnera itd. W tym kontekście kluczowa idea jednego transkulturowego podłoża ludzkiej kinesis, wykorzystywana głównie przez Barbę, jest wpisana w nowy kontekst współczesnego (trans)kulturowego utopizmu. Zasadniczym elementem interpretacji stają się azjatyckie sztuki walki, zwłaszcza znaczenie zadasy iemoto (dziedzicznej techniki cielesności) w ustanowieniu psychologii i fizjologii taktyk performatywnych u Grotowskiego, Barby i Zarrilliego.

Due to the emergence of new social problems resulting from weakening pro-integration moods regarding culturally, ethnically, or religiously diverse societies, the Acting in Context by Training the Trainers in Social Empowerment (ACTTE) project was prepared and implemented. The Polish National Agency of Academic Exchange (NAWA) financed the project as part of the International Academic Partnerships program. The project goals were: 1) shaping competencies/skills in the field of DPA (Developing the Power to Act) in organized training participants (NGO employees and academic teachers), 2) developing tools for intervention work based on the concept of Empowerment. Within the training, the research was carried out based on the action research methodology and the use of scaling and uncategorized interview. The article presents the excerpt of the research, which was aimed at determining the changes in the competencies related to the use of the DPA approach in the project’s participants, as well as their subjective understanding of the DPA. The presented research results show the legitimacy of the project implementation by partner institutions, which are universities and non-governmental organizations. The competences and skills acquired by the project participants can be used in academic and environmental work.

This study comprises an analysis of the school education system in the context of using modern technologies. Its main goal is to present the benefits and limitations associated with the implementation of modern technologies in the school environment. Two fundamental questions will be asked: 1) What are the effects of using new technologies in education, including intercultural education? 2) Can modern technologies pave the way for implementing the ideal of education as an activity aimed primarily at shaping an individual capable of effective and creative adaptation to the social reality in which otherness, including cultural otherness, is common? The authors indicate the types of implemented technologies and assess their impact on adapting students to the extracurricular reality. Referring to the source data and postulates of the contemporary pedagogical and sociological thought, the authors highlight the topicality of the message requiring from the school the activation and development of students’ competencies that will be effectively and creatively implemented in their future professional and social life. It should also be noted that education takes place in cyberspace as well, especially when it is related to the use of modern technologies, which is why great importance should be drawn to cybersecurity.

This paper examines the international management of human resources. People have been one of the first challenges of any company wishing to work and develop an activity in other regions. The various movements of these human resources and competencies have implicated the phenomena of culture exchange worldwide. Intercultural conflicts, intercultural competencies, and intercultural management, are topics multinational companies did not face decades ago. Researchers worked on these differences and how humans can accept and cultivate the cultural differences in society. In recent decades, the global economic scene, and more particularly the European one, has increased international competition affecting both companies with an export profile and companies targeting the domestic market. International trade is a special case in general, it has the same principles as internal trade, but it suffers from certain changes related to phenomena caused by artificial and on the other hand natural barriers such as, distance, communication and interculturalism.

Kronborg Castle in the Danish town of Elsinore is a location strongly associated with Shakespeare thanks to the setting of Hamlet. It is a place where fiction currently eclipses history, at least in the context of a cultural tourist industry where Shakespeare’s name is worth a great deal more than Danish national heritage sites. Indeed, Kronborg is now widely marketed as ‘Hamlet’s Castle’ and the town of Elsinore has acquired the suffix ‘Home of Hamlet’. This article examines the signifiers implied in the naming and renaming of Kronborg as a Shakespearean location, while also looking at its unique international Shakespearean performance tradition, which spans two centuries. It describes how the identity of the castle has been shaped by its Shakespearean connection against the backdrop of changing ideologies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and poses questions as to how this identity may continue to develop within the current contexts of renewed nationalism in Europe and the world.

The traditional definition of Irishness has been overwritten by internationalization, cultural and political discourses. Globalisation today sets the ground for the redefinition of a “new Ireland” altering the ethnocultural base to the definitions of Irish national identity. Recent cultural criticism on modern Irish studies have described the Irish nation as undergoing moments of crisis and instability within a global context. This paper explores and analyzes the process by which literary dramatic works dealing with Irish national distinctiveness have been put subject to being written and re-written as the Irish nation passes through periods of instabilities and problematisations. Ireland has been affected by conflicting narratives and needed to move “towards a new configuration of identities” (Kearney, 1997, p. 15). Edward W. Said comments on this fracturing of identity as “human reality is constantly being made and unmade” (1979, p. 33). The attempt Irish playwrights have made to address factors affecting Irishness and the violent assertion of national identity addressed in this paper, are considered within a post-nationalist and post-colonial context of dramatic works.

Globalizacja to proces, który w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach przyniósł wiele zmian. Poprawa i dalszy rozwój aspektów ekonomicznych spowodowały, że ludziom zaoferowano nowe możliwości i to poza granicami państwa. Nie tylko istniejąca infrastruktura odpowiada za to, że świat w coraz większym stopniu staje się światem wielokulturowym. Mimo wielu zmian różnice między kulturami w zakresie ich podejścia i przekonań, ale także znaczenia i interpretacji życia codziennego, nadal są widoczne. Migracja jest ściśle związana z polityką pracy. Jeśli pozwalają na to wymogi prawne, celem wielu migrantów jest zarabianie pieniędzy poza granicami ojczyzny. Na terenie Niemiec żyje i pracuje ponad 100 różnych narodów (Visser, de Jong 2002, s. 110). Niemcy to kraj wielokulturowy. Ze względu na rosnącą liczbę osób starszych opieka nad nimi musi dostosować się do wielokulturowej klienteli. Międzykulturowość ma ogromne znaczenie nie tylko dla opieki, ale także dla całego społeczeństwa. Wielokulturowe zespoły robocze są i będą w przyszłości powszechną formą pracy na terenie Niemiec (Barth, 2000). Nie tylko coraz więcej odbiorców opieki, ale także opiekunów pochodzi z innych krajów i innych kultur. Z tego powodu potrzebna jest praktyka i zmiana podejścia, aby sprostać wyzwaniom w delikatny i uporządkowany sposób.

Globalization is a process that has brought many changes in recent decades. Improvement and further development of economic aspects meant that people were offered new opportunities, and this outside the country. It is not only the existing infrastructure that is responsible for the fact that the world is increasingly becoming a multicultural world. Despite many changes, differences between cultures in terms of their attitudes and beliefs, but also the meaning and interpretation of everyday life, are still visible. Migration is closely related to labor policy. If legal requirements allow, the goal of many migrants is to earn money abroad. Over 100 nations live and work in Germany (Visser / de Jong 2002, p. 110). Germany is a multicultural country. Due to the growing number of elderly people, caring for them must adapt to a multicultural clientele. Interculturalism is of great importance not only for care but also for society as a whole. Multicultural work teams are and will continue to be an increasingly common form of work in Germany (Barth, 2000). Not only more and more care recipients, but also more and more carers come from other countries and cultures. For this reason, practice and a change of approach are needed to deal with this topic in a delicate and structured way.

The paper addresses the issue of intercultural dialogue and its importance for ecological humanism and how this problem is reflected in American literary nonfiction at the beginning of the 21st century (as exemplified by nonfiction novel Zeitoun by Dave Eggers). The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the successful resolution of modern socio-ecological crises requires practical humanism and the actualization of the principles of ecological philosophy. The most important component of the dialogue among cultures at all levels is the moral component, since it is mutual recognition and respect for norms, customs, traditions, ideals, eternal moral values that are the basis for the mutual enrichment of cultures, as well as the socio-political, environmental and economic stability of society as a whole. The book Zeitoun by Eggers demonstrates the importance of intercultural dialogue especially in situations in which entire nations face global ecological disaster.

Global cultural exchange is a well-known, boundless phenomenon. Therefore, it is fundamental for countries to promote mutual understanding and tolerance of cultural diversity, to prevent stigmatization and social hermetization from migrant backgrounds, and to foster social inclusion, thus fulfilling the assumptions of sustainable development. Polish society is considered to be relatively homogenous in terms of culture, however, the increasing influx of immigrants, especially from Eastern Europe, poses a new challenge for its national schooling system and multicultural education. That is why the aim of the article was to verify the state of preparation of Polish schools for multicultural education, mutual attitudes of the participants of the educational process, and the relationships between them, as well as to indicate dependency between parents, students, and teachers. The article presents the results of quantitative research carried out in a group of early childhood education teachers from border regions. The results of the conducted research showed the state of intercultural education in Polish schools before the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The study is barely the attempt of monitoring the condition of intercultural education, especially in the current “new multicultural reality” in Polish schools.

Studies on the patterns of marital selection began in the 1920s, and since then researchers have identified a set of variables that should be taken into account in marriage selection research. In this study the following variables are considered: age, nationality, race, social class, environmental background, attitude to faith, religion, attitude to religious practices, education, current employment status, previous marital status, number of marriages, number of children from previous marriages, and financial situation before the present marriage. One hundred and twelve Polish women who married foreigners from non-European cultures took part in the study. Their husbands were representatives of African, Asian and Australian countries; none of them came from Europe or the Americas.The aim of the study is to examine marital selection among intercultural marriages and to provide new knowledge on the subject. In connection with the adopted topic, the purpose of the research and the analysis of the literature on the subject, the main problem of the research was formulated as follows: what are the similarities and differences in marital selection in intercultural marriages?The study revealed that, in most cases, marital selection among the couples who participated in the study followed a similar social biography: the spouses were of a similar age (79.5%) and shared race (90.1%), social class (74.1%), environmental background (61.6%), education (56.2%), attitude to faith (92.8%), and their financial situation before the present marriage (65.2%). The results obtained confirmed Farle’s theory, in which he distinguished three main factors influencing the frequency of intercultural marriages: military service, higher education and place of residence. The analysis of the data indicates that the majority of the respondents lived in big cities (57.1%), and higher education was the most common level of education among both the respondents (60.7%) and their husbands (41.1%).

The article describes the history of the relics and cult of Josaphat Kuntsevych in Biała Podlaska (ca. 1705-1915) in terms of their significance for the creation of cultural space. After the relics had been transported from Polatsk to Biała Podlaska, they were kept in the chapel of Radziwill Castle, and then from 1764 they were displayed in the Basilian Orthodox church. The analysis of visual forms, musical culture, and religious practices demonstrated the readiness of the Uniate community to adapt and absorb cultural phenomena. The activity of the Basilians contributed to the transmission of elite culture to the whole society. The creation of the cult did not cause barriers for any groups to act either as creators or as recipients. Josaphat Kuntsevych gained popularity among people of different social status, believers of Greek and Latin rites; he was not identified with any ethnic group or nationality.

The aim of the article is to show the value of work in multicultural groups to create a diverse and beneficial educational learning environment. The contemporary situation of migration is a challenge for Polish, usually monocultural schools. The most important task is now to equip teachers with the skills that will enable them to recognize and develop their own strategies towards cultural diversity and take advantage of educational and didactic work in multicultural teams. The basis for these actions may be educational practices in classes attended by Roma children. The experience gained during these practices can be used to modify university teacher training and to model work in a multicultural environment.

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie wartości pracy w grupach wielokulturowych dla tworzenia zróżnicowanego i korzystnego wychowawczo środowiska edukacyjnego. Współczesna sytuacja migracyjna stanowi wyzwanie dla polskiej szkoły z reguły monokulturowej. Najważniejsze obecnie jest wyposażenie nauczycieli w umiejętności, które pozwolą im rozpoznać i kształtować własne postawy wobec zróżnicowania kulturowego oraz wykorzystać wychowawczo i dydaktycznie pracę w wielokulturowych zespołach. Podstawę mogą stanowić praktyki edukacyjne stosowane w klasach, w których uczą się dzieci romskie. Zdobyte doświadczenia mogą posłużyć do modyfikowania programów studiów nauczycielskich i tworzenia modeli pracy w wielokulturowym środowisku.

The purpose of the article is to reflect on one aspect of hospitality – the issue of openness of society to representatives of other cultures. According to popular beliefs and in the opinion of researchers of Polish traditions, hospitality is one of the fundamental characteristics of Polish culture. At the same time, however, it is also attributed to distance from others, distrust, and sometimes even xenophobia. The subject of the article’s analysis is contemporary Polish reportages showing Poland as an unfriendly country. The purpose of the study is not to treat reportages as credible sources of knowledge about Polish culture but to reflect on persuasive elements present in the story of difficulties in intercultural communication. The subject of the analysis is the texts contained in two books – the King of Kebabs by Marta Mazuś and the collective volume entitled Damage. Beaten with Poland (by Urszula Jabłońska, Magdalena Kinińska, Kai Puto, Małgorzata Rejmer, Ziemowit Szczerek, Maciej Wasielewski, Mirosław Wlekły, Agnieszka Wójcińska). The article’s author points to the elements of xenophobia that can be extracted from the stories cited and the subjective points of view of subjects reporting and interpreting the events revealed in the narrative.

Cel artykułu stanowi podjęcie refleksji nad jednym z aspektów gościnności – zagadnieniem otwartości społeczeństwa na reprezentantów innych kultur. Gościnność stanowi, zgodnie z powszechnymi przekonaniami oraz w opinii badaczy polskich tradycji, jedną z podstawowych właściwości kultury polskiej. Równocześnie jednak przypisuje się jej dystans wobec innych, nieufność, niekiedy wręcz ksenofobię. Przedmiot analizy zawartej w artykule stanowią współczesne polskie reportaże, które pokazują Polskę jako kraj niegościnny. Celem analizy nie jest idea potraktowania reportaży jako wiarygodnych źródeł wiedzy na temat polskiej kultury, a namysł nad elementami perswazyjnymi obecnymi w opowieści o trudnościach w międzykulturowym komunikowaniu. Przedmiot analizy stanowią teksty zawarte w dwóch książkach – w Królu kebabów Marty Mazuś oraz w tomie zbiorowym o tytule Obrażenia. Pobici z Polską (autorstwa Urszuli Jabłońskiej, Magdaleny Kinińskiej, Kai Puto, Małgorzaty Rejmer, Ziemowita Szczerka, Macieja Wasielewskiego, Mirosława Wlekłego, Agnieszki Wójcińskiej). Autorka artykułu wskazuje na elementy ksenofobii możliwe do wydobycia z samych przytoczonych historii oraz na ujawniające się w narracji subiektywne punkty widzenia podmiotów relacjonujących i interpretujących przywoływane zdarzenia.

The article presents an analysis of Polish and Iranian (Persian, Tajik and Shughni) proverbs, idiomatic and proverbial phrases and sayings about the dog, where the dog theme is used in order to clarify certain human traits and 181Z. Błajet, P. Błajet Metafora z motywem psaphenomena of the real world. In the study an ethno-linguistic approach has been used. The Iranian examples demonstrate large similarity to Polish ones. From the perspective of the conception of the embodied-embedded mind in which metaphors are considered as a mental representations we note the existence of the unity of the human experience regardless of the differences between people living in different cultures.

Przedmiotem rozważań tekstu są przysłowia, aforyzmy, związki frazeologiczne, wyrażenia przysłowiowe i porzekadła wykorzystujące motyw psa w opisie jakiejś cechy ludzkiej lub zjawiska świata rzeczywistego, występujące w języku polskim oraz w językach należących do irańskiej grupy językowej: perskim, tadżyckim i szugnońskim. W badaniach nad przysłowiami i frazeologią zastosowano metodę etnolingwistyczną. Wykazano istnienie znacznych podobieństw z metaforami polskimi. Z perspektywy koncepcji ucieleśnionego i osadzonego w kulturze umysłu (EEM), traktującego metafory jako reprezentacje umysłowe, świadczy to o znacznym podobieństwie tak odległych kultur, jakimi są polska i irańska. Podobieństwa te wskazują na istnienie w jakiejś głębszej warstwie faktycznej jedności doświadczenia człowieka niezależnie od różnic dzielących ludzi żyjących w różnych kulturach.
