Multiculturalism accompanies mankind from the ancient times. Assuming it is an objective social reality, in which culturally diverse groups coexist (react and interact) with various results, there arise fundamental questions concerning the strategy of conduct in this area, which also include the aspect of musical education itself. In Europe (including Poland), the concepts of cultural pluralism in musical education appeared in the 1970s. Maria Przychodzińska defined the goals of multicultural musical education most fully, emphasizing the meaning of enhancing children’s sound imagination and openness to new music experiences in this context. Research has shown that the most appropriate time for this activity in organised musical education is at its early stage. The author considers educational theories which help to accomplishing such goals with regard to the basis of theory of intercultural musical education, and reports results of her action research conducted during a series of lessons planned according to her musical curriculum. Music lessons, aiming to build interactions based on empathy and understanding towards the Other, were conducted in two different primary schools in Gdańsk. The results confirm the belief that music can be the bridge between culturally diverse worlds and, at the stage of early education, children’s openness towards its originality and distinctness (mostly material, tonal, and performance-related) is a chance to shape empathic, tolerant and understanding attitudes, which will help the children to lead a satisfying life in a multicultural environment.

The aim of the study was to determine the importance of education in the formation of social distance of Polish emigrants towards peoples of other nationalities such as: Jews, Russians, English, Pakistani, Arabs, and Japanese. The study involved 262 people, including 137 Polish immigrants in England and 125 citizens of England as the host country. An adapted version of the E. Bogardus scale was used to measure social distance. The analyses performed show that the attitude of Polish emigrants towards people of other nationalities differed according to the level of education of the Poles surveyed. Only in the respondents’ attitude to Jews the level of education was not a differentiating factor. In all other cases, statistically significant differences were observed. British respondents generally declared a positive attitude towards people of other nationalities. Their level of distancing was rather homogeneous and more favorable, not dependent on their level of education.

Multiculturaliral education and above all intercultural education is the attempt to create multicultural world, in which people live in friendship and cooperate creating the conditions towards satisfying course of living. The popularization of ideas and practice of intercultural education depends on the inclusion of various kinds of multiculturalism and on taking advantage of the chances brought by globalisation. The article presents the main types of multiculturalism and proeducational chances related to some of the existing ways of globalisation. On this background, different strategies of acting, which are intercultural education friendly, are presented.

The author draws attention to the challenges and tasks of intercultural education in the context of contemporary problems related to the implementation of the dilemmas and principles of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is treated and analysed not only as the coexistence of different cultural groups in the same space, but primarily as an identity, ideological and educational phenomenon that allows to notice, point and deliver new strategies in intercultural education. The prospect of emancipation, polyphony, J. Tischner’s philosophy of dialogue, ethics of respect for life by A. Schweitzer, genetic law of cultural development by L. S. Vygotsky and the changes of countries functions from military-defensive and economic towards social and cultural, are the basics to formulate the strategies for intercultural education and the development of democratic multicultural societies. By referring to the twenty years of actions that have been undertaking by the Department of Intercultural Education at the University of Bialystok, the author indicates the diversity of educational and social practices of different nature at local, regional, national and international levels. These practices are based on considering in these activities the needs, expectations and aspirations of majority and minority groups about the right to preserve their own culture and the creation of rules of coexistence and shared responsibility for socio-cultural area that is culturally diverse.

Previous research suggests that teachers’ behaviour is influenced by educational beliefs and attitudes. This article focuses on two explorative studies among 99 and 18 physical education teachers, and aims to find out if educational beliefs and acculturation attitudes influence teachers’ willingness and behaviour to promote students’ intercultural competence through physical education lessons. The research design is based on a mixed-method approach. By interlocking quantitative and qualitative data, a mismatch between the expressed willingness and the real behaviour is uncovered. Educational beliefs influence the willingness but not the behaviour, whereas acculturation attitudes do not have any significant influence on the expressed willingness or on the behaviour. The impact depends on the accessibility of the namely constructs that is attained by reflection. Therefore, teacher education must be more than the conveyance of knowledge and techniques but provides teachers with strategies to reflect on their belief systems and their implication on teaching.

Rwanda today faces various challenges of civilization, first of all, however, it has ti copy with the legacy of the ehnic genocide. Not surprisingly, that one of the fundamental tasks that the country and its government set itself after 1994 became the problem of the legal judgement of persons responsible for genocide and of the establishing of national unity, which would prevent Rwanda from the next conflict. Therefore, apart from judging on a massive scale all those guilty of crimes, the government has taken parallel action for the idea of commemorating the victims and began the process of building national unity. Today, Rwanda is a place for education which aims at the creation of a one national community and the state, in other words „education for the community”.

It cannot be denied that intercultural understanding is crucial in the process of learning English at elementary school, junior high school, high school, and beyond. This paper analyzes the high school English textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan from the perspective of intercultural understanding. First, it elucidates the types of articles, the countries materials deal with, and the purposes of the materials used in the books. Then it considers important elements of intercultural education. The result of the research shows that the materials contain various kinds of categories, and many concern English-speaking countries. Furthermore, an important fact is that many materials concerning Japan, aimed at understanding its own culture, are shown in the textbooks as well. Finally, the paper suggests future direction for the use of materials in the textbooks in order to facilitate intercultural understanding.

After 2016, in Polish literature for children, there appeared a few significant books presenting childhood marked by the most current trauma, namely the experience of refugees. Reading these novels prompted me to ask important questions that I am trying to answer in this paper: How and for what purpose, should we discuss the subject of war trauma with children? How is refugee childhood presented in the analysed literature? How the analysed literature talks about the hardships of war exile refugee families and the “rebuilding” of the house and the whole world by them? I conducted an analysis and interpretation of books based on the assumptions of the concept of humanistic hermeneutics. Using the assumptions of intercultural education simultaneously, I paid attention to the sensitising potential of the analysed literature (development of empathy in the youngest, awakening of conscience, altruistic attitude, provoking discussion on how much we are attentive to the other person).

Human rights are the essential elements that allow every person to live with the dignity of a human being. While the conscience of the fundamental rights of the man has broadened its horizons since the onset of the third millennium, it is nonetheless true that these widely recognised rights are constantly being violated in every corner of the world, as in these last times is happening for the migrants, whose personal dignity is often humiliated. This, in turn, leads to the pressing need of an ethical and educational commitment capable of restoring vigour and favouring education towards the development and the respect of the human rights, as these are inviolable and undeniable values, guaranteeing, at the same time, their universality, indivisibility and interdependence.

Intercultural education advances the comprehension of different people and cultures. It emphasizes teaching that accepts and respects that diversity is normal in all areas of life. It attempts to sensitize the pupil to the concept that we all have developed in varied ways and that different does not mean “wrong”. In the presented article, we deal with a term defined in the context of intercultural education. We think about the way of its implementation in primary education, while respecting all the attributes of cultural differentiation. Intercultural education examines forms of xenophobia, trying to diminish them, and advocates equal opportunities for all. Intercultural education works to modify individuals and institutions and so transform the society (What is intercultural education? Do we in the West have the materials to accomplish this in our classrooms?).

Multicultural societies and cultural diversity have become a common experience nowadays and the way of interaction with Others becomes a decisive factor.The task of intercultural education is both to prepare for harmonious coexistence in a multicultural society and to preserve one’s own subjectivity, as well as to treat Others with respect. School education is considered to have a superior role in developing the concept of the Other. However, it seems that the most difficult task is to foster an attitude of tolerance in the interaction with “close” Others. The author describes the case study of intercultural education that is carried out in the lower secondary school for the Hungarian minority in Slovakia. The activities of both the lower secondary school for Hungarian minority and the school for Slovak majority are described and compared. There is an unusual kind of cooperation undertaken by the Hungarian minority school with the Slovak one that is worth special emphasizing. This is absolutely an unprecedented phenomenon in schools with an ethnic minority. This kind of cooperation involves collaborative projects and joint lessons for students from both schools, by which student exchange is promoted. The concept and implementation of the project is described in the interview with the head teacher.Keywords: intercultural education, minority schoolTranslated by Jadwiga Suchoń

Wielokulturowość staje się powszechną sytuacją i doświadczeniem współczesnego człowieka, a w sytuacjach tych decydującym czynnikiem staje się sposób traktowania Innego. Uważa się, że zadaniem edukacji międzykulturowej jest przygotowanie do równoczesnego zachowania podmiotowości siebie i Innego, a także, poprzez wnikanie w istotę innych kultur, modelowanie kultury własnej grupy społecznej. Szkole przypisuje się ważną rolę w kształtowaniu wizji Innego, a zadanie to najtrudniejsze jest z bliskim Innym. W artykule wskazana jest pewna egzemplifikacja edukacji międzykulturowej realizowanej w liceum dla mniejszości węgierskiej na Słowacji. Na tle nakreślonej działalności tego liceum, ujętej porównawczo z sąsiednim liceum dla większości słowackiej, wskazana jest podjęta przez szkołę węgierską nietypowa współpraca, w innych szkołach w środowiskach z mniejszością niespotykana. Współpraca polega na wspólnych lekcjach i projektach uczniów szkoły dla mniejszości węgierskiej z uczniami ze szkoły dla większości w ramach wzajemnej wymiany uczniów. Ideę i pomysł tego projektu przedstawiony jest w wywiadzie z dyrektorką szkoły.

The Science Club of Intercultural Education is a students’ organization which has been active unceasingly since 2003 at the University of Silesia, in the Faculty of Ethnology and Education in Cieszyn. Currently, there are 183 registered science clubs at the University of Silesia, out of which 6 (including the Science Club of Intercultural Education) function within the above mentioned faculty. The idea to establish the club came from Dr Alina Szczurek-Boruta (now UŚ Professor) and Dr Barbara Grabowska, who became its research supervisors. The Club implements projects of different (educational, scientific, social, cultural) nature and subject matter. The activity of the Club comprises: numerous academic conferences (on the issues of substitute parenthood, palliative care, tolerance, stereotypes, other cultures and nations), educational workshops (on e.g. tolerance, human rights, interculturalism, creation and creativity), voluntary activities (voluntary activity at hospital children wards), participation in various national and international training and exchange programmes (the Polish-Lithuanian exchange, the Polish-German-Belarussian workshops). Some entertainment undertakings take place as well (the International Day of Neighbour, folk dance events).

The presented diagnostic study concerning intercultural competence was carried out in the pedagogical context of intercultural education. The research place was chosen purposively: it resulted from the intercultural character of Białystok. In the interwar period that the study refers to, the biggest national groups in the town were Poles and Jews. There were also Belarusians, Russians, Germans and Tatars. As part of the analysis of intercultural competence of students from Poland and Israel I focused on the respondents’ declarations concerning their knowledge of the social structure of pre-war Białystok. Then, I determined what motivates secondary school students to learn about the past. Developing the competence in the affective/motivational area is of key importance in intercultural communication. Identifying the reasons why secondary school students from Poland and Israel find it worth learning about the history of their ancestors is as important as knowledge of the history of our cultural group and other cultures. It was also important to determine the level of Polish youths’ readiness to communicate with students from Israel, and vice versa. Diagnosing the students’ competence allows educators to plan adequate educational activities aimed at broadening intercultural competence, to strengthen the existing resources, to improve the weak points, and fill in the gaps.

The paper is an attempt to present the ways of functioning of the migration is-sue in the latest Polish literature for children and young people, which uses a certain universal topos, namely the home and narratives related to hospitality, when presenting the phenomenon studied. Such a problematised view of the is-sue is inscribed in the reflection on intercultural education, under the patron-age of the philosophy of love and compassion represented by Martha Nuss-baum. The assumptions of the humanistic philosophy of love will be confront-ed with the (pre-)school and school practice preparing children to meet the Other.

Nowadays, young people, due to, inter alia, an increase in migration movements on a global scale, more and more often encounter people from other cultures. Therefore, it seems important to prepare them for living in a culturally diverse environment, especially that the ability to function in multicultural environment is considered one of the most important social skills in the 21st century. For that reason, schools should implement activities in the fi eld of intercultural education that will sensitize young people to cultural diversity and will contribute to developing their attitudes of openness and respect for what is different.

Ongoing globalization, open borders, emigration and the increasing phenomenon of multiculturalism make it necessary to deal with the diversity of a pluralistic society. It has been extremely important to prepare children and young people to live in such a society, which is to shape their attitudes on the acceptance of cultural diversity, respect and tolerance for minorities or ethnic minorities, to help combat stereotypes, prejudice, racism and xenophobia. This task can be achieved through intercultural education. This article focuses on the analysis of the inclusion of multi – and intercultural education in the modern grammar school curriculum in the schools of Koszalin as an example of public institutions in the cities of one culture.
