This actual description of world wide educational reform programs deals with rapidly changing local and regional situations causing tremendous controversies as a result of rapidly growing diversity. In this context we describe possible solutions for reforming processes of educational systems and to introduce new conceptions of international and urban education: By inventing innovative approaches, e. g. of incorporating international communication and cooperation that emphasize problem‑solving activities on all educational levels. In conclusion we are proclaiming: In the context of international and urban education we try to help teachers and learners on all levels to understand and solve their cultural, religious, social, economical, and other controversies – in the long run of a globalizing diversity. Among other functions, these problems have already been central obligations of our research group „Migration and Intercultural Communication“ (Mikom) founded in 2001 by both of us at the Rhein‑Ruhr‑Institut für Sozialforschung und Politikberatung (RISP) attached to the University Duisburg‑Essen. Manfred Bayer has already referred to these problems during the European Conference on Education and Research (ECER 2011) at the Free University Berlin during his lecture on „Diversity and Urban Education“.
