What is interculturalism to me?
Interculturality is a process that should lead to a better awareness of my own culture and of other cultures, starting from what unites us. It is about how we act and react. Not the changes we want to make elswhere, but tools that we can share. Acceptance and respect are what can lead to good interculturality between different cultures and individuals. That is why we also involve our preschoolers in intercultural education, in order to accept others as they are.
Interculturality is a well-known method to approach different cultures, where the concept of 'cultures' has a broad meaning. Culture encompasses all the values, norms, and customs of different groups. From what I have learned, culture extends beyond different countries and religions. In my view, interculturality involves the relationships and interactions between individuals from different backgrounds. It emphasizes the importance of respecting each other's cultures and democratic principles through dialogue and focusing on what unites us.
