Council of Europe: 1994

The multicultural nature of European societies today has presented educational and cultural institutions with a challenge which has stimulated considerable political debate. Over the past 15 years the Council of Europe has consistently argued the case for intercultural education, and the aim of this publication is to present a synthesis of the thinking reflected in previous publications on this matter. It also deals with the fundamental question of the forging of identities. Should education's aim be to reveal and develop in each individual aspects which render him/her similar to all others, or to integrate the individual into specific groups and communities which convey a specific culture?
