INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCES IN THE THIRD MILLENIUM

Abstract

Besides the other types of education (economic and entrepreneurial education, education for participation and democracy, the ecologic education, that for protecting the environment, education for peace and cooperation, education for communication and free time, education for health), we also find the intercultural education, which promotes the knowledge and the observance of the culture, traditions and the lifestyle of the ethnic communities by all the inhabitants of the respective country. From the perspective of intercultural education, the higher learning system faces some difficulties of adaptation to the cultural diversity. This can be explained by the fact that besides the Romanian students, there are also foreign students which means linguistic, ethnic, religious, cultural diversity and supposes the coexistence of identities with what they have in common and different (more by token, the motto of the European Union is “united in diversity”). Thus a change of vision is imposed, by which the cultural differences to be accepted, cherished, lived without being a source of conflict but on the contrary of increasing and equally bringing qualitative input. In this direction, Alain Kerlan argues categorically: “the educational responsibility carries with it the power of regeneration, of reassertion of the ability to valorise”.
