THE ROLE OF INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION IN THE FORMATION OF GLOBAL CITIZENS

Abstract

Intercultural education plays an important role in creating global citizens. Often, current global issues such as migration, climate change and social justice require the participation and collaboration of people from different cultures and countries. Intercultural education promotes understanding and respect for cultural differences, and develops intercultural communication and global awareness. Through intercultural education, students learn to communicate and collaborate with people from different cultures, and develop skills to adapt to diverse cultural contexts. They also develop cultural competence, which helps them interact effectively with others and solve global problems from different cultural perspectives.
Thus, intercultural education plays a key role in developing global citizens who are able to understand, respect and work with people from different cultures to achieve a just and sustainable world.
